Shirt Vs Blouse
When it comes to a wardrobe essential for the professionals, a women’s white blouse or floral printed shirt are must-have basics but what’s the difference? While there is no standard definition between the two, there are some identifying features. A women’s blouse is defined by its loose-fitting upper silhouette but gathers at the waist and hips so it hangs elegantly on the body. Blouses do not always feature a button front and can come in a variety of sleeve lengths. A women’s shirt on the other hand are usually tailored to complement the shape of a woman’s body and are never without a stiffened collar, button front and button-cuffed sleeves although sleeveless shirts do exist.
Styling your women’s blouses for work
The workday top should always be polished but can be effortlessly put together. No matter your work environment, women’s shirts and blouses can look undeniably classy. For example, when worn with a pencil skirt, a white button-down shirt will look beautifully polished. When tucked into dark jeans and paired with stilettos, you’re left with a crisp and elegant look. For more powerful looks, women’s floral blouses or a printed shirt can easily become a statement piece when paired with black dress pants. Throw on a fitted blazer over a tucked-in blouse for a look that’s perfect for any board meeting or interview. After the meeting, hang up the blazer and roll the sleeves up to get some work done in the office.
