Structured or not, blouses are feminine and can make youlook soft, powerful, or both. For the office, pair them with a jacket andpencil skirt or palazzo pants. For a casual day shopping or in class, opt forsleeveless and flowy with a pair of gouchos or leggings. Whatever the ocassion,a blouse is a great choice as it provides form, function and fashion, all inone beautiful package.
Many blouses are pulling their style from bohemian inspired prints and the bold and beautiful colors of the eastern shores. Eastern nations live for theheat, and the materials in which they produce their wares make exceptionalchoices for steamy summer days. Their clothing is both beautiful andcomfortable. Loose and made of cotton and linen, the embroidery pops off ofthese and indulges your inner sex goddess as it accentuate the plungingnecklines.
A newer version of the blouse this season is the gathered collar blouse. Atfirst glance, this appears to be a top that you can throw on and run out thedoor. One glance in the dressing room mirror tells you otherwise though; ifyou're going to wear this style, you must buy one with the right fit. Thisstyle carries pleats at the neckline, which, left buttoned up creates anunflattering paunchienss. Opt for a blouse that you can unbotton and let flowin to a plunging, deep V neckline, which in turn will push the pleats to thesides making them much more comfortable.
Choose three quarter or elbow length sleeves on thesebecause if you go with a full length sleeve, the gathers at the wrist will givethe illusion of draping your body in fabric instead of the peasant vibe you'retrying to achieve. Lastly, these blouses are best paired with a skinny, pencilskirt or skinny pants and should always be long enough to cover your waistband.
Simply stunning are accordion-pleated tops. Delicate and intricate, the pleatsadd both a softness and a subtle volume to your look. These should always hanga few inches below your waistband because, with the amount of fabric in thesetops, they tend to be billowy and will float up; choosing one too short leavesyou exposing skin that you don't want showing, unless you're 18. Speaking ofskin, you do want to show some off with these tops, but make sure it's in theshoulder and neckline area. Accordion-pleated tops are best done sleeveless.Again, with so much fabric, if your body is totally covered, you're going tolook incredibly akward. Paired with the simplest of jewelry, this will be a topyou will wear again and again.
Overall, I'm incredibly excited about the new trend in blouses. Even for thoseof us who think we don't pull off the feminine and girly look well, thesepieces are sure to sway your opinion. No one says you have to choose them inpastels; go for bold and bright and make the statement you're known for! Aboveall else, have fun with these new styles and remember, as long as you carryyourself with confidence, you will not only look sexy, you'll feel it too!
