The Shakespeare in love The actress opened up about “ruthless self-acceptance” at a conference in California late last month. For the event, she kept things classic in black trousers, matching heels and a polka dot bow blouse that looked equal parts effortless and comfortable.

It seems like celebrities are already wearing airy pants, and your arms (and dimples!) deserve the same care. Blouses are, well, airy, which is a pretty central theme when it comes to spring and summer fashion staples. They can be dressed up or dressed down for work, fun and whatever comes in the warmer months. That’s why we rounded up styles from Amazon, Nordstrom, and other stores starting at $15.

Amazon
Buy on Amazon $30 $28
Amazon’s Ace Bow Tie Shirt has both a pattern and a bow à la Paltrow’s. It has white dots sprinkled on a black background, but they are a bit more sporadic than regular dots and more like confetti. The chiffon-like material also looks light and airy, and “feels comfortable and free,” according to one customer. Get it from XS to 3X and in various other colors.

If you don’t like anything around the neck, the T Tahari Feminine Front Long Sleeve Blouse is a great compromise. It’s designed with a V-neckline that doesn’t fall too low, while still featuring the same print worn by Jennifer Garner, Kate Middleton, Reese Witherspoon and many other stars. The sleeves also flare out a bit, similar to Paltrow’s.
