With the approach of spring, we increasingly often have new desires, aspirations, dreams. I would like to change something in life, and above all, you need to revise your wardrobe. And, perhaps, it is worth starting with blouses - as the most popular item of clothing.

Until recently, blouses were considered an integral part of formal business style. Modern fashion involves their use not only in a pair with classic skirts or trouser suits, but also with ordinary jeans, which does not prevent women from feeling bright, stylish and modern.

In the spring of 2016, blouses with various decorative elements, such as all kinds of frills, intricate collars, bows, and corrugated inserts, will look fashionable.

A distinctive feature of the upcoming season can be safely called asymmetric jabots, basques and flounces, located along silhouette lines and adding incredible femininity to the products.

Blouses made of translucent fabrics will attract particular attention. The presence of lantern sleeves will give them a special elegance, leaving the silhouette semi-fitted. For formal meetings, it is preferable to wear blouses in conservative shades.

For any party, items made of fabrics of gold or silver tones will certainly be the most suitable. Lace blouses look the most pretentious, promising to become an unsurpassed hit of the upcoming season.

The blouse, made of an unimaginable combination of black lace with mesh of the same shade, made an indelible impression not only on modern fashionistas, but also on their fans.

In the upcoming season, blouses made of a wide variety of materials will be fashionable. The most popular prints include a strip that will adorn satin blouses and a cage.

Blouses with contrasting ornaments, as well as fabulous prints and unique patterns are considered to be an exclusive feature of spring 2016.

By following our recommendations and the cry of the latest fashion, you will definitely manage to create the image that will make you feel like a goddess.

Off shoulder

We can definitely say that things with bare shoulders, be they dresses, tops or blouses, are the main trend of the upcoming summer season. Feminine and sexy, off-the-shoulder shirts look more innocent than neckline shirts, but they are no less attractive. You can wear this style of blouse with anything from loose boyfriend jeans to chaste midi skirts. Pay attention to denim models, as well as things in pastel shades, complemented by delicate ruffles and frills. By the way, large earrings or necklaces will look especially advantageous in combination with open shoulders and collarbones.

Floral print

The most relevant print for fashionable blouses 2016 is flowers, both small and large. Pay attention to the small flowered shirts that button up right under the throat. These retro blouses are experiencing a rebirth. Floral shirts can be used to create a variety of trendy looks, such as boho. Feminine print will make you more sensual and romantic, so this blouse is the perfect choice for a first date.

70s style

The 70s are not losing ground yet, so fashionable blouses in this style will find their place in the wardrobe in spring 2016. Thanks to the restrained, muted shades and geometric print, these shirts fit well with business looks, especially in combination with a pencil skirt and high-waisted trousers ... For an evening look, chiffon models with a voluminous bow are suitable, and for everyday wear - striped shirts with a stand-up collar.

Translucent

Mesh and transparent inserts look very impressive, but you need to be careful with such things so as not to look too vulgar and defiant. Choose closed cuts in delicate light shades of noble ivory or baked milk. In summer 2016, trendy mesh blouses are best paired with more discreet items, such as sporty shoes instead of heeled sandals.

In linen style

If you still haven't dared to walk the streets in a pajama suit or a slip dress, try at least a blouse. When paired with jeans or shorts, a loose-fitting silk shirt won't feel too much like pajamas. But it will be convenient for you. Maybe a little more, and you will decide to put on a complete set

A blouse is a versatile wardrobe item that acts as a base for creating fashionable images. A blouse of any style goes well with both, and adds variety to the strict office dress code. A blouse in a classic color (black, white, blue, red) will match a high-waisted pencil skirt and will be the perfect solution for an elegant office bow. And wearing a blouse with leather or tweed shorts, you can safely go to the club or to a party. In the current fashion season, designers offer so many options that any fashionista will find a blouse to her taste and easily fit it into her wardrobe. Let's consider the main trends in more detail!

Fashionable colors and prints

There are so many different colors in the collections that it will not be difficult to choose a blouse to match your face. All shades of blue, rich reds, deep oranges, mustard yellows, dark greens and delicate peach blouses are in favor. The current color of Marsala did not go unnoticed by fashion houses. The most stylish multicolored blouses were shown at the shows by the designers of the houses Emilio Pucci and Donna Karan.

In 2016, there is no need to be afraid of bright colors - especially blue

Lovers of classics can safely wear blouses in black or white - this is what the designers of fashion houses Valentino, Michael Kors and Oscar de la Renta insist on, demonstrating once again that classics are out of fashion and competition.

White blouses are still a staple of a business wardrobe.

Among the current prints, one can note the plant theme, geometry (first of all, it is a blue-green check and various stripes) and animalistic patterns, which stubbornly do not give up their positions. If you have blouses with a leopard or zebra print - consider that you are at the height of fashion trends. Small drawing in the form of birds, fish and other cute animals is also in trend.

