Blouson

To begin with, let's figure out the terminology and draw a distinction between a blouson, a blouse, a shirt and a tunic. Although there is some confusion in the use of these names, we will adhere to a more precise definition of a blouson as one of the varieties of a women's blouse, which is certainly worn outside.

Less strict distinctive features of a blouson include:

• an elongated silhouette (while blouses and shirts come in different lengths);
• loose fit (as opposed to a blouse, which can be fitted);
• a belt, elastic band or drawstring at the bottom of the product (which distinguishes a blouson from a tunic).

The blouson has occupied a strong position in the wardrobe of fashionistas for more than a decade, and the abundance of models and styles that has appeared during its existence, excites the imagination.

The classic model of a blouson looks more like a light jacket, the obligatory element of which is a drawstring or elastic band along the bottom edge. Like a regular jacket, such a blouson can have a hood and a zipper. This model gravitates towards a sporty style.

An elegant blouson, usually made of fine knitted fabric, it has a smooth flowing texture, batwing sleeves and a fitted waistband at the hip. This model is very beneficial for its ability to combine with a huge number of things. And properly selected accessories will add completeness and sophistication to a simple composition.

Long blousons with a thin belt on the hips are a good wardrobe item, even if your proportions are not ideal. Such a blouson visually lengthens and stretches the figure. Made of thin cotton with the addition of viscose, it will perfectly fit into a casual look, and when choosing a more elegant type of fabric (chiffon, satin, silk) it will look romantic.

Although initially a blouson was understood as a loose fit, today in the current fashion trends there are also tight-fitting blousons. They are usually characterized by the absence of a collar, a round neckline, a long sleeve and length to mid-thigh.

The very idea of ​​a blouson suggests that it should be sewn from the most comfortable fabric with a light flowing texture. Among the most popular fabrics, as if created for a product of this type, one can first of all name thin knitwear, chiffon, artificial and natural silk.

However, as there are no rules without exceptions, among the blousons you can find very original items made of cotton, wool and even mohair. And no summer wardrobe can do without knitted knitted blouses. Interesting options are obtained by combining diverse materials and textures, as in the images in the photo.

• Leather-look sleeves and a knitted blouson neckline lend sex appeal to the model.

• The sewing insert on this simple knit makes it sophisticated and romantic.

The trends of the season will help in the selection of color solutions. Saturated colors are still in trend. By choosing blousons of pink, purple, red, emerald colors to a relatively neutral bottom, you will undoubtedly attract attention to yourself. Blousons of restrained colors will be appropriate in a business style and are a non-versatile wardrobe element.

Stripes, geometric patterns and multicolor remain at the height of fashion. Following fashion trends, take into account the specifics of the figure: the owners of curvaceous forms are not recommended things with a very large pattern, a large cage, a transverse stripe, as well as shiny colors. But in general - let nothing limit your imagination.

It allows you to present the shape in a winning way by hiding what needs to be hidden. Following a few simple recommendations, you can easily find a blouson that is right for you.

• If you have a triangular body type, then an elegant blouson with "shoulders" will help you balance the proportions of the lush "bottom".
• For an inverted triangle figure, a blouson is good because it allows you to add volume in the hips, bringing you closer to the ideal.
• Can't boast of a "wasp" waist? Blouson is just one type of clothing that removes accents from this part of the body.
• Owners of a slim figure and long legs can safely recommend any style. Silk and chiffon models will look especially elegant in this case.
• The blouson is also the favorite clothes of expectant mothers. A correctly selected universal model will serve you after the birth of your baby.

If your goal is to hide the "splendor" of the forms with the help of a blouson, then you should pay attention to several universal recommendations.

• A long oversized blouson with a stand-up collar will visually lengthen the figure.
• The V-neck of the blouson will also create a slimming effect.

• Knitted stretching blousons are not suitable for owners of large build.
• You can divert attention from overly curvy hips by using a brightly colored blouson.

• Pastel shades of blousons made from natural and mixed fabrics will add softness and nobility to the image of a “woman in the body”.
• Tight models, products made from very dense and shiny fabrics should be avoided.

• Inserts in lace and sheer fabrics help to shift accents in the right direction.

Since the blouson automatically draws attention to the upper part of the body with its texture, in most cases the lower part of the ensemble should be discreet.

The flowing texture of knitted blouses will be perfectly complemented by tight-fitting leggings or skinny jeans.For more casual combinations, trousers and skirts that are slightly flared at the bottom are acceptable.

Plain blousons of a laconic style give room in the choice of accessories. But given the femininity of this little thing as such, it is not recommended to use massive metal jewelry. A wide waistband or belt can be used to accentuate the thighs. You can draw attention to the upper part of the ensemble using small or large beads with elements of wood and stone, brooches, hoop earrings and scarves.
