As winter layers begin to fall away and silhouettes lighten, the white blouse returns to focus. A classic, yes, but this season it’s the versions with unexpected details that matter most: ties, ruffles, sheer panels and subtle tailoring twists that elevate the familiar. Below, Vogue Scandinavia has handpicked the eight best white blouses for women right now – each chosen for going way beyond the basics

The best white tie blouse
A white tie blouse that leans playful rather than precious. With its sailor-like detailing and soft structure, this blouse nods to the 1920s without tipping into costume. Wear it casually with denim and flats, or sharpen it up with jewellery and a skirt. A reminder that a tie doesn’t have to lean corporate.
The best classic white tie blouse
If you want a white blouse that earns its keep, this is it. Cut with a feminine fit and finished with a detachable bow, Stenströms’ take offers two looks in one: romantic when tied into a bow, clean and minimal when removed. A modern classic that works across dress codes – and has for the past 125 years.
The most elegant white blouse
From the front, this looks deceptively simple. Turn around and those delicious sartorial details reveals themselves. With sheer panels and a reversed collar, this white blouse is all about restraint with impact. Best styled simply, this looks its absolute best when you walk away.
The best white blouse with ruffles
Ruffles, balloon sleeves and a high neckline come together in crisp cotton poplin for a blouse that feels intentional yet wearable with its Victorian references. Balance it with tailored black trousers, or lean into Patou’s styling cues with a short skirt.
The best white cotton blouse
Crisp, oversized and refreshingly unfussy. This white cotton blouse offers built-in styling flexibility: wear the tie as a bow, a scarf, or not at all. It’s the kind of piece that adapts to your sartorial mood of the day, not the other way around.
The best white silk blouse
This is the Rolls-Royce of white blouses. Crafted in silk with a sculptural bow and concealed buttons, Givenchy's rendition is unapologetically elegant. It’s a dinner-date blouse in the truest sense: polished, fluid and surprisingly commanding when paired with sharp tailoring.
Best white button-up blouse
Acne Studios does what Acne Studios does best: takes a classic and dial-up the details, beautifully. With double collars and layered sleeves, this white button-up blouse taps into the season’s shirt-layering trend without requiring any extra effort. Wear it tucked into denim or menswear trousers.
Best tuxedo-style white blouse
No white blouse edit is complete without a tuxedo shirt. Arket’s version stands out thanks to its pankou closure, stand collar and slightly elongated back panel. Clean, architectural and endlessly versatile, it works with almost anything and asks very little in return.
