When it comes to putting together an outfit, an oversize tee and a billowing blouse present two very different finished looks on the dressiness front. Before a nice dinner (or return to the office), you're probably reaching for the latter option, but you can still pair an embroidered cotton shirt with cutoffs for a day at the park, too.
To prove that point, we looked for the best Old Navy blouses to wear with pants [1] for a polished look or to top your favourite shorts [2] while lounging around. Warning: you just may end up grabbing more than one of our favourite pieces, since not a single one costs more than $35. Check them out ahead.
