Fabric and occasion govern the choice here. A fluid woven blouse from BOSS moves more formally than a ribbed jersey top; a Paul Smith printed top brings personality to an otherwise neutral outfit. Sizes run from XS to XL across most styles. Free delivery on all orders over £200.
Which brands do OD's carry for women's tops and blouses?
The current women's tops and blouses range includes BOSS, HUGO and Paul Smith. BOSS and HUGO offer structured woven blouses and fine jersey tops in premium fabrics; Paul Smith brings its signature colour and print work to the category. Stock is curated rather than broad — each piece is a considered addition to the range.
What's the difference between a blouse and a woven top?
A blouse typically has a looser, more fluid cut with features like a collar, pintuck pleating, or ruffled details that add a degree of formality or femininity. A woven top is a broader term that includes simpler structured styles without those decorative elements — more casual in application. Both use woven (non-stretch) fabrics rather than jersey knit, which gives them a crisper drape than a t-shirt or jersey top.
How do I style a designer blouse for different occasions?
For smart occasions, tuck a structured blouse into well-fitted trousers or a midi skirt and wear with block-heel shoes. For smart casual, half-tuck a printed Paul Smith top into straight-leg jeans and wear with clean trainers or loafers. A fluid BOSS blouse in a neutral tone can anchor both business and evening looks with a simple shoe change. Avoid over-accessorising print-heavy tops — let the fabric carry the look.
What sizes are available in women's tops and blouses at OD's?
Women's tops and blouses in the current range are available from XS to XL. BOSS and HUGO follow standard European sizing; Paul Smith typically follows UK sizing. Size availability is more limited than broader categories — check individual product pages for current stock in specific sizes.
