Blouses is shirtlike garment worn by women. It can be plain, but tends to be more highly decorated than a man’s shirt, with embroidery and differing lapel shapes and sizes. Blouses are often made of cotton, silk or any light fabric and may or may not include a collar and sleeves. Blouses becomes one of the fashionable designer clothing for women, and many fashion designer like Polo Ralph Lauren have different styles for this clothing.
They are generally more tailored than simple knit tops, and may contain feminine details such as ruffles, a tie or a soft bow at the neck, or embroidered decorations. Blouses usually have buttons reversed from that of men’s shirts. That is, the buttons are normally on the wearer’s left-hand and the buttonholes are on the right.
While most women prefer to have the top button open for better comfort, some blouses made for women have looser necklines so the top button can be fastened without compromising comfort, but giving the same stylish appearance. Some women attach various pins and ornaments to their blouses over a fastened top button for style. Some of these attach directly to the button itself, others to the collars.
Knowing your wardrobe is always handy so that way when you do shop you can play the outfits in your head.
