Are Blouses in Fashion?
You’ve heard it said that there are no stupid questions. So it’s reasonable to ponder whether blouses will be fashionable in summer 2022 when everyone wears hoodies or basic shirts the majority of the time.
Regardless, blouses are in for summer 2022. A blouse would be the most trendy women’s top of the season if the 90s fashion trend wasn’t so popular right now.
To be honest, the poet’s blouse and the off-the-shoulder blouse are two of the season’s most trendy shirts.
Yes, you read that correctly; I wrote an off-the-shoulder blouse. Off-the-shoulder tops are making a comeback! Just not in the way you might have anticipated.
Why do People Wear Blouses?
The buttons on blouses (and many women’s shirts with buttons) are frequently reversed from those on men’s shirts (except in the case of male military fatigues). The buttons are usually on the wearer’s left hand, whereas the buttonholes are on the right. The causes for this are unknown, and there are various suggestions that have no compelling proof. Launderers may have started this custom to distinguish between men’s and women’s clothing, according to some sources.
According to one version, the tradition began in the Middle Ages, when the number of buttons one wore was one way of demonstrating riches. Another theory is that the original design was inspired by armor that was created to prevent a right-handed opponent from catching their weapon in a loose seam and tearing it through, as well as to allow a person to draw a weapon with their right hand without catching it in a loose seam of their own clothing.
The task of buttoning their mistress’s garments was delegated to female attendants (since the buttons were usually in the back). They were tired of attempting to deal with buttons that were backward in their eyes, so they began creating or fixing them with the placement reversed. Another reason could be that men can easily undo blouses since the buttons are on the same side as a man’s shirt from the front.
Another notion is that maids dressed women while males dressed. As a result, women’s blouses were designed so that the maid could easily button them, whereas men’s blouses were designed so that the person wearing them could easily button them.
How to Wear a Flowy Blouse Without Looking Frumpy?
It only takes 30 seconds to arrange a shirt and a skirt and look elegant and sophisticated!
Have you ever tried on a loose-fitting blouse? When you’re attempting to strike a balance between an effortless look and an outfit that looks like you didn’t put any work into it, looser-fitting items might be irritating.
Flowy or loose-fitting blouses and sweaters maybe both be stylish and frumpy. It’s entirely up to you how you style them!
If you’re wearing a flowy piece of clothing (top or bottom), make sure the piece on the other side is fitting. Fitted top + flowy bottom OR flowy top + fitted bottom.
This doesn’t have to be the case, though; if you style it correctly, you may wear a flowy top with a loose-fitting skirt! I made a little video for you on how to wear a flowing blouse by following a few simple steps. I’m wearing a casual button-up shirt with a straight, drawstring skirt in this look.
- Put on your skirt first, then your cami, and finally your blouse.
- After that, tuck your cami in.
- Unbutton the ends of the blouse and tie them in a knot. Any length at the back may need to be tucked underneath.
- Do a partial or full tuck with a non-button-up blouse.
- Choose ankle boots or something similar that shows off more of your leg instead of riding boots or a more substantial shoe. This creates the illusion of a slender silhouette by drawing the eye up in a straight line.
- Add a fitted jacket, such as a denim jacket or a moto jacket. Roll up your sleeves to further de-frump!
- You’ve completed the task!
