Material advantages
Chiffon is a beautiful transparent material, very thin and light. It drapes well, flowing with luxurious folds. It is not easy for a tailor to work with chiffon - the material is very capricious. Therefore, when choosing a blouse, you should look very carefully at the cut and seams.

- softness, beauty;
- breathability;
- durable with proper care.
The material is pleasant to the body. It is easy to dye, making chiffon products available in almost any color.
Main trends of the season
PoAccording to stylists, things made of this noble material look quite expensive and keep a good look for a long time. The blouse can be successfully carried for more than one season. But both the best fashion houses in the world and youth brands always strive to pamper their fans with unusual novelties.
Our article presents photos of chiffon blouses that make it clear what is in trend today.
In many fashion catalogs you can see blouses with cutouts on the shoulders. Relevant layering, asymmetry, unusual cut.
Traditionally, models of delicate shades are kept in a romantic style. And black chiffon blouses can have a seductive decor in the form of lace inserts, leather belt straps, rhinestones. Too complex a cut for such things is rarely used, because the main part is played by a seductive fabric. Stylists advise to pay special attention to the design of the gate. It can be made in the form of a bow or a jabot. We have all seen this more than once, because fashion is cyclical. Today, this decor is relevant again.
Patterns and colors
As for the color range, the choice is unlimited, just get what suits you. Both the most delicate pastel colors and juicy shades of fruits and flowers are in fashion: purple, marsala, burgundy, emerald, blue. Deep blacks, innocent whites and exquisite shades of ivory and champagne are timeless classics.
It's hard to imagine that one day there will come a time when clothes with polka dots will no longer look fashionable. In any case, it is hardly worth waiting for them in the near future. Todaysuch a pattern can be called a win-win option.
Lovers of boho and ethnic styles often prefer such an ornament as "Indian cucumber" or paisley. Geometric ethnic motifs, reminiscent of national ornaments of different peoples of the world, also look great in chiffon.
For images in a romantic, emphatically feminine style, you should choose a blouse with a floral print. And to keep it from looking too frivolous, you can balance it with regular jeans.
It is worth mentioning that today the best couturiers in the world do not make special bets. Interest in predatory prints is waning, and those who believe in the Chinese horoscope are offered to completely abandon cat motifs in the Year of the Dog. It’s not often that you see strict geometry at fashion shows. Gradually losing ground and color blocking. Those who want to look fashionable should not risk buying luminescent new clothes. It is likely that these trends will return in future seasons, but they are currently not in high demand.
Length
Usually women's blouses are made up to the hip joint. Such clothes can be tucked into trousers or a skirt, and also worn for graduation. The bottom edge is not decorated with too voluminous decor so that it does not bulge. The same thing can play in completely different ways. For example, you can tuck a chiffon black blouse into a skirt and put on a jacket on top to get a strict ensemble. If you wear the same blouse with light jeans and complete the lookFlat sandals for a laid-back look for walking and lounging.
In recent years, elongated styles are also relevant. They can reach the middle of the thigh, knee, and even the lower leg or ankles. For such blouses, it is worth choosing a minimalistic bottom: black shorts, tight-fitting pipe trousers, slim jeans. Such an outfit is suitable for informal events, but it is quite possible to compose with an elongated blouse and a luxurious evening bow, choosing high-heeled shoes and tight trousers made of expensive material.
Combined styles
Translucent seductive chiffon goes well with contrasting fabrics. The most unexpected combinations are used in tailoring blouses, when chiffon is in harmony with leather, suede, satin, guipure and even fur.
A blouse with chiffon sleeves looks stricter, but no less feminine than a model made entirely of delicate translucent fabric. You can combine such a thing with a trouser suit.
Another common move is chiffon inserts on the back. In this case, the front trims are made of opaque material, which will hide all the juicy details from prying eyes.
With and without sleeves
Chiffon long sleeve blouse is a great option for off-season and winter. Many of these models can be called self-sufficient - they look good without an overcoat, jacket or frock coat.
Options with short sleeves or no sleeves are usually chosen by slenderyoung girls. It is worth noting that for office style, even for the most loyal, such models of blouses are not suitable. But at a meeting with friends, on a trip or at a summer festival, you will be irresistible. And the thin, breathable material keeps you comfortable.
