Have you already refreshed your summer wardrobe by adding trendy white blouses?
Don't ignore these options - they are incredibly versatile, fit perfectly into almost any wardrobe, help refresh your summer looks and even add a unique twist. The main thing is to choose the right one. Fortunately, mass market, premium and luxury brands offer us a lot of options.
Sit back, grab a cup of tea or coffee - we are starting a complete guide to choosing summer blouses!
Fashionable styles
However, we will consider options not only for summer, because most of them are universal, will remain with you at least until autumn-winter, and will perfectly complement your wardrobe for work, study, dates, and leisure.
You don't have to have them all - buy something that fits your personal style and will definitely make you happy. Otherwise the item is not worth the money.
Romantic ties
Perfect for young women with perfect abs. The strings fluttering in the wind add a special romanticism to such models. Draperies, long sleeves that widen at the bottom, and even a deep neckline are appropriate.
Fits perfectly into the urban style and can be combined with almost any “bottom” elements.
Pair with tiered pendants or large hoop earrings. Ribbons can be tied into a small bow or left fluttering in the wind. Romantic, summery.
Open shoulders
Such models are especially loved by celebrities. It is not necessary to purchase such a thing - you can style your existing white shirt in a classic men's style. Unfasten a few buttons and lower them to your shoulders.
A lingerie-style top or bodysuit with lace and thin straps, worn under a blouse, will add relevance to the look.
The peeking lace under the white fabric looks delicate and sexy.
Complement these looks with formal high-waisted trousers and midi skirts.
As an option - with built-in lace combinations, or decorated with chains and various weaves. You can choose a product with sleeves and delicate satin straps or straps made of thin chains - these are also current styles.
If you expose your shoulders, do not forget to use creams with a UV protection factor - the skin of the neck and décolleté is especially susceptible to photoaging.
Patch pockets
This is a militaristic option, which, however, adds femininity to the image if it is made of lightweight materials. Patch pockets in the chest area visually add volume.
Choose an oversized one and it will complement almost any look.
Pay attention to the details: there should be no buttons in the middle of the sleeve and no tabs to raise the sleeve itself. This is not a trendy element, it is completely outdated - leave it in 2013.
Satin
Choose high-quality satin. Cheap models have an unattractive shine and are easy to tug on.
You can choose either regular satin or complex models with puffy sleeves, elegant cuffs, and ribbons.
In such cases, you can also purchase fitted styles if the sleeves are large enough (wide or puffed) and the neckline is wide. In such clothes you will feel like a real princess.
Great combination with trousers
Combine with any elements - even with jeans, even with trousers, even with skirts, and don’t forget that satin loves accessories.
Frills of their cotton and linen
Romantic retro styles are what you need. Lots of frills, elegant cuffs that wrap around thin wrists, natural material, lots of buttons, large cotton lace.
This is another summer fashion trend (although it will also be relevant in subsequent colder seasons) of 2021.
Let nothing hinder your movement. True French style, isn't it?
Translucent and transparent
And here there is room for fantasy to run wild. The material can even be organza and the finest mesh materials. Below is a matching top. Can combine chiffon and silk of different densities. It will be good if it is partially disguised by the decor.
Appliqués in tone are interesting; animalistic and floral ones are the most popular. Any cut, even a regular shirt. It is better to combine it with strict elements, because such a blouse in itself is quite a bright accent.
Ribbon scarf
It seems this style has always been popular. A ribbon scarf will perfectly highlight a graceful neck and fragile shoulders. It is desirable that the product be made of light material - thin satin, chiffon, silk, satin, viscose.
You can tie ribbons in different ways:
- strict bow;
- light loose knot;
- bow decorated with a brooch;
- if the ribbons are long enough, you can wrap them around your neck once and leave the ends free;
- add contrasting ribbons - black, pink or even woven laces - this idea was actively exploited by designers, judging by the latest shows;
- loose, untied ribbons, either long or short.
Deep neckline
Low-necked options may have long flared sleeves and flounces. The fabrics are light.
There may be an element of slight negligence and lightness.
Unlike outdated low-cut styles, the current ones do not look vulgar, because they do not emphasize the breasts too deliberately and do not involve wearing a bra.
