The Return of the Blouse

Tops in womens trendy clothing for the summer is the return of the classic blouse. The blouse has been a fashion staple for more than 100 years, but over the past decade or two has declined in popularity, only to return again as a notable trend. These loose fitting shirts are usually gathered at the waist, and have buttons that open on the left, whereas most mens shirts open from the right. Among the many theories as to why this is, the most likely date from the early modern period, when women were dressed by their maids. Since buttons were in the back, the buttoning was reversed to make it easier for their servants to dress them. Men traditionally dressed themselves.

Today modest fashion dictates a satin blouse that can button up to the clavicles. Pair it with slim dark pants, cropped or stretchy. When looking for womens trendy clothing, make sure you go big on the ruffles, and be careful that the blouse isn’t see through, since many of them tend towards light, thin fabric.
Arguably the best thing about the blouse is that it can be worn almost any time of year – airy enough for the spring and summer, they can also be paired with a  cardigan or heavier sweater for the fall and winter.
