Striped blouses are a very popular type of top, they are crafted to include a collar, buttons and sleeves. More structured than a t-shirt-style garment, these traditionally loose fitting items are ideal for casual or formal attire. As striped blouses come in a range of lengths and cuts, it is easy for every woman to find one that provides an excellent fit and makes her feel confident in her appearance.
Although plain striped blouses are extremely versatile, they can also be found with a number of attractive embellishments, like panels, pockets, scalloped or peaked collars, and pleats to the front. Striped blouses may be finished in a number of colours, from white to subtle browns, brighter pinks and bold reds. On some items the stripes are complemented by floral, star or patterned motifs, these add movement and flair – ideal for getting noticed in the crowd.
From masculine-shaped shirts to ladylike pussy bow prettiness, there is a style of striped blouse to suit every sartorial taste. Here are some of the most popular trends in women’s blouses right now.
Sheer striped blouses are created using a more see-through material; they look incredible and can be styled in many attractive ways. Try layering with a vest top below, or keeping the buttons fully done up for a more understated air. To work a bolder, sexier look wear a bra underneath, but always choose a shade that sits well with the blouse. Throw on a blazer over the top to tone down the sassy effect, or combine with jeans and ballet pumps for off-duty glamour.
The pussy bow striped blouse is accented by a charming tie to the neck, it is usually rendered in the same fabric as the blouse, but occasionally it will contrast. These graceful tops were associated with a stuffier fashion era until recently, when they were shown by many of the big couture houses as part of their springtime collection. Perfect for women who want a more eye catching blouse, these revamped pieces have a hint of the bohemian about them. Wear a luxurious fluid pussy bow blouse with a mid-length pleated skirt, a denim mini or wide legged trousers, it all looks good. Then choose to knot at the neck or hang loose, depending on the desired effect.
Striped blouses in a sailor style are incredibly cool right now, they are part of the trend towards nautical chic and their smock shape means they suit every figure. On most sailor blouses the sleeves reach to the elbow and are topped off with a cute cuff - ideal for covering the upper arm area. Tuck it into a swanky pencil skirt for a charming formal look or partner with leggings for weekend fun.
Loose fit clothing is worn by the world’s most stylish women and oversized striped blouses are ideal for copying their effortless casual dressing. Wear these indulgent tops with a trusty pair of palazzo pants or a short skirt, use a belt to show off a curvy waist, or simply allow the fabric to flow.
