Gwyneth Paltrow’s Breezy Polka-Dot Blouse Is a Spring Outfit Starter — Shop Similar Styles from $15

Shakespeare, we’re in love — with Gwyneth Paltrow’s breezy blouse. 

The Shakespeare in Love actress opened up about “ruthless self-acceptance” at a conference in California late last month. For the event, she kept things classic in black slacks, matching heels, and a polka-dot pussybow blouse that looked equally effortless and comfortable.

It seems like celebrities are already wearing breezy pants, and your arms (and pits!) deserve the same care. Blouses are, well, breezy, which is a pretty central theme when it comes to spring and summer fashion standouts. And they can be dressed up or done down for work, fun, and all that’s to come in the warmer months. That’s why we rounded up styles from Amazon, Nordstrom, and more stores starting at $15.

Acevog Chiffon Bow Tie Shirt, Starting at $28 

Amazon’s Acevog Bow Tie Shirt has both a pattern and bow à la Paltrow’s. It has white dots spackled against a black background, but they’re a little more sporadic than regular polka dots and are more of a confetti style. The chiffon-like material also looks light and airy, and it “feels comfortable and free,” according to one shopper. Get it in XS to 3X and in a variety of other colors.  

T Tahari Feminine Button-Front Long-Sleeve Blouse, $20 (Save 77%)

If you don’t like anything around your neck, the T Tahari Feminine Button-Front Long-Sleeve Blouse is a great compromise. It’s designed with a V-neck cut that doesn’t fall too low, and it still has the same print that Jennifer Garner, Kate Middleton, Reese Witherspoon, and more stars wear. The sleeves also flare out a little, similar to Paltrow’s. 

Banana Republic Factory Bell-Sleeve Tie Blouse, $15 (Save $60)

Paltrow’s blouse also had a tie-neck detail, and so does this one from Banana Republic Factory. It can be knotted in a tight bow when you’re at the office, or it can be left to hang open for a more carefree ‘fit and additional airflow. It also has bell sleeves that will trail your movements in an ethereal way, and it’s on super sale for $15 — that’s 80 percent off. 

Spring has almost sprung, so keep scrolling to shop more lightweight blouses, including short-sleeve options, inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow.
