POL Eyelet Lace Split Neck Cotton Blouse in Candy Pink

Candy pink is a commitment, and this blouse knows it. The color is bright and unapologetic, and the eyelet and lacework running through the fabric keep it from ever reading as a flat block of pink. Light passes through the open eyelet and breaks the color up, which is why a pink like this works in a textured cotton when it would be far too much in a plain one.

The construction is genuinely nice. A split neckline is framed with delicate ladder trim, and it flows into a softly gathered empire seam that shapes the silhouette without feeling restrictive. Long sleeves drape with gentle volume rather than hanging close, and vertical lace panels run down the body to add structure and visual contrast. It is made from 100% cotton, so it breathes properly, and there is no stretch at all, which means the numbers are firm: bust runs 33 inches at S, 33.5 inches at M and 34 inches at L, with the length going from 23 to 24 inches.

With a color this loud, everything else should stay quiet. White jeans and flat sandals in summer. Blue denim in any wash, which pink has always liked. Cream or camel trousers if you want it softer and more grown up. Since the eyelet is open by design, a cami underneath is worth considering depending on the light, and in candy pink a nude or white cami keeps the color true rather than muddying it. Take your usual size, since nothing here gives.
