Styling The Esme Blouse with Claire Lopez

Wardrobe Hero: The Pretty White Blouse

We all know that one piece in our wardrobe that just works, no matter the occasion. For spring, it’s all about the pretty white shirt—a true wardrobe hero. We asked London stylist Claire Lopez to find the perfect SOTR white shirt and share why it’s such a must-have for a spring capsule wardrobe. Meet The Esme Blouse!

A pretty white shirt is essential because of its sheer versatility. It’s a piece that effortlessly adapts to different looks while adding a touch of elegance. For those chillier spring days, layering it with a sweater allows the beautiful collar and cuff details to peek through, adding interest without overpowering your outfit.

When it comes to styling, the options are endless. For a relaxed, casual look, pair it with your favourite denim—whether that’s straight-leg jeans or even wide-leg trousers. If you’re heading to work, a white shirt instantly elevates tailored trousers or a sleek skirt. And for a night out, the pretty Esme shirt with its delicate ruffle and lace details adds that special touch.

The beauty of the pretty white shirt is that it’s not just practical—it’s special enough to make you feel put together and stylish no matter how you wear it. It truly is a hardworking piece that earns its place in your spring wardrobe.

The Esme Blouse

The Esme Blouse—a true spring wardrobe hero! Crafted from 100% cotton, this beautiful piece effortlessly blends comfort with timeless style. The intricate Broderie Anglaise and crochet detailing make it a standout, while the subtle design touches elevate it to something truly special.

One of the most charming features of the Esme Blouse is its delicate pie crust collar, framed with exquisite Broderie Anglaise detailing. It adds a pretty, vintage-inspired touch that's perfect for layering under knits or wearing on its own. The double frill detail on the cuffs is equally gorgeous, giving a soft, feminine flair that makes this blouse feel extra special.

What truly sets the Esme Blouse apart are the crochet detail cuffs, finished with three elegant buttons. These thoughtful design elements create a unique contrast of textures, adding interest to the overall look. Pair it with your favourite denim for a laid-back vibe or dress it up with tailored trousers.

Whether you’re dressing for brunch, a day out, or even the office, the Esme Blouse brings a touch of luxe and sophistication to any outfit. It's a real wardrobe hero that captures the essence of spring with its airy cotton feel. 

With Your Favorite Denim Pair the Esme Blouse with classic blue jeans for an easy, relaxed look. The pretty collar and cuff details add a touch of romance to casual outfits, making it perfect for brunch or weekend outings.

Layered with a Trench Coat and Neutral Accessories For a chic, put-together look, wear the blouse under a trench coat and finish with neutral accessories. Think a tan crossbody bag and beige loafers to complement the soft, delicate details of the blouse.

Monotone Style with White Jeans and Trainers Go for a clean, modern vibe by styling the Esme Blouse with white jeans and classic white trainers. This monotone look is fresh and perfect for spring, keeping things light and airy.

Peeking Out from a Soft Knit Layer the blouse under a cozy knit sweater, letting the ruffle collar and cuff details peek out for a subtle, feminine touch. This combination works brilliantly on cooler days while still showing off the blouse’s beautiful features.

With a Suede Jacket For a touch of texture, pair the Esme Blouse with a soft suede jacket. This combination gives a hint of boho flair while keeping things effortlessly stylish. Perfect for transitional weather when you need a light layer.

Work Ready with Wide-Leg Trousers Dress up the Esme Blouse for the office by pairing it with wide-leg trousers in navy or black. Add simple loafers or block heels for a sophisticated, professional look that’s still undeniably pretty.
