A sleeveless blouse is a versatile, timeless piece, that makes a great addition to any wardrobe and at the moment there's a plethora of different style to choose from, so if your closet is lacking one then now is the perfect time to fill that gap and I've sourced 6 fantastic options for you, below.
There's an option for all body shapes but if you're not too sure which one would suit you best, then fear not, I’ve highlighted which are best suited to which body shapes and have included few suggestions on how you might style them, too. Simply scroll down below the pictures to find out more and click the links to go directly to the shop so you can purchase! When my clients say I make shopping fun, easy, and stress free, they’re not telling porkies!
1. Sleeveless Ruffle Shirt - Marks and Spencer
My blouse is no longer available to purchase online so I've linked to the pink version instead. It's a great style for you if you're pear shaped, like me, and have narrow shoulders or a small bust. The ruffles are great for adding width to your shoulders and the high neck and pretty tie are so flattering when you're small up top! I don't need to tell you how to wear this one as it features in this weeks three ways to wear, but if you haven't had a chance to read it yet then pop over here.
2. Rebecca Taylor Sleeveless Floral Print Silk & Cotton Peplum Top - Nordstrom
If your shape is fairly straight up and down, you don't have a very defined waist, or you have narrow hips then this is the blouse for you! A peplum is a wonderful way to enhance your waist and give you curves but the great thing about this one is it's not too voluminous or stiff, as peplums often are, so it's perfect for both smart and casual occasions. Try it with a pencil skirt for the office and switch to a pair of high-rise skinny jeans and flat pointy pumps for home.
3. Solid Cascade Top - Banana Republic
This is such a chic style, the fabric has a lovely drape to it that looks just as great with wide leg cropped pants as it does with a pair of your favorite jeans. If you're busty this is a great option for you - the low neckline flatters by breaking up the line across your bust and the ruffles are loose enough that they won't add too much bulk.
4. Women's Kate Spade New York Ruffle Dot Silk Chiffon Top - Nordstrom
This pretty top is a great choice for most shapes - apple, pear, column, hourglass - you name it. The fabric is so beautifully sheer that the ruffles and bow won't add too much bulk but if you're worried about that, just loosely knot the neck-tie below the bust, or leave it undone all together. I love that it's sheer, but if you're nervous about wearing something so see-through, just add a lightweight, fitted camisole underneath it.
5. Moto Stripe Sleeveless Shirt - Topshop
This is a slightly more casual take on the blouse I featured this week, but it's still a great option for home and work. It will look fantastic worn with a pair of tailored, ankle cropped pants and metallic loafers. And will look just as great with a pair of cropped, embroidered jeans and booties
6. Star Print Blouse - Zara
This is another style that will suit most body types. It's versatile, like the other 5 blouses, and is super easy to wear. Team it with a leather look pleated skirt for work (yes, leather is fine for work), and loosely tuck it into a pair of gently worn boyfriend jeans at home!
Hopefully there's an option for you here, but if not, let's chat, I know I can find your perfect one!
