Fluid blouses for women

A fluid top

The blouse differs from the shirt by its fluidity: made from lightweight materials that drape easily, it is often more loose-fitting, with feminine details like ruffles, pleats, tucks or detailed sleeves. It can be tucked into high-waisted trousers or a skirt to accentuate the waist, or worn over jeans for a more casual look. It transitions from the office to dinner depending on the fabric and accessories.

The shirts

Shirts and blouses are also available in:

• Shirts, which are more structured, with a collar and buttoned cuffs.

All tops are found on the shirts and blouses page.

The fluid fabrics

Viscose, a fibre derived from wood, soft and cool, with a lovely drape, is the most common fabric for blouses, like the COMMA in stretch viscose. Mousseline, a very light and slightly transparent fabric, like on the COMMA with ruffled sleeves, adds a touch of lightness; it's worn over a top. Satin, shiny and fluid, like the COMMA sleeveless blouse in satin viscose, is suitable for evening wear. Light cotton, from Armedangels, is perfect for everyday use.

Collars and sleeves

The details define the style of a blouse. The tunisian collar, round with a buttoned slit, like on the COMMA, is simple and elegant. The shirt collar, like on the s.Oliver, adds a more structured touch. Ruffled sleeves or ruffles, like on the Salsa Jeans, showcase femininity. Floral prints from KAFFE, Cream, and Desigual bring in some colour. Hand wash viscose blouses or use a delicate cycle in cold water, and iron on a low temperature, inside out.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a blouse and a shirt?

The blouse is made from a light, fluid fabric, often more spacious, with feminine details like ruffles or tucks. The shirt is more structured, with a collar and full buttoning.

How to wear a blouse at the office?

Tucked into high-waisted trousers or a straight skirt, under a blazer, the satin or mousseline blouse gives a polished look. A shirt collar or tunic collar remains discreet and professional.

Which blouse to choose in larger sizes?

A fluid blouse that drapes without clinging, with a V-neck or tunic collar, elongates the bust. Avoid bulky ruffles on the bust and prefer flared sleeves or three-quarter sleeves.

How to wash a viscose blouse?

Viscose shrinks at high temperatures: wash it by hand or on a delicate cycle in cold water, without strong spinning. Iron it at a low temperature, inside out, when it is still slightly damp.

How to match a ruffled blouse?

A ruffled blouse, like those from Salsa Jeans, balances with a simple bottom: straight jeans, cigarette trousers, or a plain skirt. Keep accessories discreet to let the ruffles stand out.
