With the change of season upon us, we're all looking for ways to refresh our wardrobes for the season ahead. While it can be tempting to indulge in off-the-moment trend-led buys, we can't forget the power of a reliable staple which you'll rely on as the basis of multiple looks and wear year after year. Our latest inspiration? Holly Willoughby's crisp blue blouse with ruffled detailing, putting a twist on a classic.
For her new YouTube series, Holly Willoughby Together, the presenter posed in a sky blue blouse with mid-length sleeves and statement ruffling around the neckline and cuffs, sharing the snap to her Instagram account. She wore the blouse tucked into a pair of staight leg jeans with a pair of neutral ballerina flats.
Holly's short is by Trilogy, and appears to be the Doen Henri Top in Alice Blue which is £255. It's a popular design, as it's currently sold out online. Lucikly, we've found a similar version which we think is even sleeker - and it's cheaper, too.
M&S' blue blouse has the same ruffled necklace but longer sleaves which billow out. The Lyocell-rich material gives the fabric an almost glossy sheen in the light, and is available in a wide range of sizes - petite and regular fits, sizes 6 to 24. The best part? It's in stock in most sizes and only £28:

Holly's ballerina flats appear to be Dune's Haliah style in dark pink, which are available in sizes 3 to 8 online for £79. Meanwhile, her straight jeans are by Thread Ware, a UK brand which creates custom Levis jeans.
The presenter has pivoted to a new lifestyle show on YouTube rather than conventional television channels, launching Holly Willoughby Together which offers a mix of recipes, beauty and fashion advice and interviews with guests including Katherine Ryan.