In the new year, prints are encouraged not only with flowers, but also with animals!

It is worth noting the fact that floral prints are not always easy to fit into a business wardrobe, however, they are simply created for romantic bows. This trend was supported by Rodarte, Carven and Roberto Cavalli.

Actual fabrics

Classic knitted blouses are presented in almost all collections of 2016, however, fashion forces designers to include rather provocative models from leather, suede and latex in the shows, and sometimes complement the simplicity of the style with a rich sheen of lurex. You can't put on such a blouse in the office, but for a shocking exit to a party or club, this wardrobe item will become truly indispensable.

Shiny fabrics are the number one trend for evening looks

In the collections from Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Dolce Gabbana and Rome Acre, there is a noticeable predominance of blouses made of transparent silk, weightless chiffon, the finest lace and mesh. Models often show transparent blouses without underwear, but in ordinary life, girls are unlikely to dare to repeat such an exit. As a result, do not forget the main rule of the ideal style: we wear either a low-contrast top or beige underwear under a transparent blouse.

Transparent blouses - extreme fashion trend of 2016

Best of all, such blouses look with a bottom in the form of classic trousers or a pencil skirt, as well as in combination with strict jackets - it is customary to muffle overt sexuality nowadays. Well, the designers made the evening versions of blouses from satin, organza and velvet - expensive fabrics are always relevant.

Decor elements

The emphasis in winter shows is made on ties and scarves

• Designers complement the strict options for blouses with narrow ties and bow ties.
• Frill turned out to be at the peak of popularity again, which gives any blouse a festive look and brings some flirty primness to the image.
• Embroidery and large applique work did not stand aside.
• Boho style brought fringe trim to this wardrobe element.
• Contrasting collars, richly decorated with rhinestones or beaded embroidery, returned to fashion. Feel free to get the already hidden detachable collars - they are in trend again!

Frill, lace and ruffles in the new year come in handy!

• Anna Sui insists on the return of ethnic motives, abundantly decorating blouses with sewing in the style of the peoples of Scandinavia.
• Roberto Cavalli, in his shows, takes us back to the seventies, offering options with bows and neck ribbons, made in shades that contrast with the color of the blouse.
• Gucci does not lag behind this trend, however, a lush bow on the neck in this case completely repeats the texture and color of a classic blouse.

Fashion sleeve

The most fashionable version of the sleeve in this fashionable season was its absence. This trend can be traced literally in everything - from jackets to fur coats, so blouses have also undergone changes. Most often, designers demonstrate sleeveless blouses in a laconic cut and decor, so it will not be difficult to fit them into a basic wardrobe. Sleeveless jackets are suggested to be worn with trousers of classic styles or with tapered high-waisted models.

Sleeveless blouses are presented by almost all fashion houses

Fashionable asymmetry has reached this segment of clothing - for an evening out, you can choose a spectacular blouse on one shoulder, which will add an element of fragility and defenselessness to your image. A bustier model is always attractive, but remember that such an outfit must be balanced with a rather strict bottom so that the image remains stylish, but not vulgar.

The other extreme of 2016: if there are sleeves, they will be puffy

Romantic natures can choose the option with voluminous lantern sleeves. This type of sleeve has undergone some changes and is now made from the most unusual materials. So, the designers of Rim Acra made the sleeves from the fur that is actual this season. Such a blouse will perfectly revive the everyday look and will become the highlight of the evening out.

Trendy fit

Freedom of movement and flying styles are in vogue, so oversize is not losing ground in this segment of clothing. In the fall and winter of 2016, designers invite us to wear both loose styles and interesting layered blouses that hide women's curves.

Oversized blouses and sweaters give the feminine image a special comfort

We are glad to inform the supporters of classic styles that your favorite strict blouse will remain at the height of fashion. Many designers, including those in the houses of Carven and Albert Feretti, do not refuse classic fitted cut blouses in their collections.

If jackets and coats are needed in the cool season, then we always need blouses, both in the summer and winter seasons. And before you put on a jacket, you need to look for a suitable blouse that will go well with skirts and trousers from your wardrobe.

What blouses will be in fashion in 2016-2017?

The first thing I would like to draw your attention to is that in the new season, many blouse models have a rather restrained character, despite the fact that there are flounces, ruffles, bows and bows that pretend to be coquettish. But the cut and even individual details of the blouse necessarily emphasize some severity. Look at the models Alexis Mabille, Anthony Vaccarello, Daks and you will see.

Blouses 2016-2017 - fashion trends

Alexis Mabille is a strict-cut blouse in which a lace ruffle around the stand-up collar is a delicate decoration that emphasizes femininity.

