The floral prints on this blouse aren’t your typical florid roses and daisies. Instead, you get baby blue and dusty pink petals against an edgy black backdrop – and we love it. Plus, the delicate lace yoke detail adds just the right amount of visual interest.

You can never go wrong with a vertically-striped blouse. The brown and white stripes against the dark blue background mimics the colours you’d usually see on men’s ties, giving the whole blouse an androgynous appeal – edgy without being too outrageous.

We are big fans of lace-front tops, dresses, jumpsuits and everything in-between. But we have to admit that not many do them well – especially for the office. Oftentimes, the V-neck plunges too low or the strings are too flimsy, but Wayf has managed to circumvent all of these issues. Even with stripes, it has managed to balance the two elements together such that each complements the other.
