If there’s one piece that really comes into its own once spring arrives, it’s the blouse. There’s something about a well-cut, considered style that instantly elevates an outfit—whether you’re pairing it with jeans, linen trousers or a simple skirt, a blouse adds an easy sense of polish. And right now, three brands are getting it particularly right: Zara, COS and H&M.
Each brings something slightly different to the table. Zara leans into the more trend-led side of things, offering everything from romantic lace and ruffled finishes to puff sleeves and delicate embroidery. H&M takes a similarly directional approach, but with a softer, more playful edge—think fresh colour palettes, from baby blue to powder pink, that give classic silhouettes a lighter feel. Then there’s COS. With its clean lines, subtle volume and focus on fabrication, it’s the go-to for minimalists looking for something quietly elevated.
From ruffles and lace to polka dots and scarf details, these are the blouse trends defining the season—shop the best from Zara, H&M and COS below.
