Silk Blouse looks for different occasions

Do you already have a silk blouse in your closet, and you still don't know how to combine it? Or are you considering buying one for a special occasion? Here we will give you some basic ideas to create your outfits and end up with a total success.

Casual. Certainly, silk is a material that because of its characteristics is comfortable, not for nothing are made pajamas, sheets, etc. That is why, choosing a silk blouse for a casual look is not at all unreasonable, the ideal and the most common design is the v-neckline with lapels, the option to compliment would be one of the most common casual fabrics that is denim. You may choose jeans or shorts, despite wearing the garment with a glossy finish, the outfit will be balanced, it will not look formal and much less relaxed too much, make it or wear it loose. Add some ballerinas, sneakers, apartment sandals or if you are looking for a sexy touch opt for heeled sandals. 

Extra tip. As we already said, contrasting textures is not forbidden, on the contrary, the combination of linen and silk will give you a chic touch.

Cocktail. There are several designs among which you can choose a silk blouse for a more formal occasion, this is a matter of taste and style. One shoulder neckline, puffed sleeves, it's up to you. Whether you choose to compliment, a wide leg pants with a tweed print of a rigid material, or a midi skirt, to balance the fluidity of the blouse, this only if you are not a fan of baggy garments, if you like the idea that both pieces have similar falls and want to highlight your waist add accessories like belts, lean towards blouses that fit with bows or a crop style. Add heeled sandals or stilettos.

Special events. If it is an event, and you are opting for a two-piece look, tailored suits have proven to be suitable for special occasions such as weddings, we suggest you go for seasonal necklines such as a halter-neck, front ties or a v-neckline.
