Beautiful Blouses
In recent years, the blouse has become a little forgotten in favour of jersey and knit tops. But everyday blouses have a lot to offer and is perfect for both smart and casual outfits. A blouse is a versatile piece of clothing that is cool in the summer and can easily be layered with jackets, cardigans or jumpers in the winter for extra warmth. The fitted nature of a blouse is incredibly flattering as it skims over the body to give a smooth silhouette. Blouses can be a variety of lengths and neatly cover the waist band of a pair of trousers or a skirt. They can be layered over camisoles, vests and t shirts and done up to the top or left with a few buttons undone depending on the look that you are trying to create. Plain or patterned blouses are a great option for creating flattering and stylish outfits.
Although not all blouses have collars, in fact there are plenty that don’t, the collar is particularly flattering for ladies of over forty as it covers the neck and draws the attention up towards the face. Turning up the collar of a blouse or rolling up the sleeves is a great way to make a casual but very stylish outfit.
