Top Secrets: 4 Underrated Shirt Styles for Women

* Fresh alternatives to the classic blouse
* All styles are suitable for day or night
* Four unique yet wearable styles to enhance any wardrobe

We wear shirts every day. Whether long sleeve, short sleeve, button down or pull over, there is no shortage of shirts or styles. Sometimes you can get stuck in a rut if you haven’t bought anything new in a while, are unsure of what to buy, or just need some good old-fashioned inspiration.

If you’ve been wearing the same shirt (or style of shirt for a while), read on for a few unexpected, yet totally wearable shirt options in new silhouettes.

1. Stylekeepers She’s All That Top

The cold shoulder top was the hit of the Fall and Spring collections and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. In keeping with this theme, we found a similar-type top with a twist—you still get the cold shoulder look with only a single exposed shoulder. Cut from a crisp gingham print that is perfect for summer and trimmed with flounced ruffles and boned lining for shape, this top is definitely a showstopper from the front to the back. Pair with denim shorts or jeans to keep the look grounded yet sophisticated.

2. Free People Fade Away Shirtdress

Our next pick is actually a hybrid shirt-dress style. This staple piece is a must-have as it makes getting dressed so much easier since all you have to choose is what types of accessories you want to pair with it. Free People’s version is in a chic yet neutral blush color, with oversized sleeves and flattering length. This dress can be casual with flats or sandals or taken up a notch with some strappy heels in almost any color and style of your choosing.

3. See by Chloe Pussy Bow Blouse 

This See by Chloe crepe and silk chiffon Bow Blouse is a beautiful mix of pretty floral prints. With ruching detail around the top of the shirt and a contrasting bow sash that ties at the neckline, this top should be at the top of your to-buy list. Sheer long sleeves with buttoned cuffs finish off the blouse which is perfect for work or for play.

 4. Dolce & Gabbana Lace Top

If you want something glamorous and show-stopping, consider this beautiful Dolce & Gabbana Lace Top. While lace is ideal for year-round wear, it will be huge for fall and this version in its rich forest green shade and sheer floral lace would be a powerful addition to round out your top selections. A hidden back zip closure, jewel neckline and scalloped hem finish off the top.
