A Chloe inspired blouse is spring's prettiest update - here's where to get the best now

Looking for a wardrobe refresh that’s all pleasure, no peril? Buy a romantic blouse. Already own one? Find it. If not, don't stress - the high street is currently serving up the best selection I’ve seen in years.

The details to look out now are pintucks, ruffles, broderie anglaise, and lace trims—essentially, the same ingredients that make Parisian brand Chloe’s blouses such a high fashion hit. Fabric is equally crucial: opt for cotton, linen, viscose, or silk over anything synthetic. Colour-wise, powder blue, butter yellow, cream, or rose pink are the shades for now. If you're feeling bolder, chintzy florals or hand-embroidered details bring extra charm.

Now, to the fun part: where to find the best? My personal pick is Sézane’s ‘Chlo’ blouse—a frill-laden dream with a button placket and collar, available in 21 different fabrics and colours, from Guipure lace to the softest powder blue cotton. Further afield, standout options await at Monsoon, River Island, Anthropologie, and Nobody’s Child, each delivering on the romance-meets-wearability front, and bringing spring freshness with them.

Styling? Simple. Pair yours with pale denim (wide-leg or straight), or go for tailored black trousers for something sharper; especially fabulous with a white or cream blouse. As for accessories— keep your black leather accessories in storage until they come around again, and instead opt for brown leather or suede to max out your effortless style vibe. And just like that, you’re in the mood for spring.
