Sometimes, like a rom-com boyfriend, what you’re endlessly searching for has been right there under your nose all along. That’s how we feel about the white blouse, a summer staple that should be comfy, not too pricey and always there to make you feel just a little bit better about yourself.

The Perfect White Shirt Is Going to Make Getting Dressed Easier
Band Collar
Oversized, but the low-profile collar keeps it from swallowing you.
Cos ($89)
Embroidered
White-on-white stitching elevates this breezy smock top into something we’d wear to the office.
Zara ($50)
Corsetted
It has discreet little side eyelets that you can leave alone to create a blousey button-front. Or you can thread with long shoelaces to create that trending corset look.
Topshop ($62)
Tunic
Butt-covering, loose-fitting top, what did we wear over leggings before we met you?
Vince Camuto ($89)
Boyfriend Fit
Lightweight Italian cotton that’s baggy and short enough to kick around in on the weekend, but also flattering enough to wear with a suit.
Grana ($49)
Relaxed Silk
The superhero of your wardrobe, this button-front has the thought-out design details (like the mini-spread-collar and back pleat) of a much more expensive shirt.
Everlane ($88)
Ruffled
Trust us, you’re going to wake up one day this summer and think, I need to dress like a pirate today. And you need to be ready.
Storets ($64)
