The chic wardrobe staple all French women will be wearing with jeans this summer - and where to buy on the high street from £25.99
Tucked into straight jeans with a pair of ballet pumps à la Parisiennes; untucked over barrel jeans and with a chunky knit slung casually over your shoulders for coffee runs on the weekend; or smartly tucked into tailored trousers for an office-approved fit. With some clever styling, a white shirt can be one of the hardest working pieces in your wardrobe.
That said, a classic white button-down can sometimes be a little uninspiring, especially on days you're looking for something a bit more fun.
That's where the white embroidered blouse comes in.
Another French-girl summer staple, it's typically made from breathable cotton and features delicate floral designs and openwork detailing, offering a breezier alternative to a poplin shirt for the warm-weather season ahead.
When it comes to wearing a white embroidered blouse, our advice would be to not overthink it: simply tuck it into your favourite pair of straight jeans (we've found the best pair on the high street and they're only £28), slip on some strappy sandals (perhaps these Parfois lookalikes) and grab your woven leather tote (this one from Anthropologie is about to the the It bag of the summer).
If you're looking to lean into the boho vibe, style it with some 70s denim (we've got our eye on these flared jeans from John Lewis) and espadrilles (check out this pair from Penelope Chilvers); or go down the western route and opt for barrel jeans (this new style from M&S is bound to sell out) and cowboy mules (we've bookmarked this pair from Mint Velvet).
Plenty of outfit inspiration to see you through the warmer months. So, scroll down for our edit of the best white white embroidered blouses to buy on the high street right now.

First look at new Father Brown with Dame Maureen Lipman
The 65-year-old helps solve crimes in the fictional village of Kembleford, located in Gloucestershire, with scenes shot around the Cotswolds. Among the other guest stars of the new series are Absolutely Fabulous's Julia Sawalha, Quadrophenia actor Phil Daniels and soap star Debra Stephenson. Dame Maureen Lipman and Tom Chambers in a first look image for the 13th series of Father Brown. (Image: BBC Studios/PA Wire) Photos from the set show Dame Maureen, 79, with coiffed hair wearing a patterned dress and red cardigan standing alongside Williams and Sawalha, who wears a French maid's costume, as well as The Inbetweeners star Alex Macqueen – who is in a tailcoat and bow tie. Williams, 65, said: 'My dad was a surveyor and taught me how to look at buildings, not just their architecture but how they were used, and why they were where they are. So one of the constant pleasures of filming Father Brown for me is the places we film in, and I always have the relevant Pevsner's Buildings Of England book to hand. 'This year, our 13th, has been a great year for interesting locations.' Where is Father Brown being filmed? For the new series, Williams explained that various picturesque rural locations had been used for filming. He continued: 'We have filmed in The Chateau Impney – a French fantasy in Droitwich, the little theatre in Chipping Norton (an ex-Salvation Army citadel), the wonderful 18th century octagonal Crown Courts in Warwick and an atmospheric ex-nunnery in Great Malvern with a glorious chapel by Ninian Comper. Great Witley Church'Also, The Fleece Inn in Bretforton which is a English pub time capsule, the spectacular Baroque church at Great Witley, and to top it off a selection of lovely stone Cotswold houses and churches. 'What a fabulous itinerary. And we filmed an episode at the seaside. Lucky lad, as my dad would have said.' Who stars in Father Brown? The next series will see the return of several cast members, including Tom Chambers as Inspector Sullivan, Claudie Blakley as the new Mrs Isabel Sullivan, Ruby-May Martinwood as Brenda and John Burton as Sergeant Goodfellow. Irish TV actress Sorcha Cusack will also be making a special return as Mrs McCarthy for the first episode. Series 13 will see the new Mr and Mrs Sullivan settle into married life after the wedding celebrations at the end of series 12. Recommended Reading: Elsewhere, Father Brown is tasked by Flambeau to visit excommunicated priest Father Lazarus in prison, and Canon Fox plans to enact revenge upon Father Brown. Based on the short stories by English author GK Chesterton, the crime series is set in a quiet village in the Cotswolds and first aired on BBC daytime in 2013. Father Brown series 13 will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer early next year.

