This Is The Enormous Blouse Trend We Never Saw Coming

Stepping out in a hot and humid New York, style icon Tracee Ellis Ross, expertly dressed by long-term collaborator Karla Welch, delivered a masterclass in the art of BBD (that's big blousy dressing). Opting for a billowing blouse by Jacquemus and equally voluminous skirt in matching deckchair stripes, it was a lesson in how to keep cool while looking perfectly put-together. And so, as we enter the muggy depths of August, consider BBD the blueprint for your next summer ensemble. The key to nailing the trend? It's all in the fit. Think flowing hemlines, supersized sleeves and plenty of volume. You may think sleeves don't scream summertime, but they're actually the season's unsung hero, saving you from singed shoulders while ensuring you're office appropriate. Choose generous balloons, draped batwings or raglan shoulders that'll allow plenty of room for a welcome breeze. Next up is fabric choice. To truly embody BBD is to appear effortless, nonchalant even, so think linen blends or lightweight cottons for optimum 'throw on and go' effect. Rejina Pyo's ankle-grazing bubble hem skirt in the perfect shade of buttery yellow ticks all the BBD boxes, while Ganni's beige midi dress comes with extra-spacious sleeves and silver hardware that'll take your outfit up a notch. On the high street, Next's 100% linen balloon sleeve blouse will be your warm-weather wardrobe hero right up until autumn. Keep your hair sleek, à la Ross's slicked back bun (the ideal 'do for muggy days and sticky commutes) and accessories minimal to avoid going too 'art teacher'; low-key flip-flops will do, switched out for simple pumps and statement studs when the evening arrives. So, there you have it, an easy-breezy summer dressing solution – without a sweat patch in sight. 1. Acne Studios, Asymmetric Draped Striped Voile Shirt Dress 2.

Boden's £66 'beautiful' work shirt slashed to £26 and has shoppers begging for more colours

Boden's £66 'beautiful' work shirt slashed to £26 and has shoppers begging for more colours "This is the work shirt I'd been searching for: tailored but not fussy, professional with a little fun and whimsy" Boden's Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt comes in four different colours, but shoppers have been asking for more options (Image: Boden) Shoppers have been raving about the 'perfect' shirt for wearing for work that has now slashed to over half price. Boden's Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt was £66 but is now £26.40, offering a £39.60 save for thrifty shoppers. Even better, the cotton shirt on Boden is £6.60 cheaper than it is at John Lewis, which is currently on sale for £33. The Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt is adorned with polka dots all over the ivory tee, which is on trend this year. In fact, Vogue has reported the spotty pattern has made a comeback, with the likes of Catherine, Princess of Wales, wearing a polka dot number for the VE Day service in May. READ MORE: 'Super flattering' Roman dress picked by ITV Lorraine's stylist is perfect for autumn LATEST: Boden shoppers rave over summer dress that 'fits like a dream' and is now discounted Boden's Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt is structured with a little stretch, which means it can skim over your body's natural curves. The shirt is also made out of cotton, which is a breathable material suitable for any weather or season. And the shirt is designed to fall between the waist and hip, making it an appropriate but comfortable attire to wear all day, especially while you are at work, as some pleased shoppers have pointed out. The Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt comes in four different colours, but only the ivory and navy with abstract dots is currently on discount. If you want the shirt but in a different style, the basic White shirt, Forget Me Not, Ivory Strip and Cognac, Pained Dot are all sold for £69 respectively. The ivory and navy colour of the dotted shirt makes it a versatile fit, which you can match with pretty much any colours you have in your wardrobe - perhaps navy trousers, a pink flowy skirt, bright yellow culottes or just a casual pair of your favourite denim jeans. Elsewhere, if you want a more basic looking shirt perfect for work wear, M&S has plenty of options, including its M&S Collection Cotton Rich Fitted Collared Shirt for £17.50. Or if you are looking for a shirt with a more conventionally feminine, Next has the Pink Soft Relaxed Long Sleeve Shirt for £28. Boden's Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt was £66 but is now £26.40 in the retailer's sale (Image: Boden) Back at Boden, the Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt has received over 150 reviews and 4.0 out of five stars in rating. One customer said: " A beautiful material, in deep navy, looking classy and so well cut. Easy to dress up or down, it's already become a fixture of my wardrobe!" Another pleased shopper remarked: "This is the work shirt I'd been searching for: tailored but not fussy, professional with a little fun and whimsy. The polka dot print adds playfulness to a fitted work shirt. I love it!" While another shopper praised it for its "slim fit" and described it as "flattering", and another reviewer described it as a "good wardrobe staple", that worked both for "smart or casual" settings. "This is my fourth Saskia shirt," another pleased customer noted, but begged the retailer to create more in different patterns. They added: "The shirts are a great fit and added stretch makes them very comfortable to wear. They look great under the Boden tank tops. Please could you do one in a green stripe!". Another shared the same sentiment: "It is very flattering, slim fit, with slight stretch, short, it is very easy to tuck into skirts and trousers, and layer under thin jumpers. Which is amazing given that there is a glut of oversized shirts everywhere at the moment. I liked the shape so much that bought both colours. Can we have more colours please (no pattern, just plain grown up colours ideally)?" But not everyone was pleased with their purchase. One shopper said: "Slightly tight around the bust." However, another unhappy customer had a different issue and penned: "Nice shirt but returned as too big." Article continues below But overall, most of the customers that reviewed the shirt were happy. One satisfied customer said: "Lovely quality shirt, the tailoring is on point. It fits me well and isn't too tight across the chest or shoulders which some button-down blouses. The dot pattern is striking and the orange trimming detail on the sleeves is subtle but a nice pop of colour."

