How to make an outfit look better with the right shirt or blouse
Clothes make the man or woman. We have all heard this saying before, and it could not be more true. The right clothes can make you look and feel fabulous, while the wrong clothes can make you look and feel frumpy. When it comes to making an outfit look great, the shirt or blouse you choose is crucial.
Consider the colour of the shirt
The first thing to consider when choosing a shirt or blouse is the colour. The colour of your shirt or blouse should complement the colours in your pants or skirt. For example, if you are wearing a pair of black pants, you might want to choose a white shirt or blouse to wear with them. If you are wearing a green skirt, you might want to choose a pink shirt or blouse.
Style of the blouse
Another thing to consider is the style of the shirt or blouse. You want to choose a style that flatters your figure. If you have a larger bust, you might want to choose a V-neck shirt or blouse. If you have a smaller bust, you might want to choose a scoop-neck shirt or blouse. You also want to consider the sleeve length. If you have large arms, you might want to choose a long-sleeved shirt or blouse. If you have small arms, you might want to choose a short-sleeved shirt or blouse.
The type of fabric
The fabric of the shirt or blouse is also important. You want to choose a fabric that is breathable and comfortable. Natural fibres like cotton and linen are always a good choice. You should keep in mind that fabrics like polyester are prone to wrinkling.
Putting my perfect outfit together
When browsing the Very site, I wanted a shirt that I knew I would feel confident in whether I was going out for dinner with friends, meeting a new client or attending a parent’s evening. I also want to know if the items I buy can be versatile and suitable for many occasions as well as last many years. I still wear jeans, tops and dresses I bought years ago. I want to be as sustainable as possible within my wardrobe.
I opted for a Mint Velvet zip-front military shirt. I loved the look of this for the colour but also the fit is flattering on my not-so-flat stomach and the zip allows me to breastfeed easily. I love corals, they look great in Summer and brighten the dull Winter days up too. You can’t go wrong in wearing something that makes you feel comfortable and stylish, all at the same time.
I chose Alexa stretch skinny jeans in black from Pour Moi. These jeans have an ultra skinny fit that is true to your size. These skinny jeans go so well with almost any blouse, t-shirt or jumper you’ll have in your closet.
For my footwear, I opted for black Arden leather ankle boots from Fat Face. Adding these black ankle boots to my outfit really helps everything to come together. With leather lining, these boots are also super comfortable, which is all a girl can ask for! I have also worn these jeans and the shirt with trainers when out for a walk and sandals when the weather was warmer. Shirts and jeans go with pretty much all footwear!
To finish the outfit off perfectly, I added a mini black bag from Calvin Klein and a coin purse from Katie Loxton.
Remember these tips the next time you are trying to put together the perfect outfit. The right shirt or blouse can make all the difference in how pulled-together and stylish you look!
