Women's tops and shirts: blouses, button-ups and polos

Women's shirts: Le Temps des Cerises, KAFFE and Project X Paris

Women's shirts range from the Le Temps des Cerises Cleo shirt, from the French brand born in Marseille, to the KAFFE Minna short-sleeved denim shirt and the Project X Paris women's shirt. A women's denim shirt is worn open over a T-shirt or tied at the waist.

Women's button-up blouses: Ichi Cellani and Soaked in Luxury

Button-up blouses, like the long Ichi Cellani blouse, the Soaked in Luxury Leodora blouse with three-quarter sleeves and the printed Ragwear Perrine blouse, are worn at the office under a blazer. A long button-up blouse can also be belted over leggings.

Women's blouses: KAFFE, CULTURE and Atelier Rêve

The long-sleeved KAFFE Amber and Penelope blouses, the CULTURE Nalina blouse and the Atelier Rêve Alice blouse play with flowing fabrics and prints. A women's blouse is worn untucked over straight-leg jeans or tucked into a skirt.

Women's polos and tops

Women's polos, like the CMP polo or the Guess half-zip polo, are worn for sport or weekend wear, and bodysuits have their own page, worn under a jacket or with high-waisted trousers. A half-zip polo goes with straight-leg jeans or a pleated skirt.

How to choose a women's shirt

Start with the fit: fitted to be tucked in, straight or oversized to be worn untucked. Then look at the fabric: cotton irons easily, viscose drapes fluidly, linen creases but breathes. The shoulder seams should sit right on the shoulder: the women's oversized shirt is the exception, with dropped shoulders.

Women's shirts and T-shirts: the full selection

Shirts also include men's styles, which can be worn oversized, and women's T-shirts take over for casual outfits. A men's shirt worn by a woman is chosen in her usual size or one size up.

How to wear a women's shirt

Wear it front-tucked into jeans to define the waist, tied over a dress, open over a tank top, or under a crew-neck sweater with the collar showing. With the sleeves rolled up, the women's white shirt goes from the office to the weekend.

Women's shirt colors: white, sky blue, stripes or prints

White and sky-blue shirts go with everything; blue stripes give a more relaxed look; floral prints and bright colors brighten up summer outfits. A women's striped shirt is worn with raw denim jeans and loafers.

Women's linen shirts, satin shirts and checked shirts

The women's linen shirt, white or ecru, is worn open over a tank top or tied at the waist in summer. The satin shirt, fluid and glossy, dresses up jeans for the evening. The flannel checked shirt is worn open like a light jacket in autumn, and the long shirt is belted over leggings.

Frequently asked questions about women's shirts

What size women's shirt should you choose?

Take your usual size, checking that the buttons don't gape across the bust. If they do, go one size up or choose a looser fit: the right size buttons up without pulling.

How do you stop the buttons on a shirt from gaping?

Choose a straight or loose fit rather than a fitted one, or a style with a concealed button placket. A minimizer bra also helps a fitted shirt hang straight.

How do you iron a viscose blouse?

Iron it inside out with a warm iron, with a cloth between the iron and the fabric, or steam it on a hanger. An iron that is too hot makes viscose shiny.

Shirt or button-up blouse: what's the difference?

The shirt often borrows the men's cut, with a structured collar and cuffs; the button-up blouse, more feminine, has a lighter fabric and sometimes a different collar. Both are worn tucked in or untucked: the button-up blouse looks dressier.

Women's white shirt: how do you care for it?

Wash it at 40°C with your whites, treat the collar and cuffs before washing and dry it on a hanger. A little baking soda in the wash brightens whites without bleach.
