What are the quintessential elements of a peasant blouse? An inexhaustive list might include full sleeves (short or long), lovely detailing, an open neck, and a breezy fit (or maybe a smocked waist). 

Hard to pin down but beloved by beatniks, bohemians, hippies, early Hollywood actresses, and virtually everyone else all over the world, peasant blouses are untailored and soft — they speak to the imagination, implying more than they reveal. 

The Willa Top  puts a Faherty spin on this iconic style: crafted from airy organic cotton, with romantic blouson sleeves, subtle pleats and ruffles, and delicate embroidery throughout. 

 

 

Our top way to wear it: tucked into a classic pair of high-waisted, straight-leg jeans with a cute pair of boots and a good vintage belt. 

Other looks we love are a French tuck for a more casual vibe, loose on the weekend over your go-to leggings, or paired with your favorite skirt for classic vibes. Either way, it’s as easy to dress up as it is to dress it down, transitioning from day to night with ease.
