For work and not only: 10 white blouses and shirts
White silk blouse or cotton shirt - equally versatile things that, on the one hand, can transform a casual look, and on the other hand, reduce the degree of seriousness, for example, an evening dress on thin straps. We tell you what options to pay attention to this winter - especially since many of them are now on sale.

Cos
COS - a storehouse of strict trousers and blouses that do not look too formal. The brand has more avant-garde variations on the theme of classics: an architectural blouse in the spirit of Renaissance dresses is suitable for multi-layered images. Try it on with a thin turtleneck, thick wool sundress or neon long sleeve.
£59
Uterqüe
This season, designers are playing with volume: they add puffy puffs to their shoulders and expand the hem. The model from Uterqüe is an excellent example: a flared bottom balances a strict collar under the throat and narrow sleeves with buttons. Cite the 70s and wear this blouse with flared jeans, suede accessories and corduroy vest.
8290 rub.
Monki
At first glance, Monki's white cotton shirt seems to be an absolute classic, in fact it is distinguished by a shortened and very loose hem - you can carelessly pull it into a knot at the waist or even wear a wide-open piece with a T-shirt or a crop top.
£20
Zara
A blouse without unnecessary details, as if written off from a cook jacket, does not look like a uniform due to the wide bow around the neck. If white shirts always scared you with their “official” and reminded you of school, it's time to look at this laconic model.
2799 rub.
Mango
Very wide sleeves with narrow cuffs are another noticeable trend of this spring. The V-neck is designed to layer pendants: the newly-found chokers (now with pearls) and necklaces with shells (hello, Anapa 1995!). Another weighty argument in favor of the purchase is a 70 percent discount.
999 rub.
Calvin Klein 205W39NYC
Blouse Calvin Klein 205W39NYC with a deep neckline and two wide ribbons on the sides is worth a lot, but she has every chance to justify the money invested. This thing is a transformer: the side panels can be tied up like a kimono belt or a lush bow, or you can drag it around your chest, securing it around your neck in the manner of a high-necked top.
£371
Arket
The elder brother of H & M and Monki, Arket, is also playing on the field of non-boring classics: laconic styles, soft lines and pure colors. A loose blouse with long ribbons around the neck can replace a T-shirt - for a short sleeve it is now cool even indoors. The bow can be tied not only in the classical way, but also with a pigtail or from the back; in front you can attach a brooch or a couple of badges.
€35
H & M
The Swedish mass market is best just simple things for every day. If they come out in the Conscious lineup, like this blouse, it's even better: all the things in the collection are made from organic cotton, which means there is hope that by producing it, the environment was less damaged.
999 rub.
Palmer / harding
An asymmetrical hem and an extended back of a Palmer / Harding blouse will appeal to those who love white clothes and can wear them with dignity (or are simply not afraid of dry cleaners). Such a model will look good as an outerwear: in the summer it will save you from evening coolness, in the winter it will be replaced by a too-large jacket.
€383
Topshop
Semi-sheer blouses made of fine silk or viscose are best sought in vintage stores: in the 60s, 70s and 80s, we had a maximum of such things with an interesting finish, and they live to the present day. Finding something similar in the mass market is also not a problem - a loose blouse with big sleeves will be found in the same Topshop.
