Reader Question: Blouses for work?

by Stefanie Grace on August 24, 2009

Hi,

I’m looking for long-sleeved blouses I can wear to work. At around 5′9″, I’m on the short end of the tall spectrum, but I can’t find blouses that have long enough sleeves. They always stop above the wrist and make me look strange. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Emily!

I’ve been searching around online for some good places to find long-sleeved shirts and here are some options for you:

The sleeves on this cool tuxedo shirt from J.Crew roll down for a full length or can be rolled up for a more casual look.

Currently on sale at J.Crew is a fabulous selection of shirts in a variety of colours including this blue one. You can also buy the Tall version which should have a longer body and sleeve.

I don’t know how formal your office is but this Western style shirt from Topshop looks to have a long sleeve and can be belted for a smarter look. Topshop also stock this more basic shirt with long sleeves for only $30!

Or, have you thought about going for blouses with 3/4 length sleeves which are much more flattering than a sleeve that’s too short? Try this one with pretty frills at Topshop.

Hope this helps!
