WHEN it comes to the hot weather, there are few pieces of clothing more comfortable than a loose blouse or shirt.

So it's lucky that the high street is providing this trend by the bucketload.

There are scores of printed blouses and unstructured shirts that will work well in the office or for your day off.

For a casual weekend look head to George at Asda where you'll find a reasonably priced kimono sleeve blouse.

We love the lime green and it's perfect if you want a blast of colour.

George clothing is also stocking a wrap blouse with a floral pattern which would be a great addition to your summer wardrobe.

Topshop has loosely structured shirts that give off a relaxed yet fashionable vibe.

Wear tucked in to tapered trousers and brogues or sandals for a nod to the androgynous trend.

If you're still after your prints charming, head to Next for a tunic top, like the one pictured.

It's bound to become the most comfy thing in your wardrobe, yet it still looks smart.

Boho was all the rage a few years ago but now the trend has grown up.

Head to Marks and Spencer for a fresh take on the peasant blouse.

This piece won't look out of place in the office but it is also stylish enough to wear with jeans or a pencil skirt.

M&Co's take on the boho trend involves a pussy bow tie feature.

We love this shirt because it channels the 1970's trend which is still going strong.

For a more structured version of boho visit White Stuff - their shirts have buttons which help give a more fitted feel.
