This selection brings together women's wardrobe essentials, carefully chosen by Béryl. For a casual look, an office outfit or a more dressed-up occasion.

Béryl's advice

Béryl, Founder of Hello Moon Shop, with over 10 years of experience in ready-to-wear fashion

A beautiful blouse or shirt isn't the one that fits closest to the body, but the one that falls naturally. If you're hesitating between two sizes, pay particular attention to how it looks around the shoulders: if they sit correctly, the rest will follow.

And if you're looking for a piece you can wear all year round, choose a fluid fabric that doesn't wrinkle easily. It will look just as lovely tucked into jeans as it does worn open over a camisole on warmer days.

How should you choose and wear your blouse or shirt?

The occasion you're dressing for often guides the choice between a blouse and a shirt.

• The poplin Shirt, worn with tailored trousers or a straight-cut skirt, remains the most versatile option for an office look.
• The chiffon blouse naturally complements a pleated skirt or fluid trousers for a light, feminine silhouette.
• The faux leather Shirt creates a lovely contrast with more classic pieces such as a straight skirt or mom-fit jeans.
• The floral or gingham-print blouse, worn tied at the waist, adds an original touch while maintaining a professional look.
• The basic white Shirt, worn alone or under a sleeveless sweater, creates a timeless outfit for every season.

A blouse that remains elegant season after season should have a classic cut and a color that's easy to coordinate : white, black, beige, camel or navy blue.

Which fabrics should you choose depending on the season?

Béryl's tip : A shirt is rarely worn the same way two days in a row. For a more casual look, leave one or two buttons open and roll up the sleeves slightly. Want to define your waist? Tuck only the front of the shirt into your trousers or jeans: a small detail that structures the silhouette effortlessly.

The styles our customers love

• The Red Heart Shirt : The Red Heart Shirt is popular for its romantic feel without being too prim. Its cotton gauze is lightweight and comfortable to wear, while the small embroidered hearts and ruffled sleeves add that little detail that makes all the difference. It's an easy everyday piece that always attracts compliments
• The Bella blouse : What do people love about the Bella? Its open back, of course. It's the detail that changes everything. Despite its sophisticated feel, it remains comfortable and is just as easy to wear with jeans as with dress trousers. A real "wow" blouse, without going over the top.

Frequently asked questions

Which blouse should you wear in spring? A lightweight poplin or cotton blouse that retains its shape even on cool mornings.

How can you add style to a classic shirt? By playing with the button opening or tying it at the waist to define the hips, rather than simply wearing it tucked in.

Blouse or shirt—which should you choose for the office? A poplin Shirt offers a more structured look; a chiffon blouse provides greater lightness and fluidity.

Which shirt color is easiest to coordinate? Neutral shades such as white, black, beige, camel or navy blue go with most bottoms.

How can you tell if a blouse is the right size? You should be able to wear a thin top underneath without it pulling across the bust or gaping at the shoulders. The size guide remains the best reference.
