If we had to guess, we'd probably say the most forgotten wardrobe staple is a classic blouse. Jeans, boots, and sweaters get a lot of hype around this time of year, but every successful wardrobe also consists of at least one pretty blouse (but usually way more). As temperatures drop and holiday party invites begin to roll in, we're officially shifting our focus from warm-weather tops and T-shirts to fall's finest elegant blouses.
Whether you're on the hunt for the perfect top to wear to work, on the weekend, or in anticipation of the holiday season, we've got you covered. From flowy to smocked, patterned, and printed, there's something for every look. Pair your blouse with a pair of jeans and ankle boots for a classic fall look that will never go out of style. Shop the gorgeous blouses we've found for every budget below.
