Whether for work or casual, it is time to take the blouse collection to another level. Two sexy and unexpected fabrics to try now are sheer and silk. From the classic collared button-up to unique cuts, here are some options from our favorite chain and online stores:
I love the look of sheer tops in neutrals with a funky cami, or if you dare, I bright bra underneath. Here are two sheer (and on sale with free shipping) tops from ASOS you can wear for multiple occasions:
This black sheer oversized button-up is super sexy with skinny jeans leaving it loose or even tie in a knot at the waist. I think you could even mix trends with this top by tucking into a mini and letting it slip out of the bottom of the skirt. Even use it as a cover up on the beach, which is a fresh idea from the usual tunic.
The short-sleeve, button back top with lace detail comes in white or black. Both are sweet so there is no wrong choice. If you are not completely comfortable with the sheer shirt yet, go with the black option. The black still shows any color you decide to bare below, but still hides whatever part of yourself you want to keep to yourself.
I owed silk tops so many years ago and am so glad they are back in business! Urban Outfitters (find multiple locations in the District and surrounding metro area) has silk tops in a cool cuts and colors.
This more fitted, collarless silk shirt comes in many colors including some of this summer’s trendy bright hues including cobalt blue and the necessity neutrals. This could be worn for work or weekend.
Oversized is in right now and keeps our casual looks comfortable. This oversized silk top must be worn with fitted bottoms and unbuttoned a bit in order to make the vintage look more modern.
I believe both of these fabrics will stand the test of time, whether they stay in forever or come full circle years from now. The above options are just a few of the many sheer and silk shirts to choose from, so keep your eyes and closet doors open.
