Italian Kelly Green Ruffle-Placket Blouse

If your wardrobe loves a little colour with good manners, this one is calling your name. This Italian blouse comes in a vivid kelly green with a smooth, satin-like finish that catches the light beautifully. The shape is softly easy through the body with short sleeves, so it feels polished without feeling fussy. The rounded neckline is finished with a neat trim and a sweet front tie, while the centre front features a pleated and ruffled placket that gives instant interest and a flattering vertical line.

Around the back, it fastens with a button-through closure using small, light-coloured buttons, which keeps the front clean and lets the detailing do the talking. The overall design nods to late 1960s into 1970s Italian boutique styling, where a blouse could be both practical and a little bit showy in the best way.

Style it tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt for confident, body-celebrating shape, or wear it with tailored trousers and a simple heel for effortless 'I have taste' energy. Add a gold hoop or a crisp red lip if you feel like turning the dial up.
