A white blouse

Modest, seductive, laid-back and elegant. This classic thing looks great with a skirt, and with strict trousers, and with jeans.

But the main thing is that he always presents his mistress in the best possible light ...
She should be in the wardrobe of every woman. At least one. White blouse is a classic model, which, despite its versatility, is often underestimated. She never goes out of style, because she fits any style and for any life situation. After all, perhaps, no other thing will be so appropriate for a business meeting, or for a visit to the future mother-in-law.
But despite the modesty of the white blouse, the woman does not look so seductive in anything else! And this is probably because the blouse does not reveal all the feminine charms at once ... The white blouse gives you the opportunity to be well-dressed without telling too much about yourself. It is the best option if you do not know what you have to do on that day, and a trip to the theater or restaurant is not ruled out. The best part is that by wearing it, you can no longer worry about your appearance.
The white blouse leads its ancestry from the men's shirt, which in the old days was worn only by aristocrats and rich. She was one of the symbols of their special status: they say that only those who do not have to get their hands dirty with work can wear a white shirt. Initially, shirts were worn and removed over the head.Only in the 19th century did they find a button closure. At the same time, shirts are becoming increasingly popular among women and are called "blouses". What is the difference between a man’s shirt and a woman’s blouse? Male models fasten on the right side, female models on the left. This fact has its own explanation: rich women used to be dressed as maids, and it was more convenient for them to fasten their blouses in this way, and men, as a rule, dressed themselves.
Women elevated a white blouse to the category of cult models along with a small black dress. If in the 1920s blouses were worn mainly by female secretaries, then later they began to wear famous movie actresses with pleasure: their intellectual Catherine Hepburn loved them, she looked amazingly sensual and sexy in a blouse with ruffles Brigitte Bardot, Uma Thurman used in “Pulp Fiction” a white blouse to enhance your image of a temperamental vamp woman in contrast.
Fashion designers also adore the white blouse, because it can be perfectly combined with skirts, trousers or leggings. In the 80s, white blouses could be seen on all the catwalks. Karl Lagerfeld decorated them with pinches, Issei Miyake with pleats, Thieri Mugler made them asymmetrical and equipped them with massive shoulder pads. The blouse remains in favorites today!
