If you are trying to buy better and make your wardrobe work a little harder, then you need to invest in a white blouse. This simple classic has been given icon status of late thanks to statement updates, including puff sleeves, big collars and over the top ruffles.

Wear your white blouse with straight leg jeans and your favourite trainers for an easy way to nail off-duty style. If you want to elevate your working from home look, then opt for wide collars to really stand out. Or, go big on the ruffles and add statement earrings for a chic, year-round look.

This will also take you through the spring, as it looks great with subtle ruffles peeking out from under cashmere jumpers when the weather is changing or works equally well as a standalone piece under a raincoat during those spring showers. Of course, when the sun finally comes out you can wear your white blouse on its own for a clean and crisp look.

There are so many options on the high street right now that you are sure to find a white blouse to work for any occasion, no matter how casual or dressed up. This new purchase doesn't need to break the bank either, so you can invest in a couple of white blouses to see you through the season. The trend might be having a moment right now but, trust us, the white blouse isn't going anywhere, and you will be reaching for these pieces for years to come. The white blouse is definitely worthy of a place in your capsule wardrobe.

Here is our edit of the best white blouses available on the high street now, so get shopping...
