Confuse 'em With Patterns!

A wild pattern can act as camouflage and can sometimes allow just a bra underneath! Of course, to be safe - it's simple to slip on a neutral camisole or tank. Desk to Dinner. Work to Weekend. Blouses have you covered!

Coordinate With Trim!

Blouses that are trimmed with solid fabric beg for a coordinating camisole or tank to be worn underneath. Such an easy look! Here you see it with denim - but you can just as easily picture it with a great pencil skirt or a pair of black slacks, can't you?

Conservative With Flair!

Look sharp with all the details of a super-conservative shirt. Don't you think that this type of sheer blouse actually seems even more business like when it's buttoned all the way up? Pair it over a tube-dress (a.k.a. Koochie Kover), or under a blazer for coverage.

How to Wear Sheer Blouses

Sheer doesn't have to mean flimsy. A substantial silk can still hint at the skin below, but is opaque enough to wear to the office under a chic blazer paired with a skinny pant or leggings.

This versatile blouse can be worn desk to dinner and beyond! Chiffon blouses in prints are so hot this Fall. Pair it with your dress pants for work and jeans or shorts for the weekend and you’re good to go. These great chiffons are made to be worn with a tank or cami -- which allows you to change the look by changing the color you wear underneath! Believe it or not - the bows and ties at the neck are BACK in a big way, too!

Blouses are Going to be a HUGE TREND This Fall!

There is a HUGE trend for blouses this season. You'll see so many styles, so many colors, so many prints. Some have frills, lace, and ruffles. Others are in the extremely popular sheer fabrics. You'll see bold solids, unusual color block, and some in a more muted and soft color palette. There are INCREDIBLE prints, from florals to ethnic to animal to a mix of them all! We've even seen quite a few paisley prints reminiscent of the 1970's out there! Another BIG big trend leans toward blouses that are made to be left un-tucked, are comfortably fitted, can be worn with a jean, pant, skirt, or over one of our FAMOUS "koochie kovers"! That's probably the biggest trend out there! We love it and know you will, too! This year you will see so many blouse lengths, too. You'll see the more common "below the waist" length to the popular "boyfriend" tunic length...and everything in between. Color is all over the place...from vivid to muted. Check out this great blouse from Alberto Makali that we saw in Vegas last month. You'll see it at the Willow Tree this Fall! Wow, right?