The neckline may even be below chest level. The main thing is that in general it does not look ridiculous and provocative. Get inspired by design solutions.
“Bishop sleeve” and cuffs with ornament
For holidays. Such models speak for themselves, so choose neutral clothing items and accessories for them.
Straight cut
Finally, let's come to the most universal, classic and, at the same time, elegant - straight cut. There should be at least one such blouse in the collection; it will become the basis for many outfits. Choose wisely.
What are the criteria?
Thick fabric, impeccable fit, correctly designed patterns, even stitches.
Just like on linen, you definitely shouldn’t skimp on this item. He will always help you out, and you will forget about the phrase “nothing to wear.” Classic trousers with a high or low waist, Bermuda shorts (incredibly relevant for several seasons, by the way), absolutely any jeans and skirts, completely different shoes.
A quality white straight cut blouse is a great investment.
Cutouts along the sleeves
This also includes a thin, piquant cutout along the back. From one angle it is noticeable, from another it is not. Longitudinal holes along the moderately loose sleeves look stern, sexy, and evening-style.
Accessorize with a closed bottom, sleek hair, a clutch and pointed-toe shoes. The image of the lady fatale is ready.

Casual look with a white blouse
Want to make your everyday outfit more sophisticated? To do this, just replace ordinary T-shirts and tops with a fashionable white blouse, which is suitable for creating an image for a date, shopping or just a walk around the city.
[adv-2]
Can't part with your favorite jeans? Wear the blouse with boyfriend jeans and suede boots or classic pumps. The shirt does not need to be tucked in completely; you can casually hook only the edge or leave it untucked. The white top goes well with the blue shades of the jeans, and the overall look is subtle. In the cold season, this outfit is complemented with a loose-fitting sweater worn over a blouse.
A blouse in tandem with skirts of various lengths and shapes looks no less attractive. A colored bell skirt is combined with a snow-white, non-voluminous top, the blouse should be tucked into the skirt, and the waist should be decorated with a wide belt. For this look, a sleeveless or 3/4 sleeves model is suitable.
A fashionable white blouse can also be worn with shorts. Complete the set with a chunky knit cardigan for an edgy look.
How to choose
Rely primarily on what products you already have in your wardrobe. You shouldn’t buy things that go with a minimum of clothing or don’t go with anything at all. In other words, practice smart shopping principles.
What do you definitely not need to choose?
- Avoid white classic blouses with a fitted cut that fit exactly to your figure, with lots of darts. Such models look extremely irrelevant and can ruin the entire image.
- Decor in the form of embroidery. A few years ago, embroidery on a white shirt was an undeniable trend, but today this technique has become boring and does not correspond to modern fashion trends.
- Partially or completely made of guipure. Unlike trendy models, these look tasteless and even vulgar.
- An abundance of decorative elements, including rhinestones.
- Peplum, out of place lace (especially black), etc.
- The glory of fabric chokers has already faded, although they sometimes appear on the catwalk.
Today there are fitted blouses, but they look completely different from the old-fashioned models with darts.
Styles
A wide selection of blouse models will help make your image bright and recognizable. A well-chosen product will become the basis of a certain style.
- Classical
Distinctive features of a classic blouse are a turn-down collar, a fitted silhouette and natural fabric. These models do not have pockets. Usually the fastener is buttons; in extreme cases, it can be hidden zippers or hooks.

For military style, blouses without decorative elements are used. Color palette - black, brown, beige, khaki. Cufflinks, buttons and pockets are used for decoration. A stand-up collar is required. Blouses are often worn tucked into jeans or skirts. Despite its severity, a military-style blouse, when skillfully combined with a bottom, shoes and accessories, is used for walks, the office or special occasions.
- Country
Country style blouses will help you immerse yourself in a simple and natural environment. Natural fabrics, loose fit, woven lace, hand embroidery and pastel colors will support the rural motif. In such models, the emphasis is usually on the waist. Accessories made of wood, leather or metal will complement the look.

The color range is dominated by pastel colors - pink, peach, blue, light green, cream, etc. Lace collars, flounces and bows are appropriate.

