Trendy Blouse Designs:
- Tassels: Blouses with tassels add a romantic and fun touch to any outfit. You can opt for long fringe tassels from the neckline to the waist for a flapper girl vibe that will move elegantly as you dance. To tone down the look, you can add tassel details on the hemline or sleeves.
- Knots And Bows: Tie-up details with statement bows at the centre back or the front waistline are among the top trends. You can also opt for thin ties that crisscross at the front and tie up in the back to add definition to your upper body.
- Sweetheart Neckline: A sweetheart neckline creates a heart shape at the bust, making your neck and torso look longer. They look most elegant with loose, off-the-shoulder sleeves, resembling royal gowns.
- Halter Neck: Halter neck blouses are great for pulling focus toward your arms and adding the illusion of broader shoulders. The style is also perfect if you want a sleeveless look without exposing the bust area.
- Pearls: Wear a blouse covered in pearls and no one will be able to take their eyes off you. Pearl-embellished white blouses look stunning with even simple white sarees. You can also wear them with fitted skirts for a mermaid aesthetic look.

- Bell Sleeves: Embody a fairy princess with whimsical bell sleeves that will move elegantly with your hands. As these sleeves cover most of your arm, adorn your fingers with rings and wrists with dainty bracelets to add bling instead of traditional bangles.
- Ruffles: If you love wearing sleeveless blouses but want to dress modestly for an event, opt for ruffles around the armband for the illusion of sleeves. This not only adds a refreshing silhouette but also adds volume to balance proportions.
- Sequins: From tiny discs to chunky glitter, sequined fabrics have been everywhere for the past few months and need no introduction. You can opt for sequined blouses with different clear, metallic, or iridescent finishes according to your preferences.
