There are a few absolutes in vintage clothing, and the quality, fit and beauty of a Jeff Banks designed blouse is one of them. They’re my favourite vintage staple, beloved of anyone who loves clothes they can just sling on over some jeans and feel fabulous with minimal effort.

This blouse is made in a really stunning art-deco inspired printed fine cotton. Repeat printed with the head of a be-capped swimmer, it captures the fun and frivolous mood of Seventies clothing (which was so inspired by the novelty prints of the 30s and 40s). The fit is always beautiful with a Banks blouse, as are the delicious puffed sleeves and the enormous winged collar. If you don’t have one already, you need one. If you love Banks blouses, this is one of the best!
