Striped Lantern-Sleeve Blouse

A loose-fit striped blouse in a fine pinstripe, cut with a classic point collar and full button front. The lantern sleeves balloon through the forearm before gathering into a wide, folded cuff at the wrist, adding shape to an otherwise relaxed, easy silhouette. The loose body skims rather than clings, so it moves easily from sitting at a desk to walking without pulling at the shoulders, and the length is long enough to stay tucked through the day rather than working loose. Worn open over a plain tee with jeans, or buttoned and tucked into tailored trousers, the stripe and folded cuff read as considered rather than basic either way.

Midweight woven cotton-blend broadcloth with a crisp, structured hand that holds the lantern sleeve's shape rather than collapsing flat. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle to protect the woven stripe, and iron the collar and cuffs while still slightly damp for a crisp finish rather than pressing them bone dry, which can flatten the broadcloth's texture. The sleeve volume holds up best line-dried, since tumble drying tends to compress the balloon shape out of the forearm.

The loose, relaxed cut is designed to layer easily over other pieces across seasons, extending its use beyond a single silhouette and reducing how often a wardrobe needs replacing for a similar look. Cotton-blend broadcloth is also a hard-wearing weave that resists pilling and thinning at the elbows better than a lighter jersey, so the blouse holds its finish over repeated wears.
