Blouses: fashion trends of 2021

Every stylish woman has at least one blouse in her wardrobe. It is a basic piece that is simple, elegant and versatile at the same time. But in the variety of models presented today, you can just get lost. Therefore, we bring to your attention a sighting overview of the most interesting blouses and fashion trends of the current year!

There are so many styles and varieties of modern women's blouses that it is simply impossible to list them all. Therefore, we will consider the most trendy options. In addition to traditional blouses, original models are relevant today.

The blouse with this name is a sleeveless model popularized in the 50s of the twentieth century by the movie star Marilyn Monroe. Today, when many fashion elements from different retro eras are becoming actual trends, "American" is a great way to highlight your femininity.

Such blouses can be straight, fitted or loose silhouette. The collar is made in different variations: turn-down, stand-up, chill mold, frill, bow-collar. An American blouse is good for both a business style and a romantic look.

This model is an oriental fashion trend. The modern kimono blouse has loose, one-piece sleeves, usually ¾ long, with no cuffs. The waistline is traditional or high.There are no buttons or zippers, the neck is regular or “boat”. The classic length is up to mid-thigh, but modern models are also found in shortened variations.

These blouses were originally made from natural silk fabrics and decorated with painting and embroidery. Therefore, traditional kimonos always have a satin texture and are rarely performed in a single color.

This blouse is perfect for creating a romantic look. Suitable for slender girls who want to emphasize their sexuality. Bare beautiful shoulders or protruding collarbones is a modern trend.

Most often, off-shoulder blouses have straight or voluminous cropped sleeves. They are sewn from airy light fabrics that coquettishly fall down. Their length is usually classic or shortened, there are also longer models. They can be both minimalistic and have a lot of decorative elements, for example, ruffles, lace trim, etc.

This model can be called a strengthened version of the previous one. Even more frank, even more seductive.

Delicate range will look very advantageous with denim things, be it jeans or a skirt. Such blouses often have voluminous sleeves, so a balance should be observed with them in an ensemble: there will be no need for excess volume in the lower part of the outfit.

Another seductive model. A blouse that reveals one shoulder, like the two options described above, is the perfect basis for a romantic summer look. The fabric can be either airy or stiffer. Any sleeve length: from the shortest to the length of the entire arm.

In this case, the sleeve itself can be simple or end with a cuff. Ruches, flounces, bows - any such decoration is appropriate here. It is worth paying attention not only to plain options, but also to models with embroidery or beading, ribbons, etc.

This blouse can be of any style: with short or long sleeves, with buttons or one-piece. But in any case, the model on the yoke looks very feminine and sophisticated. A blouse with a yoke is appropriate in any setting: in the office, on vacation, in everyday affairs (shopping, meeting with friends, etc.).

Only its color and style will adapt to the situation. It can be a strict shirt or a romantic blouse made of thin light fabric, colors ranging from classic to stylish prints and bright colors.

Such blouses are worn over the head and have either a wide neckline or a short fastener that reaches to the chest.

Such blouses can be made not only from traditional fabrics (light, airy, translucent), but also from thin jersey or thick cotton. The length of such blouses varies from traditional to increased (up to mid-thigh).

How the neckline on the blouse should be depends on its style. So, a business blouse assumes the presence of a collar - stand, turn-down, etc. Street casual or ethnic (folk) style allows a free round neck.

However, if we talk about the favorites of today's fashion collections, then these are, of course, V-neck blouses!

The sleeves of a women's blouse differ, first of all, in length, which can be:

• traditional,
• ¾,
• ¼,
• very short.

According to the method of connection with the blouse, the sleeves can be set-in, raglan, one-piece or combined.

In this case, the types of sleeves can be distinguished as follows:

• shirting (traditional sleeve ending with a regular cuff);
• amadis (wide and long, it is framed by a high and narrow cuff);
• butterfly (very short, rather wide, flared, has a wavy edge);
• balloon (fluffy sleeve due to wide cut and elasticated cuffs);
• sleeve-flashlight (very voluminous and short, ends with a narrow cuff);
• bat (very wide from the shoulder, tapers sharply from the elbow to the wrist);

• gutter (very narrow, fits the hand tightly);
• kimono (very wide, no cuffs, loose fit);
• bell (long, wide, flared at the bottom);
• winglet (very short and close-fitting sleeve - when the sleeves seem to be cut off);
• petal (length ¼, but covers only the shoulder, and the axillary part remains naked);
• with a cut (can be traditional length or ¾, the cut goes along the outside of the sleeve).

Among all the possible ways to decorate clothes today, several especially popular decorative elements that are found on women's blouses should be noted.

Bow... It is found as a sew-on option, which has an exclusively decorative function, but no less common are models, the gate of which ends with two wide ribbons tied with a bow. Here, decoration also plays a practical role.

Frill... The collar with this trim is very original, but at the same time it is versatile. Suitable for women of fashion of any age and style, it is appropriate in almost any situation.

Embroidery... An element actively used by designers in recent years. Most of the blouses with embroidery are produced in ethnic or oriental style.

In addition, stylists use a lot of other decorative means:

• false collars;
• ties or bow ties;
• fringe;
• patches and appliques;
• buttons or zippers on the back, etc.

In this category, the variety of blouse models also does not slow down. Four general groups can be distinguished:

Long... More appropriate in an informal setting, since they are not at all combined with a strict image. They can be plain or covered with interesting prints, transparent or dense fabrics. This model can be considered beyond age, although today young women of fashion are more attracted to it than ladies of respectable years.

Average... The classics of the genre are the standard length models. She is found in strict office blouses, and in frivolous romantic models, and in specimens of an unusual cut. This length suits everyone. The main thing is a well-chosen bottom.

Short... An option for the young, slender and brave. Short blouses can barely cover the belly button or even bare it. Such models are available with an elastic band at the bottom or with ties. A shortened version is also possible, completely repeating the classic model (except for the length).

With a train. Asymmetry turned into a classic. This fashionable lengthening of blouses at the back is no longer a novelty and has become commonplace. Now every modern girl should have in her wardrobe a blouse that looks classic at first glance, but with a train at the back.

Any variation with a fitted silhouette should be considered the optimal model of a blouse that can be worn under a corset. In this case, the length and width of the sleeve is not so important.
