The great thing about the tie neck blouse is that it fits well with a couple of the big trends for fall, and it is proving to be just as popular in the spring 2016 shows. Wear your pussy bow with wide leg or flare pants to embrace the ‘70s aesthetic, or pair your blouse with a midi skirt and Mary Jane pumps to show off a ladylike look. A tie neck shirt can even go casual by adding denim to the mix. It really is as versatile as any of your wardrobe basics…at least for the next couple seasons.
I wouldn’t blame you for not wanting to throw down several hundred dollars for the straight-off-the-runway Chloe or Gucci versions of the tie neck blouse. It’s unlikely this look will be popular for more than a calendar year, maybe two. Not exactly the kind of staying power that would warrant an investment. Luckily there are plenty of affordable options to choose from. I’ve rounded up a handful of my favorites here.
This semi-sheer, relaxed blouse is just plain pretty. Wear a camisole underneath, or layer a sweater over top, to up the work-appropriate factor.
