Spring 2012 Fashion Trend: Blouses - pretty colours, fun prints & more!

If you work in an office, or have to observe a dress code at your workplace, take note of this trend for your new season wardrobe!

Blouses made a real comeback this past season, and we now have a new crop to share - in an assortment of colours, many of which may already be on your short list for spring (yellow or bright pink. for example), and in some interesting and quite lovely prints. Wearing these is a snap - they look great with skirts, add a feminine touch to tailored trousers, and can also breathe new life into your favourite jeans. They are both versatile and comfortable.

If you're looking for a solid colour, the style should be modern and minimalist with unsual accents - an interesting collar, or with oversized pockets, for example. But the prints come in all colours and styles - look for anything botanical or nature-inspired (including statement florals), something abstract, or even colour block. From draped necklines to billowing sleeves, feel free to indulge your inner artist with something new and different!

Check out our top picks below, in a wide variety of price ranges. Again, if you work in an office, one or two of these blouses will instantly transform your current business attire. Browse more blouses here!
