Textured Floral Ruffle Sleeve Blouse in Khaki

Khaki is an underrated base for a floral. It takes the sweetness out of the print and leaves something you can wear to work without feeling like you are dressed for a garden party. Add a textured surface and a ruffle at the sleeve, and this blouse gets its interest from how it is made rather than from being loud.

The fabric is 97% polyester with 3% elastane and a slight stretch, so it moves with you but keeps its own shape. The texture is what stops a printed blouse from looking flat, catching light across the surface so the floral has some depth to it. Sizes run S through XL, with top length from 22.9 to 25.1 inches and bust from 36.6 to 44.5 inches, which is a comfortable cut rather than a close one. The ruffle at the sleeve softens the shoulder and gives the whole thing its movement.

Tuck it into tailored trousers or a straight skirt and the ruffle does the decorating for you. With jeans and sandals it relaxes into a summer top you do not have to think about, and under a blazer the texture keeps it from disappearing. The khaki ground sits well with cream, tan, denim, and olive, and it takes gold jewelry better than silver. It is the sort of blouse that quietly handles the days you need to look like you made an effort without actually making one.