Another fashionable blouse Alexis Mabille of the same shirt cut without a collar. Here, the sleeves emphasize the severity of a masculine blouse, the highlight is the flounce of the same fabric, which pretends more for a wide collar.

Anthony vaccarello

Anthony Vaccarello is a blouse made of thin transparent fabric, in which there is both coquetry and seduction. However, the tailored fit and large patch pockets that hide everything that needs to be hidden, underline its understated character.

Burberry is a beautiful dense fabric with a floral silver print, but the cut again speaks of severity.

Daks - a white shirt-cut blouse - a very laconic cut. The model is decorated with a flirty black bow with a brooch and vertical ruffles along the fastener, which allow this blouse to be worn as an elegant one, although it will look dignified and noble in a casual version.

There are a lot of blouse models, but in many of them, in addition to a flirty bow or ruffle, the silhouette of a man's shirt can be traced. A white men's shirt has long settled in every girl's wardrobe, because it has not gone out of fashion for many seasons. If it is not there, you definitely need to hurry to buy, this is an important fashion trend in blouses.

A white shirt of the most laconic cut can be decorated with any bow to match the color of a skirt or trousers, secured with a brooch or supplemented with a large lace collar, or you can simply sew a flounce or buttons in a contrasting color, and collect a whole flock of butterflies from colored crystals ...

The designers have not forgotten about those girls who, despite various fashion trends, always remain in their romantic style. Therefore, blouses with flounces and ruffles are definitely considered in the new season. Of the whole variety of models, it should be noted that flounces in blouses take up a lot of space, since designers offer large flounces in the new season that create a large volume.

Blouses are a wardrobe item that can be easily adapted to modern fashion trends, even if you take out the blouse that you have been unclaimed for too long from your wardrobe.

For example, choose a beautiful belt to match your trousers or skirt, attach a brooch or an artificial flower on a black ribbon, tie a scarf or tie around your neck, put on a thin turtleneck or top under your blouse, and finally, for a blouse of the simplest cut, choose a beautiful skirt. If you turn on your imagination, then blouses that have been in the closet for a long time will please you again.

Blouses, tunics, tops - these are items that are simply necessary in every woman's wardrobe. A beautiful fashionable blouse will make your, even the most ordinary, suit smart. A chiffon fluttering tunic will accentuate the spring mood. A well-chosen top is the most current piece of summer clothing. What are they like in the new warm season?

A blouse in a classic style will never leave a women's wardrobe, and therefore we will say about it among the first models that are at the peak of the popularity of the new season. Classic style is always simple, elegant, and therefore beautiful. If you are at a loss as to how to sew a blouse, if you see a lot of flaws in your figure (almost everyone has them), then choose the classic style and sew from expensive fabric. The classic style allows decorative elements - such as bows, frills, flounces or ruffles, but in moderation.

Blouses in the spring and summer of 2016 are made looser and more voluminous in the chest and waist, with bare shoulders, with deep cuts of various shapes. The sleeves in the blouse are almost the most important element. And therefore, in the 2016 blouse models, the designers considered a wide variety of options. There are very long sleeves that cover the hands, and voluminous wide sleeves with slits, "lanterns", one-piece, flared and many other options.

The most common fashionable cut of blouses, tunics and tops is the "Angelica" cut with bare shoulders. These models have sleeves ranging from short to long. Moreover, long sleeves are most often wide and spacious, gathered near the wrist or on the shoulder line. Such blouses or tunics look voluminous. Particularly large volume is given by the sleeve, which is cut with a lowered armhole and a lowered shoulder seam. One of the varieties of such models is the asymmetric model.

This cut will undoubtedly suit a young and slender girl of tall stature, but a girl of small stature or with curvaceous forms needs to approach this option more carefully so that in one case she does not decrease her height, and in the other does not look bulky. Choosing the Angelica neckline, choose beautiful strapless underwear.

There are many models that are completely missing any assemblies, and the volume is minimized, but the same bare shoulders. These models fit the figure and look in a style close to the classic, where there is nothing superfluous, but there is only elegance.

One of the trends in blouse models can be considered a model - an interpretation of a shirt and a blouse of folk costumes, in which the neck is gathered with a drawstring and a lace, braid or elastic band, which forms a “drop” neckline in the front or creates a drapery on the chest.

A tunic is a one-piece front piece of clothing with or without sleeves, the length may vary, but always below the hip line. And in order to better represent the tunic, remember the ancient Greek tunic, which was worn by both men and women, it was he who became the prototype of the tunic, however, at first the ancient Roman one.

The tunic often appears in fashion collections. The gathering at the waist line can be with a drawstring and a drawstring or a belt. The tunic goes well with jeans. Who should wear a tunic?
