Therefore, we bring to your attention a targeted review of the most interesting blouses and fashion trends of the current year!
Models
There are so many styles and types of modern women's blouses that it is simply impossible to list them all. Therefore, we consider the most trendy options. In addition to traditional blouses, original models are relevant today.
American
A blouse with the same name is a sleeveless model, popularized in the 50s of the twentieth century by the film star Marilyn Monroe. Today, when many fashionable elements from different retro epochs become actual trends, “American” is a great way to emphasize your femininity.
Such blouses can be a straight, fitted or loose silhouette. The collar is performed in different variations: turn-down, stand, metal mold, jabot, bow collar. An American blouse is good for both business style and 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 in the oriental style. A modern kimono blouse has loose one-piece sleeves, usually длиной long, with no cuffs on. Waistline - traditional or overpriced. Buttons or zipper are missing, the neck - the usual or "boat." The classic length is mid-thigh, but modern models are also found in shorter variations.
Such blouses were originally made of natural silk fabrics and decorated with painting and embroidery. Therefore, traditional kimono always have a satin texture and are rarely performed in a single-color version.
Off shoulder
This blouse is ideal for creating a romantic look. Suitable slim girls who want to emphasize their sexuality. To bare beautiful shoulders or bulging clavicles is a trend of modern times.
Most often, blouses with a lowered shoulder have straight or bulk short sleeves. They are sewn from airy light fabrics that flirty down coquettishly. Their length is usually classic or shortened, there are also longer models. They can be as minimalistic as they have a lot of decorative elements, for example, ruffles, lace trim, etc.
Bare shoulders
This model can be called an enhanced version of the previous one. Even more outspoken, even more seductive.
Since the blouse with open shoulders is a visualization of a gentle and romantic image, you should choose this model in a bright version.
The gentle scale will look very advantageous with things from denim, whether it be jeans or a skirt. Such blouses often have voluminous sleeves, so the balance with the ensemble should be maintained: excessive volume in the lower part of the order will be useless here.
On one shoulder
Another seductive model. A blouse that reveals one shoulder, as well as the two options described above, is a great base for a romantic summer look. The fabric can be both airy and more rigid. Sleeve length is any: from the shortest to the length of the whole 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 monochrome variants, but also to models with embroidery or beading, ribbons, etc.
With a yoke
This 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 daily activities (shopping, meeting friends, etc.).
Only her color and style will adapt to the situation. This may be a strict shirt or a romantic blouse made of fine light fabric, the color range is from classical to the use of stylish prints and bright colors.

Types of cuts
