Blouses and tops

A button-down blouse with a collar in cotton poplin or satin gives the most polished line under a blazer. Choose a solid color for a calm look and a style you can tuck into your pants or skirt. A tie-neck collar also works well and needs no extra accessories.

Our satin blouses are washable. Wash on a delicate cycle with cold water, skip the fabric softener and hang the blouse on a wide hanger afterwards. That way the satin keeps its shine and soft drape. Our travel jersey styles come out of the wash wrinkle free and don't need ironing.

A blouse usually has a front closure, a collar and sleeves, and falls more loosely around the body. A top is sleeveless or has short sleeves, has no closure and slips on over your head. Tops are often worn as a layer under a blazer or vest, while a blouse also works on its own.
