Premium Shirts for Women

The women’s shirt is perhaps the piece we wear most often, and also the one whose quality we notice most quickly. We judge it by a collar that holds its shape, a well-placed shoulder and fabric that does not crease in a morning. These are the details that distinguish a premium women’s blouse. Our selection combines lightweight fabrics for between seasons with heavier materials for winter.

Shirt, dress shirt or blouse: what is the difference?

Shirt, dress shirt and blouse are often used interchangeably, though they refer to slightly different pieces. The shirt borrows from menswear, with a collar, a row of buttons and cuffed sleeves. The women’s dress shirt is its softer, often more fluid counterpart. The women’s blouse takes more liberties, with a round neckline, fuller sleeves or no collar at all. A white cotton blouse worn beneath a jacket remains one of the easiest pieces to live in. Our cotton blouses sit alongside more structured shirts in wool cloth.

Poplin, silk, wool: which fabric for a women’s shirt?

Cotton poplin remains the most classic fabric: its close weave gives it a crisp appearance and a light feel. It is a good choice for a poplin shirt worn to the office. A silk shirt brings fluidity and a subtle sheen, enough to turn simple jeans into an elegant blouse outfit. In washed or textured silk, an elegant blouse works equally well with wide-leg trousers or a straight skirt. As temperatures fall, wool cloth and corduroy offer more substance, keeping the shirt at the heart of the outfit all winter.

How should you wear a women’s shirt?

The first question is often whether to tuck in a shirt or leave it untucked, and the answer depends above all on the occasion. Tucked into pleated trousers with a slim belt, it gives a clean look for the office. Left untucked over jeans, with the sleeves rolled up, it feels more relaxed. A women’s white shirt goes with almost anything, including beneath a wool pullover with its collar showing. The oversized shirt for women lends itself to layering. Wear it open over a vest top, tied at the waist or over a fine pullover, like a lightweight overshirt.
