I love white blouses and tops. So much so that my sister even makes fun of me because of the number of white tops I have in my closet. In my mind, few things are better than a white top that is so versatile it really can go with just about anything and I love the look with my skintone. Luckily for me, this season the white top is even more en vogue and is really a must have in your closet.
The white top is an essential staple in your closet because they really can be timeless pieces that work seamlessly in your wardrobe from season to season. They can be worn underneath cardigans or wraps or as standalone statement pieces in your closet. Consider a few of my favorite white blouses in different styles that will give you a variety of alternatives for your wardrobe and your individual style.

First, check out the Darvey top by Velvet a great long tunic length top in baby jersey cotton, this top in white features long buttons down the center of the top. A great top to wear over a Kelisha long tank by Velvet for added contrast and even works great over leggings. This top is distinctive and a perfect blend of casual and yet classy. As we mentioned it is available in white, but also brown and green.
Next up consider the Pintuck Empire top by designer Zooey by Alice Heller. This great top features contrasting textures of shirting cotton or cotton voile and jersey cotton. With an empire waist for added feminine touches, this top features buttons in front as an added detail element. The top features the cotton voile for accents around the base of the sleeves and around the neckline. The sleeves have a slight flare to them and the waist is slightly flared giving this top a fluid bohemian style look. It is a great casual piece that can also be dressed up when necessary.
Finally, consider the Bermuda V Neck Stripe Top by designer Ella Moss as a great top with a hint of color. This top features yet another style with a fitted waistband and a v neck with contrasting stripes in smokey purple, orange and yellow colors. The v neck features a knot at the center giving it a gathered look in front for added distinction. This top is a rayon blend so it is ultra soft and comfortable to wear. It is a great way to mix in a touch of color with the basic white top.
All of these tops are great white staple tops, but each of them has their own bit of flare or fringe to make them each distinctive and depending on your individual style these examples are great ways to incorporate that basic white top or blouse into your closet. In my opinion you really can’t have enough white tops in your closet and I would be the first to admit that there is nothing wrong with having a number of go to white tops in your closet.
