The 21 Best Spring Blouses to Wear with Jeans and Skirts

Airy, light and delicate—these are the first things that come to mind when I think of spring dressing. So naturally, bringing together the best spring blouses is top of my to-do list.

Considering the spring delights that I’m looking forward to, such as picnic days in sun-clad parks and coffee strolls accompanied by the aroma of freshly bloomed flowers, none of these daydreams feature restricted dressing for me. And so, the blouse is about to become a key part of my daily dressing for spring 2025.

The shift between winter and spring can be one of the most stark, and as the British weather acclimatises, my floaty dress and slip-on sandals pairing is on hold for the minute. Instead, the versatile blouse comes to the fore. Looking to dress it up? Add a pair of tailored trousers. Going for an easy daytime feel? Your favourite jeans will complete this look. Woken up to clear skies? It’s time to pull out a skirt. The outfit combinations that lean on our most staple items of tailoring, denim and skirts make it easy to embrace the elegant feel of a sweet blouse.

The blouse may be a classic in itself, but recently, it’s been getting more air time, and I believe this is thanks to the range of designs they can come in. Silk styles arose over the winter months as we began playing with textures and continue to be an iteration that brings a put-together feel to any ensemble. As we ease into spring, broderie anglaise designs are being celebrated both on the high street and in luxury circles, embraced for their delicate intricacy and French allure. The boho revival is well underway, and ruffled styles picked up as soon as the last model closed the show at that Chloé runway. Seasons on, the laid-back, easy influence of bohemian dressing continues to rise as we look towards more carefree days of spring.

It’s also the scope of blouse offerings that intices all fashion people. The most dedicated minimalist may be drawn to clean, refined designs, whilst the middle set adds more detailing with broderie anglaise accents or a pussybow finish. For the boldest end of the spectrum, maximalists can embrace the striking appeal of XXL collars and ruffle detailing galore. Wherever you sit on the extravagance scale, I’ve hunted down the best spring blouses to suit all preferences.
