A blouse is a type of women's upper body garment that is typically loose-fitting and designed to be worn untucked over pants or skirts. Blouses can be made from a variety of materials, including cotton, silk, and polyester, and can range from casual to formal styles. They often feature buttons or snaps for closure and can have different necklines, such as crew, V-neck, or scoop, as well as sleeves that can be short, long, or sleeveless. Blouses can be dressed up or down and are versatile enough to be worn in a variety of settings, from the office to a night out. They are a staple piece in many women's wardrobes and can be paired with a range of bottoms, from jeans to skirts, to create a stylish and complete outfit.
