They say the late-summer heat will last a while, so I'm looking for an 8/10-sleeve blouse that's cool and nice to wear on its own.

There are no blouses in the materials explicitly specified as having 8/10 sleeves. Instead, among lightweight blouses great for wearing on their own, I've selected an item with adjustable string cuffs, cool linen items, and lightweight bio-cotton items. Please compare the differences in fabric feel and details.

I've picked five tops that contain linen. They range from a voluminous V-neck blouse made of 100% linen fabric to shirt styles blended with cotton or rayon for relatively easy care. Check out whether you prefer a striped pattern or a solid design.

The product confirmed to be 100% linen is one striped blouse made with Italian fabric. The other four items were excluded from the options because they are blends mixed with cotton, rayon, polyester, and so on. It features a shallow V-neck and shirring details that give it natural volume.
