WANDA | Coral and white check blouse

Seven days away and I wore it three times. It is in every photograph and I do not mind.

Packing for a week away turns into a small negotiation with yourself. The good things are too good to risk, the comfortable things look like what you wear to take the trash out, and the result is a suitcase full of navy that produces a set of photographs where you are wearing the same thing in all of them and none of them look like a holiday.

Wanda is the one that photographs like you are somewhere. The coral and white check is cheerful without being loud, a gingham-inspired pattern that reads as familiar rather than fashionable, so it does not look dated next year. The cut is loose and easy with a collar and a button front, which is enough polish for lunch out and enough comfort for a long drive.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Cheerful without being loud. A soft coral check reads as light and summery where a bright print would take over every picture it appears in.
• A pattern that does not date. Gingham has been around long enough that it cannot go out, so next year's photographs will not give it away.
• Loose enough for a long day. The easy cut moves with you through a drive, a walk and a lunch without needing adjusting.
• Collar and buttons do the polish. It looks considered without being anything you have to be careful with.

How it fits

Wanda is a loose fit and true to size, in S through 5XL. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, because a check shows pulling across the front more plainly than a plain fabric does and the pattern needs to stay square to look right. The size chart lists chest, length and sleeve in inches, measured flat.

A few recent reviews

Wore it on the Oregon coast in June and it was right for every single day.

The coral is soft, closer to salmon than orange. It suits me at 70.

I wear it over white capris for lunch with my sister most weeks.
