The word "blouse" may conjure up thoughts of clothing for older women, but truth is, it's just a more mature term for one of the most versatile pieces you can own. Blouses come in all shapes, styles, and cuts — and Banana Republic has a wide range of options to anchor just about every outfit.
Layer a sleeveless blouse under a blazer. Make a more office-friendly tie-neck top feel weekend appropriate by pairing it with jeans. Or balance out a cropped top with a high-rise bottom. Styling options are endless and suited for just about every body type and height. If you're looking for something that's more of a staple than a statement piece or vice versa, look no further than this wide mix of tops from Banana Republic.
