CHERYL | Collared blouse with a button placket

I can open the buttons at the top when it is warm and close them when it is not. Same blouse, two moods.

Necklines are decided for you by whoever cut the blouse, and once it is bought you live with it. Too high and you are warm and slightly buttoned up all day. Too open and there is a camisole involved. What you actually want is to choose in the morning depending on where you are going, and almost nothing lets you. Cheryl does, with a short placket of buttons.

The button placket runs from the collar down a few inches, so the neckline opens or closes as you like it. The collar above it is a plain classic one, which gives the blouse a finished edge either way. The fabric has a soft linen-like handle, light and breathable enough for warm weather, and the loose silhouette drapes over the body with relaxed sleeves.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• You set the neckline. A short button placket means open for a warm afternoon, closed for a cool room or a more formal lunch, without changing clothes.
• The collar finishes it either way. A classic collar keeps the blouse looking intentional whether the buttons are done up or not.
• Light enough for summer, layers for winter. Breathable in the heat, and it goes under a jacket or cardigan when the weather turns, which makes it a year round piece rather than a seasonal one.
• Seven colors. Khaki, blue, green, pink, light blue, black and white.

How it fits

Cheryl is a loose fit and runs true to size, in S through 3XL. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, because the drape through the body is what makes it comfortable in warm weather. The size chart has the flat measurements in inches.

A few recent reviews

Buttoned up for the doctor, open for the garden center afterwards. Very useful.

It feels like linen without the crumpling. I have the khaki and the light blue.

Wore it under a denim jacket in October and on its own in August.
