Wide-cut shirt blouses, fitted chiffon blouses with elegant frills or comfortable overblouses with sophisticated floral prints: blouses come in many different shapes and sizes and for many different occasions. There are office-friendly designs with a defined feminine, sophisticated cut, formal blouses as well as casual designs that are perfect for a weekend look. Whether it's loose, figure-skimming chiffon, fine embroidery or extravagant appliqués: details make the difference. At s.Oliver, you're sure to find a top that you love.
A casual pussycat bow blouse, a feminine Carmen blouse, blouses made of elegant chiffon and office-friendly shirt cuts: Anyone who has lots of blouse styles in their wardrobe to choose from is well equipped for any occasion. The blouse range from s.Oliver is broad, ensuring you can find something serious for the office, something fancy for your best friend’s wedding as well as something comfortable for everyday wear. All blouses have one thing in common: the cuts always look chic, they accentuate your feminine side and exude a touch of elegance.
Depending on fabric, cut, colour and pattern, blouses can also go well with another style. Wide oversized tops are really trendy and casual – perfect for casual looks. Blouses with colourful floral prints, distinctive check patterns or appliquéd patches ensure a varied look and can also work as an extravagant top for a party. In contrast, plain-coloured pieces in white or gentle pastel tones are more reserved. Embroidery, cut-outs, frilled trims and gemstones add sophistication. Chiffon and crêpe fabrics in a blouse stand for all-round elegance. A cotton shirt with a striped pattern on the other hand is perfect for the office. The cuts of sporty blouses are similar to the fit of a T-shirt. An overblouse is particularly suited to everyday wear.
And of course blouses go just as amazingly with a casual pair of skinny jeans or a smart mini skirt as they do with a trouser suit. The light and airy fabric makes them a particularly good choice for summer. But you don’t have to be without your beautiful blouses on cold days either. After all, a shirt collar poking up from underneath a cosy knitted jumper or warm cardigan is a very special detail.
Long sleeve blouses completely conceal your arms. Artificial silk and softly flowing viscose ensure that long sleeves are still comfortable to wear on warm days. The sleeves provide lots of space for pretty details. For instance, a classic shirt needs its sleeve cuffs. And casually tucked hems also have their appeal. Sleeve hems with embroidery or sequins look more feminine. On some models, the length can be adjusted. With turn-up sleeves, you can shorten the sleeves to a three-quarter length.
In the summer, short sleeve blouses are as cooling as a T-shirt, and a lot more elegant. A smart blouse in classic black looks amazing underneath a blazer. Combining it with a pencil skirt or a plain-coloured or checked pair of cloth trousers with pressed pleats creates a great business outfit. Blouses with a stand-up collar also have a serious touch. On the other hand, short sleeve blouses for women with a graphic pattern or colourful flowers as an all-over print are perfect for a walk on the promenade or Sunday brunch on the terrace.
The airier the better: sleeveless blouse tops are perfect tops for warm days. A deep V-neckline or cowl neckline add a very elegant touch. Cut-outs in the décolleté region, lace details and a collar accentuate the character of the blouse. Tops with gemstones or embroidery exude enough glamour to pull off an evening look too. A short blouse with a big impact: a tribal print or a pretty graphic pattern is sure to stand out of the crowd.
Tunics are much longer than most blouses and are more like a short dress. The loose cut makes a tunic a very comfortable choice of top. Button plackets usually have a purely decorative function, because chic blouses just have to be slipped on. Fitted tunics with crocheted borders have a very feminine look. Designs with trumpet sleeves are wonderfully hippiesque. These beautiful tunics go great with leggings and chinos.
Other long designs are also very trendy. Asymmetric models and oversized blouses are especially trendy right now. The wide cuts exude a casual charm. Long blouses in a boyfriend style worn with slim-fitting, figure-hugging trousers have a very chic look. They resemble classic men’s shirts. The masculine character is often underlined by collars, button-up cuffs, patch breast pockets and button plackets. At the same time, feminine details create a great contrast: the shirts are tighter, slightly fitted and accentuate the bust.
White shirts have proven themselves to be very adaptable. These all-rounders are always a good choice. After all, this classic piece can go with everything, be it a leather jacket, blazer, jeans or maxi skirt.
The diverse types of neckline can give the look an individual spin and accentuate specific aspects of your body. For instance, a scoop neckline accentuates the décolleté and suits a more square-shaped face type. Meanwhile, the horizontal emphasis of a bateau neckline has an optically broadening effect which suits narrow shoulders. And deep V-necklines make the upper body appear slimmer.
Alongside classic-cut, elegant blouses, sporty designs are also very popular. A long sleeve overblouse without a full-length button placket is as easy to slip on as a T-shirt and yet still boasts the fashionable attributes of a blouse. Short sleeve blouse tops are even more similar to the comfortable top.
