Choosing an Evening Blouse

For special evening occasions stylish, elegant evening dresses always looks great. Nevertheless, evening blouses or top teamed with skirt or trousers, can look equally glamorous, and is becoming more popular this year.

Separates are much more versatile than an evening dress, and can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. A few key items can carry you through the season and you won’t need to spend a fortune on a single dress that you won’t feel like wearing when everyone has seen it!

Choose colour and fabrics with care – a slim fitting ankle length skirt in either velvet or silk material will never date, and look chic and elegant teamed with a white silk evening blouse or beaded cami top. For a trendy and daring look choose a sexy, form-fitting bustier! Online retailers, Littlewoods, Roman Originals and Coast have some fantastic items for sale. Trinny & Susannah have an affordable range of elegant evening wear available at Littlewoods, which is definitely worth a look.

Your evening wear can easily be changed by teaming the same basic ankle length skirt with a longer length patterned top. A key look this year is wide fitting trousers worn together with a flowing low neck top, cinched in with a glittering gold belt. Evening sandals can be teamed with the belt, along with earrings and other jewellery. If you want to be really daring, choose a transparent top in either chiffon or taffeta, with or without underwear!

Choosing a couple of key items plus blouses and tops for evenings is the popular choice for this season. It’s much more sensible in many ways and can take you anywhere. Another plus is laundering. If an evening dress becomes stained the whole garment needs to be laundered or dry cleaned, whereas a blouse or skirt is more easily dealt with. It’s no wonder that separate evening wear is becoming popular this year.
