As timeless and sophisticated as classic style can be, it can sometimes err on the edge of formulaic. Rather than risk coming off boring, though, there are plenty of ways to pull off a pared-back look with an air of confident ease. One of our favourite hacks? A humble pair of denim jeans, with an educated choice of cut and fit lifting a look to truly iconic territory.
Whether you’re heading into the office, doing a post-work drink with friends, or out on the town at the weekend, a pair of trusty blue jeans with a breezy white blouse is the coolest combo for the hottest time of the year. And that’s without even getting on the styling potential when it comes to footwear and accessories! It’s also an approach that doesn’t require you to shop too far, since there’s a good chance that you already have what you need in your wardrobe. Below, our edit of the very best white blouse and blue jean combos.

A natural evolution of the 70s boho vibe that’s been all the rage of late, this offers a more polished, minimal spin on a classic flare. Pair with black leather ankle boots for an elegant accent, or a pair of sandals to really lean into the boho vibe.