Tips for Plus-size
You shouldn’t pay attention to the fitted cut options; they obviously won’t produce a good effect. If there are areas that you would like to hide, you should choose a straight line.
Materials fit differently on the body. To hide imperfections, it is advisable to use denser ones - cotton and linen.
When you want lightness, choose silk, but not fitted models, but loose ones.
Plus-size girls often have problems with their upper arms. In order not to emphasize them once again, you can choose a model with ¾ sleeves rather than completely open your arms. This will make the appearance more harmonious.
We also remember that patch pockets, ruffle decor and other voluminous elements visually make a full figure more massive. Better add volume where it is lacking. For example, in case of disproportion: a thin “bottom” and an impressive “top” or vice versa.
Be careful when choosing the size. Plump and curvy girls often cannot choose the right size - sometimes it doesn’t fit on the chest, sometimes it’s too narrow in the shoulders, etc. We are all very individual, and the patterns on which clothes are made often correspond not to the features of the figure of real girls, but not to nymphs from magazine covers.
So, a product in a certain size can fit perfectly, but bulge on the chest.
Or it fits perfectly along the shoulders, but is too loose in the waist and chest area. Unfortunately, such defects are very noticeable and make the image look sloppy.
If possible, have your blouses tailored to your body shape at a tailor shop.
And one more important detail that many people forget about. The width of the collar should match: the larger the woman, the wider the collar. In practice, you will see that following this rule greatly helps to balance the image and make it more harmonious.
For a walk, meeting friends
A combination of a blouse with ruffles and denim will be successful. This could be a straight knee-length denim skirt or distressed jeans with casual slits. For a long walk, it is better to choose low-heeled shoes or white sneakers to look like a French girl. For going to a cafe or attending an event, wear colored pumps with heels.
Alternative: wear a white blouse with very long sleeves (new trend) and a bright top.
Variety of materials
If you need a classic men's cut shirt, choose dense materials, preferably natural ones: cotton, linen. Such models must keep their shape well, otherwise the item will look unpresentable.
Lighter materials - silk, viscose, modal, satin, polyester are ideal for “flying”, loose products. Choose your fabrics carefully.
Cheap materials can ruin the entire look if they do not fit the figure correctly and produce the desired effect.
How to choose a bottom for a white blouse
A white blouse is a universal thing. It can be combined with almost any item from your wardrobe. But if not with any, then 70% of clothes can definitely be combined well.
As we have already said, with the help of a simple white shirt they create casual, festive, and business looks. Depending on what style you prefer or what would be appropriate in a particular situation, choose the appropriate bottom. You can combine this item with jeans of any cut, skirts, be it pencil or mini, classic trousers or shorts.
White goes with everything. Black, gray or brown add rigor and elegance to the look. Red, blue, yellow - make the bow more noticeable, attractive and bright.
What to wear with
This is the most versatile item in your wardrobe. Add a few items and you get a whole capsule. It is good because it helps to create completely diverse images.
More classic options - strict, tailored in a masculine style - “love” accessories. A chain with unusual links, large earrings, a watch: all this will add special chic if used in moderation.
Today, sporty chic dominates, and therefore we cannot refuse the combination of classic or romantic things and sports elements.
A common pattern: a loose blouse, jeans and pumps. Accessorize with a small, contrasting, solid, rectangular handbag and you'll be a real eye-catcher.
For elegant evening outfits, a trouser suit with a translucent blouse in combination with pumps with a v-neck is perfect.
For example, it looks fresh with red or white high-waisted trousers if you're tired of black. The same can be said about skirts: a red midi will perfectly complement your outfit.
How to choose blouse fabric?
The fabric for the blouse is selected based on the purposes for which it will be used. Satin models look luxurious and are worn for parties or social events. Then it is appropriate to use blouses with guipure. Expensive and finicky brocade is used for sewing weekend, stage and formal items.
Delicate and soft viscose is ideal for everyday items. Stay comfortable all day long in cotton and linen blouses. All of these options are appropriate for an office environment, as is rayon.
A thin and translucent organza blouse emphasizes the oriental style. To match the feminine, delicate and sophisticated look, chiffon models are used.
