What this blouse brings to the party is wearable joie de vivre
As the bohemian-but-only-vaguely white blouse is a summer look that refuses to die, I suggest we embrace it. You can’t walk through a clothes shop at this time of year without racks of white cheesecloth and broderie anglaise closing in on you from all sides, like ivy. It would be quite difficult to get through summer without buying at least one. So if you can’t beat them, join them.
There is no discernible logic as to why the white blouse became a summer staple. Every so often a piece of clothing comes into fashion and then stays there. It takes up residence in your wardrobe the way a catchy song hook lodges in your head. Before you know it, it’s not a fashion piece any more, it’s a classic.
