The Wilhelmine Blouse

The morning layer for a day that starts cool and warms by noon. It goes over a tee, and the outfit is finished.

A relaxed button-front shirt in a dry, crinkled weave that holds its own soft texture. Helen & Ruby cut it easy through the body so it falls open in a clean line.

The Details

• Boxy through the shoulder and hip, never clinging
• A finely crinkled weave with a matte, lived-in surface
• Point collar, tonal buttons, two slanted hip pockets
• Sleeves turn back at the cuff for a lighter look

For the woman who reaches for the same reliable layer every morning and is glad it is there.

Wear it open over black, with denim.
