Each stylish woman has at least one blouse in her wardrobe. This is a basic thing, which is at the same time simple, elegant and universal. But in the variety of models presented today, you can just get lost. Therefore, we offer you a targeted overview of the most interesting blouses and fashion trends this year!
Models
There are so many styles and varieties of modern women's blouses that it is simply impossible to list all of them. Therefore, we consider the most trending options. In addition to traditional blouses, original models are relevant today.
American
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 fashionable elements from different retro eras become current trends, “American” is a great way to emphasize your femininity.
Such blouses can be straight, fitted or loose silhouette. The collar is made in different variations: turndown, stand, chillier, frill, bow collar. An American blouse is good both for business style and for a romantic look.
An American can be decorated with flounces and ruffles, and can have such strict elements as patch pockets or decorative buttons.
Kimono
This model is a fashion trend for oriental style. A modern kimono blouse has loose one-piece sleeves, usually длиной long, on which there are no cuffs. Waistline - traditional or high.Buttons or lightning are absent, the neck is plain or “boat”. The classic length is up to the middle of the thigh, but modern models are also found in shortened variations.
Such blouses were originally made from natural silk fabrics and decorated with painting and embroidery.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 monophonic version.
Flat shoulder
This blouse is ideal for creating a romantic look. Suitable for slender girls who want to emphasize their sexuality. To bare beautiful shoulders or bulging collarbones is a modern trend.
Most often, blouses with a lowered shoulder have straight or voluminous shortened sleeves. They are sewn from airy light tissues, which coquettishly fall down. Their length is usually classic or shortened, there are longer models. They can be either minimalistic or have a lot of decorative elements, for example, ruffles, lace trim, etc.
Bare shoulders
This model can be called a reinforced version of the previous one. Even more frank, even more seductive.
Since a blouse with bare shoulders is a visualization of a gentle and romantic image, it is worth choosing this model in a light version.
The delicate range will look very advantageous with denim items, be it jeans or a skirt. Such blouses often have voluminous sleeves, so the ensemble should be balanced with them: excessive volume in the lower part of the outfit will be useless here.
On one shoulder
Another seductive model. A blouse that exposes one shoulder, as well as the two options described above, are a great basis for a romantic summer look. The fabric can be either airy or stiffer. Sleeve length is any: from the shortest to the length of the entire arm.
In this case, the sleeve itself can be simple or end with a cuff. Ruffles, shuttlecocks, bows - any such decoration is appropriate here. It is worth paying attention not only to monophonic options, but also to models with embroidery or beading, ribbons, etc.
With a yoke
Such a blouse can be of any style: with a short or long sleeve, 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 activities (shopping, meeting friends, etc.).
Only the color and style will adapt to the situation. It can be a simple shirt or a romantic blouse made of thin light fabric, colors - from classic to the use of stylish prints and bright colors.
On the elastic band below
Such blouses are worn over the head and have either a wide neck or a short fastener reaching to the chest.
The most spectacular models are with a bat sleeve, classic or 3/4, and also with similar elastic bands in the cuffs.
Such blouses can be not only from traditional fabrics (light, airy, translucent), but also from thin knitwear or thick cotton. The length of such blouses varies from traditional to increased (to the middle of the thigh).
Cutout Types
The way the cutout on the blouse should be depends on its style. So, a business blouse suggests the presence of a collar - a stand, a 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 this, of course, blouses with a V-neck!
Modern models allow a different depth and angle of the neck in the form of a "V", but any such blouse will look extremely stylish and relevant.
Sleeve types
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:
- shirt (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 (a magnificent sleeve due to a wide cut and cuffs on an elastic band);
- flashlight sleeve (very voluminous and short, ends with a narrow cuff);
- bat (very wide from the shoulder, sharply narrowing from the elbow to the wrist);
- gutter (very narrow, fits tightly on the arm);
- kimono (very wide, without cuffs, loose fit);
- bell (long, wide, flared down);
- wing (very short and adjacent sleeve - when the sleeves seem to be cut off);
- petal (length ¼, but covers only the shoulder, and the axillary remains naked);
- with a cut (may be a traditional length or ¾, the incision extends along the outside of the sleeve).
Decor
Among all the possible ways to decorate clothes today, it should be noted several particularly popular decorative elements that are found on women's blouses.
Bow. It is found as a sewing option, which has an exclusively decorative function, but no less common are models whose gates end with two wide ribbons tied with a bow. Here, decoration also plays a practical role.
Frill. The collar with this finish is very original, but at the same time it is universal. Suitable for women of fashion of any age and style, appropriate in almost any situation.
Embroidery. An element actively used by designers in recent years. Most embroidered blouses come in ethnic or oriental style.
In addition, stylists have a lot of other decorative means:
- patch collars;
- ties or butterflies;
- fringe;
- stripes and appliqués;
- buttons or zippers on the back, etc.
Length
In this category, a variety of models of blouses also does not slow down. Four general groups can be distinguished:
Long. More appropriate in an informal setting, as they are not combined with a strict manner at all. They can be plain or covered with interesting prints, transparent or from dense fabrics. This model can be considered beyond age, although today young fashionistas gravitate to it more than ladies of respectable years.
Long blouse options that can reach the knee are especially relevant. They are also characterized by an asymmetric cut and other bold design experiments.
Medium. The classics of the genre are models of standard length. It is found in strict office blouses, and in frivolous romantic models, and in copies of an unusual cut. This length is suitable for everyone. The main thing is a well-chosen bottom.
Short. Option for the young, slim and courageous. Short blouses can barely cover the navel or even bare it. Such models are available on an elastic band below or on ties. A shortened version is also possible, which repeats the classical model (except for the length).
With a train. Asymmetry, turned into a classic. This fashionable lengthening of blouses in the back has ceased to be a novelty and has become commonplace. Now every modern girl should have in her wardrobe a blouse of a classic cut at first glance cut, but with a train at the back.
Most often, models with a train are made of translucent fabric, they do not have sleeves, and the collar is necessarily decorated with something (beads, rivets, etc.).

In the upper part of the blouse there can be decorative elements (lace, beads, embroidery, leather applications, etc.).
Business style is a white and black duet from a simple blouse and corset. The option for the party is translucent fabrics and styles that open the back.