The 20 most irritating habits that make you the worst TV companion
The 20 most irritating habits that make you the worst TV companion A new study of 2,000 Brits has found the top 20 most annoying habits for people to have while watching TV If you've ever found yourself at your wit's end as someone chats away to you or hogs the remote while you're watching TV, you're definitely not the only one. A study of 2,000 British adults has revealed the country's most irritating TV viewing behaviours. These included people who ask constant questions throughout a show, perpetually flicking between channels, and accidentally revealing crucial plot twists. The research was commissioned by M&M'S to mark the debut of its "It's More Fun Together" campaign. It discovered that 24 per cent of Britons become frustrated when the person they're watching TV with munches their snacks too noisily, while another 21 per cent grow irritated with people who keep the volume too low. Sam Thompson and Scarlett Moffatt host M&M'S Couch Confessions pop up at Battersea Power Station (Image: PinPep) However, it appears many of us are guilty of doing the same. A quarter of adults acknowledged they're dreadful viewing partners, owning up to continuously bombarding others with questions during programmes. For nearly half, asking its mainly about understanding what is happening but 31 per cent confessed they simply weren't concentrating on what was happening. Despite these annoying habits, watching television together continues to be a strong way of bonding. A third (33 per cent) of those polled said an evening in front of the telly with mates is just as enjoyable as doing an activity together. To honour these peculiar habits, MandM'S launched a "Couch Confessions" pop-up experience in London, featuring telly-obsessed celebrities Sam Thompson and Scarlett Moffatt. Reality TV favourite Scarlett Moffatt revealed: "TV nights at home are my love language, chaotic, full of theme-tune singalongs and subtitle debates." She continued: "But hunkering down on the couch with Scott and Jude is what makes it so special. "I love the little quirks that turn ordinary nights into unforgettable family moments, because watching together is always more fun, even if Jude is the remote-control-king nowadays." The study also revealed what Britons believe would enhance their television-viewing experiences. A fifth (20 per cent) expressed a desire for snack bowls that perfectly distribute portions amongst viewers, whilst 19 per cent fantasised about a family-sized footstool allowing everyone to elevate their feet. Meanwhile, 15 per cent wished there was a device that automatically set the television to the 'perfect' volume. Guests at the M&M'S pop-up encountered some of these innovations directly, alongside treasure hunts for TV treats. The experience also celebrated the nation's preferred methods of communal television viewing, featuring themed spaces modelled on the contemporary British lounge. Regarding ideal TV viewing partners, Britons would most relish settling in with David Attenborough, Ant and Dec, and Olivia Colman. TV Personality and Radio Host, Sam Thompson, added: "I'm all about turning TV nights into a proper event with bean bags, onesies, volume up and a stash of snacks.

From White Lotus to a very white Christmas! Aimee Lou Wood lands lucrative festive advert for supermarket giant Marks & Spencer
It's the festive war that has become fiercer each year, with retail giants determined to make the best Christmas adverts no matter what the cost. And this year, the Daily Mail can reveal, Marks & Spencer is looking to win the quintessentially British battle by signing White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood as the star of its campaign, in what is described as a 'very lucrative deal' for her. The Stockport-born actress – who first found fame in Netflix 's Sex Education before playing ditzy Chelsea in the third series of the Sky Atlantic drama this year – has signed a contract to lead the advert which will be broadcast from November. M&S bosses are said to be thrilled with securing Wood, 31, a coup which insiders say 'can't possibly be matched' by any of their rivals including John Lewis and Lidl. Filming will begin later this month in what is anticipated to be one of their most memorable campaigns to date. One source told the Mail: 'Aimee is a British success story, she started at the bottom and she has grafted to become a very famous young woman following White Lotus. 'She was one of the most talked about women in the world at the end of 2024 so became a target for Marks & Spencer. 'She's just so utterly charming and so very relatable, she's a superstar but she's down to earth with it. Marks have definitely set the bar for this year's Christmas ad battle, the others will be seething when they see that they have her. 'It hasn't come cheap but the view at Marks & Spencer is that it is well worth it. They wouldn't be able to buy that kind of publicity.' Wood became embroiled in a fascinating saga over whether she had fallen out with her White Lotus co-star Walton Goggins, which gripped the show's millions of viewers across the world. Rumours of a feud between her and Goggins – who portrayed her older love interest Rick – began after fans noticed that he had unfollowed her on Instagram. But following weeks of speculation, Goggins finally said of the claims: 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me. 'This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will.' This year's advert is certainly set to be glitzier than 2024, when comic Dawn French reprised her role as the M&S Christmas fairy, but also appeared on screen as herself. The six-part ad series showed French and her fairy alter ego working together to prepare for a Christmas party. In 2023, M&S signed Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham, singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor and British actress Zawe Ashton while in the past the likes of Holly Willoughby and model David Gandy have also appeared. Wood's signing, thought to be as high as seven figures, comes after M&S reported sparkling full-year results for the year to March. Its profits before tax and 'adjusting items' stood at a whopping £875.5 million compared to £716.4 million in 2023/24, which the retailer said was its highest figure in more than 15 years.
