Product Overview
The Premier Women's cotton-rich Oxford stripes blouse (PR338) is a sophisticated addition to any professional wardrobe, blending the timeless appeal of the Oxford weave with a modern, high-street inspired aesthetic. Featuring narrow vertical stripes, this garment offers a refined alternative to solid-colour shirts, providing a textured look that remains understated and authoritative. Whether worn as part of a formal corporate uniform or styled more casually in a hospitality setting, this blouse is designed to maintain a sharp, crisp appearance throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Button-down collar: Cleverly secured on the underside, this feature ensures the collar stays perfectly in place, maintaining a professional silhouette even without a tie or under layers.
- Contrast inner neckband and cuff: A subtle design detail that reveals a flash of contrast fabric when the collar is open or the sleeves are rolled back, adding a touch of modern flair.
- Two-button cuff: Provides a secure and adjustable fit at the wrist, ensuring the sleeves sit correctly and comfortably for all-day wear.
- Cotton-rich Oxford weave: Combines the natural comfort of cotton with the resilience of synthetic fibres, resulting in a fabric that is both durable and easy to maintain.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight cotton-rich blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, this blouse is engineered for both comfort and longevity. The high cotton content ensures the fabric is breathable and soft against the skin, which is essential for busy professionals. Meanwhile, the polyester component provides vital crease resistance and structural integrity, helping the garment retain its shape after repeated laundering. The traditional Oxford weave adds a subtle weight and texture that feels substantial without being restrictive, making it an ideal choice for year-round wear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This blouse is an excellent candidate for customisation, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your brand identity. For a truly professional and premium finish, we highly recommend embroidery; our Telford-based team can expertly apply logos or staff names to the chest or collar with exceptional precision. For larger or more graphic-heavy designs, the smooth surface of the Oxford weave also accommodates high-quality printing. Having been established in 1976, MyWorkwear has decades of experience in ensuring your branding is applied to the highest standard.

Practical Advice
This blouse is available in a wide size range from XS (UK 8) to 2XL (UK 18), catering to a variety of body types with a consistent feminine fit. For a more relaxed afternoon or a less formal setting, we suggest rolling the sleeves back to highlight the contrast cuff detailing. This blouse layers beautifully under a tailored blazer or a fine-knit jumper during cooler months.
Caring for your product
To preserve the life of your blouse and keep your branding looking its best, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature ensures hygiene while preventing the breakdown of the fabric's cotton-rich fibres.
Always wash dark colours separately to prevent dye transfer, which can dull the appearance of the vertical stripes. We also recommend washing the garment inside out; this simple step protects the outer surface of the fabric and any custom embroidery from mechanical abrasion during the wash cycle.
Do not soak the garment, as this can weaken the fibres and affect the colour fastness over time. Finally, avoid dry cleaning, as the harsh chemical processes involved can damage the blend of cotton and polyester, leading to a loss of the garment's natural softness and professional finish.
