Let’s discover together the most fascinating designer blouses for women and how to pair them with skirts, culottes, capri and palazzo pants, cigarette trousers and shorts for summer.
The difference between designer shirts and blouses for women
Also blouses for women come from the natural evolution of the classic shirt for women, with cuffs and mother-of-pearl buttons. Its origins are in fact ‘poor’, as it was worn by working women and peasants in the mid-1800s; while the origin of the name is uncertain, it is thought that the name ‘blouse’ comes from French. It refers to the typical women’s shirt, loose-fitting at the chest or defined on the hips and at the waist with an elastic cord or belt. In Victorian times, a blouse was worn by governesses and teachers, and those rare women who were allowed low-level office jobs. In the 1900s, it became an elegant item for important events, thanks to the introduction of decorative details such as lace, ruches, frills and flounces, bows and original collars. The blouse’s uniqueness today lies in its versatile and transversal character for every woman and style. There are many fashion designers who concentrate on blouses for women, with crop tops and unique models, to pair with more serious and sophisticated bottom halves. Stella Mccartney, Loewe and Philosophy are just some of the top fashion names that present entire collections of blouses every year, ready to contribute to fabulous outfits.
The shapes of women’s blouses
A woman’s blouse can be A-line, a perfect cocktail of crop tops and oversize crossed shirts, or decorated with ruches, frills and flounces for a typically romantic air. For lovers of easy, minimalist style, on the other hard, a blouse can be a neat white model, with a simple cut, possibly in silk: this is perfect with a straight skirt or palazzo pants. Irrespective of the neckline, whether rigid or not, a blouse is a must-have item to carefully preserve in your wardrobe and pull out at the right moment.
How to mix’n’match a designer blouse
According to style rules today, basically focused on minimalist and simple lines, it is necessary to respect the size and general neatness of design, pursuing proportional and harmonious shapes. Basically, a loose blouse that falls gently on the hips, should be matched with tighter bottom items, like straight skirts, tight and hugging pencil skirts, A-line skirts, skinny pants and cigarette trousers. The looser and more open the top is, the more the bottom half should respect general rules of proportion and balance: if the top is oversize, the bottom should not be exaggerated, like loose-fitting palazzo pants, especially for particularly thin women. Generally, a blouse goes perfectly with all types of wrap skirts. Also the perfection option with high-waisted ‘mom pants’, or cropped jeans, women’s designer blouses are a must-have that should not be neglected when shopping.
