Design and decor
All the variety of existing styles of chiffon blouses can be divided into several categories. Each of them has its own distinctive characteristics. The main criterion is the occasion when this or that model is worn:
- In a business style. A jabot collar, shirt design, and a long-sleeved model will emphasize the confidence and seriousness of a business woman.
- Evening option. Mainly thick crepe-chiffon is used. Bare shoulders, stand-up collar, flounces accentuate the individuality and mystery of the image.
- Summer blouses. This season they are presented in calm tones, which are gradually replacing bright colors. Styles with short sleeves or without them at all are considered relevant. In terms of length, both short options and tunics are appropriate. The cut is mostly free, flowing.
Regardless of the style, decorative elements are always in demand. They are what turn a product into a unique work of art, creating a feminine image. In the case of chiffon blouses, ribbons, bows, guipure stripes and ruffles are most often used. They harmoniously complement the lightweight material. For a more extravagant image, you can dilute the plain fabric with rhinestones and pearls. Modest individuals are recommended to use a beautiful brooch.
Stylish combinations
The advantage of fashionable chiffon blouses is that they go well with all wardrobe items. The main condition is a well-chosen model. For a business style, it is better to opt for a combination with a medium-length straight-cut skirt or classic trousers. The blouse can be tucked in or worn over it, complemented by a neat belt. For everyday wear, it is recommended to choose comfortable models. Classic beautiful jeans will look good with a colored blouse. When going on a date, you should pay attention to light tight trousers, a skirt in combination with an airy blouse with lace decor.
In summer, the best option for the bottom is short shorts. Made of denim, they will harmonize with a plain chiffon blouse with short sleeves. But if you use trousers, shorts or a skirt in classic, subdued shades, you can experiment with patterns and prints in the upper part of your wardrobe. The main condition is not to forget about the rule of three colors.
Helpful tips for choosing
When choosing a suitable model, the characteristics of the material should be taken into account. Since chiffon does not stretch, fitted lightweight models should have a fastener. In addition, they must be the perfect size. Otherwise, the fabric will highlight all the flaws of the figure, the blouse will look ridiculous.
It is more practical to choose universal women's models of a free cut without complex decor. In this case, there will be no problems when combining with other wardrobe items. The exception is the fair sex with narrow shoulders and wide hips. The presence of voluminous decorations in the upper part of the blouse will add harmony to the image.
An important parameter is the degree of transparency. When trying on a blouse, you should examine yourself carefully. After all, not every lady will feel comfortable and confident wearing transparent outfits. In this case, it is recommended to choose a crepe-chiffon blouse or wear a tank top with straps underneath.
