Jeanne Beker flaunts the flirtiest, flounciest silk blouses for making a striking sartorial statement this spring.
WINNER: Pyjama party
PINK TARTAN, $325
“This print really appeals to the little girl in all of us. Itʼs a pyjama-style shirt, a style that has come on really strong in the last couple of seasons. It would look great with a pair of high-waisted black pants or a little black pencil skirt.”
Newsworthy
EQUIPMENT FROM HOLT RENFREW, $375
“The weight of this one is really nice. I really like the feel of it. The print is so whimsical, with tulips wrapped in newspaper. It’s a great way to wear florals without being too in-your-face feminine.”
A little bit of drama
MADDY K FROM HONEY, $115
“I like this floral print against the black — it’s very dramatic, very strong and has a kind a Spanish feel to it. All the colours are so beautiful. It’s ultra, ultra sheer, so definitely to be worn with a cami underneath.”
Into the wild
TED BAKER, $185
“There is such nice detailing in this shirt — just look at the way the collar is styled with origami folds. I just absolutely love this kind of African tribal print with the safari animals — and the little gold elephant buttons!”
Classic with a twist
JOE FRESH, $49
“This blouse is nice and basic but with a great twist — weʼve got pinstripes on this feminine pale pink shirt. It has a very nice fabrication and a nice loose cut — the kind of shirt you can wear either buttoned up or unbuttoned.”
Simply chic
OLD NAVY, $32.94
“There is a nice retro kind of feel to these polka dots. It’s a fun, simple shirt, the kind you would wear over something. There are loops so you can roll up the sleeves and button them, so that gives your shirt another look to it as well.”
