A good, classic white blouse should not be missing in your wardrobe. It is a versatile, timeless garment that can be worn and styled in a variety of ways. In this blog post you can read more about this handy piece of fabric, what a classic blouse should meet and how it can be styled.

The white blouse has been a classic in women's fashion for decades. This is because it is a versatile garment that can be worn and styled in a variety of ways, and is suitable for many different occasions.

Iconic white blouses

In addition to the features of a classic blouse that make it such a popular piece of clothing, there are also iconic women who have contributed to its popularity. For example, Audrey Hepburn is one of the most famous women who made the white blouse epic. Her classic white blouse, paired with black slacks and ballerinas, is a memorable look that continues to be recreated.

Style icons such as Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana also often wore a white blouse in their outfits. Their stylish and elegant looks with a classic blouse are timeless and still inspire women today. Over the years, these iconic women have introduced the white blouse as a timeless and versatile piece of clothing that is still popular in the fashion world.

By the way, this is my (Mariko) own personal favorite iconic white blouse wearer ever: Mrs. Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction.

Quality materials and a timeless design

A classic blouse is preferably made of quality materials, such as cotton, linen or silk. This ensures that the blouse is durable and lasts a long time. The design must be timeless, so that the blouse does not go out of fashion quickly and can be worn for years. A simple design without many striking details is therefore ideal. Personally, I like a cotton blouse, like this white men's shirt from Hema - €27.50. So you see that a stylish appearance does not have to be expensive at all.

Suitable for different occasions

The perfect classic white blouse is suitable for many different occasions, from formal to informal. It should be easy to style for different outfits and occasions. For example, the blouse can be beautifully combined with black trousers and heels for a formal look, or with jeans and sneakers for a more casual look (see the videos below).

Style tips for a classic blouse

There are many ways to style a classic blouse. One of the most popular ways is to tuck the blouse into trousers or a skirt for a 'clean' look. Another option is to wear the blouse loosely over tight trousers or jeans for a more casual and relaxed look.

The white blouse can be endlessly combined with different accessories, such as a chunky statement necklace, a scarf or a blazer. With these accessories you add your own style and personality to your outfit.

Below are two different approaches to styling your blouse. But in the end, the bottom line is that the possibilities are endless.


Long story short

It should be clear that a classic blouse is a timeless piece of clothing that belongs in every wardrobe. It should be made of quality materials and have a timeless design. A good fit and neutral colors are also important for a classic blouse. It is suitable for different occasions and can be styled in many ways. With a few smart styling tips, you can wear a classic blouse in a way that suits your style and personality.
