A silk button-down blouse remains a classic piece in a modern girl’s wardrobe. Worn by the greats including Jane Birkin, Bianca Jagger, and even Brigitte Bardot, it’s an easy way to bring some sophistication to your outfit.

Whether you prefer to tuck or un-tuck, below are just a few different ways to style the perfect silk blouse.

Denim cut-off

Make like Alexa Chung and wear a slim-fitted silk blouse with your favourite pair of denim shorts. Heels work well if you’re heading out for dinner, otherwise black ballet flats are always better for a casual day out.

Pencil skirt

Bring a level of sophistication to your outfit by wearing your silk blouse with a form-fitting pencil skirt. Whether you prefer a leather, cotton, or polyester blend, it’s just important to feel comfortable in whatever you’re wearing.

High-waisted trousers

If you’re heading out for some casual work drinks, spice up your outfit with some high-waisted trousers. They will elongate your legs, especially when paired with nude shoes or sandals.

Mini skirt

A leather mini skirt is an essential in any girl’s wardrobe. Wear with tights during the colder months, and let your legs out during the warmer weather with your favourite handbag and flat sandals.

Jeans

A classic pair of boyfriend jeans and a silk blouse are best friends forever! They are the perfect outfit you can literally put together in 2 minutes (or whenever you don’t have half the morning to get ready).
