Blouse: The word instantly brings to mind a variety of styles, from classic button-downs to flowy, romantic tops. But for me, as a fashion enthusiast, it all boils down to one thing—effortless style. Just like Donna Karan’s iconic “7 Easy Pieces” collection taught us, the simple white blouse is incredibly versatile, pairing beautifully with everything from tailored trousers to a chic skirt, under a blazer, or even layered over a bodysuit. And the same goes for other blouse styles—they effortlessly elevate any look, whether you’re wearing them with jeans and loafers in the fall or a maxi skirt and sandals in the summer. The styling options are truly limitless.
The best part? Looking stylish doesn’t have to break the bank. You can find a range of blouses that offer both elegance and ease, especially during the summer months, without spending a fortune. Amazon has an impressive selection of options under $100, and I’ve rounded up some of the top picks below.

Amazon Essentials Classic Fit Button-Down Shirt
Promising review:
A great summer shirt! The fabric is lightweight and roomy, good for the beach or for a hiking, being outdoors, or warm summer evenings out. A true fit on size. There are ‘a few’ wrinkles– not too many but I would not describe this as ‘ no iron’ — you’ll want to hang the shirt up or fold it nicely. The ‘ sale price’ on the checkered was worth it! I will look for other colors on sale and nap a few of these if available. It is hard to find a well made long sleeve summer shirt that is not stiff or too warm. This fits the bill as a lovely summer button down. Especially nice as it is not ‘ short’ — not a ‘ cutoff’ or ‘midriff’ — a full length button down and great for either ‘ tie up’ in front or for letting the length be a comfortable cover-up. Recommended! – Placeholder
The Drop Kendra Long Shirt
Promising review:
I haven’t worn it yet but I did try it on. It’s really a great cotton white blouse. Good quality especially for the price. It was recommended that I get the large (I’m 5’ 10” and 160), but I decided I didn’t want it too full so I got the medium and it fits perfectly. I buy 99% of my clothes at Nordstrom, but I decided to try this because a white blouse will only last for so long before it gets dingy. I plan on wearing it with jeans and the half tuck in the front. – Thomas L.
Gap Button-Front Blouse
Promising review:
Well made lightweight fabric. Tiny buttons are difficult to button and unbutton. It’s wash and wear. No ironing needed if hung when dryer stops. No shrinkage. The length is a bit shorter than I’d prefer but I like it. I ordered xl and it fit well. I’m 5ft 4in 183 lbs.- Amazon Customer
