Is there a colour more synonymous with spring than yellow? We think not, so it's not really all that surprising that shades of butter and lemon have taken over our wardrobes since March's arrival. Even when the sunshine has remained hidden behind cloudy skies (the Great British weather is nothing if not unpredictable), injecting your ensemble with a little warmth and radiance is the quickest way to feel-good fashion – and that's what we're all about.
It also helps that the high street is flooded with all things yellow right now after the colourway decorated the SS26 runways, confirming its status as the season's biggest colour trend. So, when it comes to our spring shopping lists, currently sitting in the top spot is Marks & Spencer's V-neck ruffle detail long sleeve blouse.
Floaty and feminine, this V-neck blouse features a button-down silhouette with gathered-shoulder long sleeves and elasticated cuffs providing soft volume. Ruffle-trimmed ruching across the bodice brings a romantic touch, as does the sheer fabric the design is constructed from. A strappy cami underlayer adds elegant coverage.
Combining classic and contemporary styles, you can't go wrong pairing this blouse with denim for an effortlessly stylish ‘jeans and a nice top’ look that works for almost any occasion. Light wash turn-up jeans and Birkenstocks keep it casual, while dark indigo denim and kitten heels add a more formal feel for night.
However you choose to style it, this blouse is sure to become an easy-to-wear staple you'll live in through spring and beyond.
