How to wear an oversized blouse?

There are many ways to style a blouse, and the most obvious is to pair it with slim-fit or straight-leg pants or jeans. You can also add a belt to cinch the blouse at the waist for a more defined shape.

A fitted bottom balances out the volume of an oversized shirt blouse. However, current trends also embrace pairing loose-fit shirt blouses with baggy jeans or wide-leg pants - a look that remains on-trend season after season. You can choose to wear the blouse tucked in or left out, depending on your preference.

There are multiple ways to tuck a blouse into pants or a skirt, depending on the look you want to create. For a casual twist, try a half-tuck by tucking the front points of the shirt into your pants or skirt and leaving the back hanging out. You can tuck in one point for a subtle asymmetry or both for a relaxed vibe.

For a modern silhouette with volume, choose a blouse with extra-dropped shoulders and tuck it entirely into your pants or skirt. To emphasize your waist and elongate your legs, go for high-waisted jeans, pants, or skirts. Add a belt for a cinched waist to create an hourglass silhouette.

Layering an oversized blouse adds depth and versatility to your outfit. Style it with a cardigan, sweater, shacket, or blazer over the blouse. Or pair with a spaghetti top or bralette underneath, allowing a hint of lace to peek through for a subtle touch of femininity.

Other options include layering the blouse under a strapless top, vest, or open cardigan. For added versatility, wear a long blouse unbuttoned as a “coat” or “jacket” over pieces like a T-shirt, blouse, or vest. Play with tonal combinations for a cohesive look or create contrast with colors, textures, or lengths. Everything is possible!

The front button closure of a shirt blouse offers several styling possibilities. Keep all the buttons closed for a classic look, leave a few buttons open at the top and bottom for a relaxed vibe or wear the blouse completely open as a cover-up.

Another option is to tie the blouse at the front to pair with high-waisted jeans or skirts, or even to wear over a long dress. Pay attention to the blouse’s color or print, as this will define the overall look. A white blouse exudes classic, fresh minimalism, while bold colors or prints make a statement.

To tie your blouse: open a few buttons at the bottom and use the pointed ends of the hem to create a knot at the front. The higher you leave the buttons open, the higher the knot will sit at the waist.