Molly-Mae's 'incredibly chic' sunglasses are surprisingly affordable and still in stock

Molly-Mae fans have been calling her recent holiday looks 'perfection', and we've found exactly where to shop her 'incredibly chic' sunglasses Molly-Mae has cemented herself as a style icon in recent years thanks to her stint as Creative Director at Pretty Little Thing and, more recently, with the launch of her own clothing brand, Maebe. And it's no surprise that when Molly posts a certain item to her Instagram, it usually sells out, aptly named the ' Molly-Mae effect'. So we were shocked to find that Molly's chic sunglasses from her most recent Instagram post are still in stock, and even better they're reasonably affordable. The sunglasses, named the Outta Love sunglasses, hail from the cool-girl French eyewear brand Le Specs. Priced at £55, they are pretty wallet-friendly compared to Molly's previously worn £300 to £400 YSL and Gucci specs. Designed with a sleek, minimal '90s look, these sunglasses feature a slimline oval silhouette, with signature Le Specs gold hardware on the legs, and smoke mono black lenses. The Outta Love shape has been specifically designed for narrower face shapes thanks to their smaller, petite fit. Molly isn't the only fan of these specs, with major celebs like Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid and Olivia Rodrigo having worn them before. With over 800 glowing reviews, shoppers also can't get enough of these retro sunnies. One shopper raved: "These sunglasses are not only incredibly chic, but the polarized lenses really help my eyes feel protected and safe! I lost my first pair while hiking and loved them so much I re-ordered a second pair as soon as I had cell signal again!" A second added: "Absolutely love these glasses. They make any outfit look effortlessly cool and elevated." One shopper wasn't as impressed, writing: "Too petite for my face". If you're not a fan of this particular shape, we've found a lookalike pair of Molly-Mae's sold-out YSL sunglasses. The pair in question are the Oversized Square Retro Style Sunglasses from & Other Stories. Priced at £27, this similar-looking pair is more than £300 more affordable than Molly's one. Another favourite sunglass brand of Molly-Mae's is Vehla, who also have a similar alternative to the sold-out Saint Laurent pair. The Dixie Sunglasses are on the pricier side at £170, but are a go-to brand for so many celebrities thanks to their quality, fit and unique styles.
