Wild Bloom Shirt

What is velvet burnout, and is the Wild Bloom Shirt heavy?
Velvet burnout is a technique where part of the pile is removed from a sheer base fabric, leaving a raised velvet pattern against a lighter ground. That’s where the Wild Bloom Shirt gets its texture. Because only the floral is velvet, the blouse stays lightweight and drapes like a shirt, not a jacket.

Is the Wild Bloom Shirt sheer?
The base fabric of a velvet burnout is semi-sheer by design, with the velvet floral areas opaque. How much shows depends on the density of the print and what you wear underneath. A cami in a matching tone keeps it work-appropriate, and the sheer areas read as part of the texture rather than a gap.

Is the Wild Bloom Shirt a blouse or a button-down?
It’s both. The Wild Bloom Shirt has the classic shirt collar and button front of a button-down, with the easy fit and fluid fabric of a blouse. That’s what lets it move from a Tuesday desk to a dinner without changing anything but the shoes.

How do I style a velvet floral blouse for the holidays?
Tuck the Wild Bloom Shirt into the Cocktail Trouser and add a heel. The velvet texture reads dressy on its own, so you don’t need much else. For a more relaxed holiday look, wear it open over a cami with the high-rise Jessie Jean and a loafer.

Can I wear the Wild Bloom Shirt outside of the holidays?
Yes. The Winter Floral print and velvet texture suit the whole cold-weather season, not just December. Under a cardigan or a blazer, the Wild Bloom Shirt works as a printed layer through late winter. It also pairs well with solid trousers in black, dark chocolate, or olive.

How should I care for a velvet burnout blouse?
Treat the Wild Bloom Shirt gently. Hand wash or use a delicate cycle in cold water, turn it inside out, and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or high heat, which can crush the velvet pile. Check the care label for the exact instructions on this piece.