With bow and jabot
Since chiffon flows well, does not bulge and forms beautiful folds, designers often sew puffy voluminous collars from it.
White chiffon blouse with bow-tie collar is perfect for a gentle romantic look. The same thing in red or black will look sexy.
Jabot beautiful ladies once borrowed from men's fashion. The beauties of past centuries liked it so much that women refused to part with this charming detail. Today, this type of decoration is more relevant than ever. Do you want to be in trend? Opt for a blouse with a tiered, embroidered or lace frill. By the way, this detail can be made not as part of a blouse, but as a removable element that can be combined with different clothes according to your mood.
Asymmetric models
Many fashion designers today are betting on an unusual cut. A blouse, for example, may have only one puffy sleeve, which will contrast with the other open shoulder.
Models sewn from parts that are layered look original.
When choosing the bottom for a chiffon blouse with an asymmetrical cut, it is better to prefer a concise model of trousers, shorts or a skirt. Too muchabundant decor will make the image inharmonious, disperse attention from the main "chip", create a feeling of congestion.
Chiffon blouse for everyday wear
The variety of options that will look great in your everyday wardrobe is very pleasing.
Usually, making up casual looks, women prefer to combine blouses made of light noble fabrics with democratic jeans. Such unions look harmonious and at ease. But frankly sporty things are unlikely to look appropriate in such a company, they should be avoided.
Long chiffon blouses go well with a wide variety of bottoms: with loose trousers, with classic jeans, with tight leggings.
With great care, you should choose outerwear. Layering is in fashion today, when the floors of a translucent blouse peek out from under a knitted sweater or leather jackets. But not all such experiments are successful. Yes, and in a sock, such outfits are not always practical: things crumple, gather in folds, stray at the waist. To avoid such incidents, give preference to the classic combination of a blouse and a jacket that is not much longer than it. But chiffon ruffles and frills may well be knocked out of the sleeves of the jacket.
Evening Models
The stereotype, which says that a woman can look elegant at a gala event only in a dress, has long sunk into oblivion. Fashion houses around the world offer a wide variety of solutions: overalls, fluffy skirts, elegant blouses,trouser suits. Usually, clothes intended for celebrations are richly decorated with embroidery, beads, beads. But when composing the image, the main thing is not to overdo it.
For example, if you are betting on a skirt made of sparkling fabric, especially colored, it is better to complement it with a black chiffon blouse, on which the decor is located on the collar or cuffs. Perhaps it is worth choosing a concise model altogether, which will emphasize the main detail of the image.
Speaking of evening fashion, it is worth mentioning such a trend as vintage style. In a city, and even more so business wardrobe, such a blouse may look too pretentious, but it will sparkle in all its glory on a holiday.
Clothes in this style are decorated with frills, lacing, tails. As an addition, both strict trousers and a fluffy floor-length skirt are suitable. From jewelry, you can choose a brooch with a cabochon or cameo.
A few words about appropriateness in a business wardrobe
If your organization has rules governing the appearance of employees, it is better not to take risks with women's chiffon blouses. Like all translucent materials, chiffon is unacceptable in a strict business environment. As an exception, perhaps a shirt-cut blouse, sewn from several layers of fabric, through which neither the body nor underwear can be seen.
Combined models that have lace inserts or sparkling accessories are all the more inappropriate.
But in those organizations where the rules are not so strict, chiffon clothing is not a taboo. However, in any case, choose forwork too frank model is not worth it.
How to choose underwear
This moment is extremely important. Especially if there are no dense inserts in the chest area on the blouse, then the bra will be translucent. In no case should you wear lace underwear under translucent clothes. Choose a model with smooth cups without too much decoration.
If the blouse is made of a single-layer thin material, it would be appropriate to wear a tight-fitting T-shirt with thin straps or a bandeau top under it.
Lingerie and its fragments (straps, fasteners) peeking out from under clothes are considered bad manners in any situation.
Proper care of chiffon items
It cannot be said that chiffon requires some kind of especially reverent attitude, like, for example, natural silk. But too aggressive washing is contraindicated for him. It is better to use the delicate mode.
When ironing, you must observe a gentle temperature regime. When buying a new item, carefully examine the tag, on which the manufacturer indicated all the recommendations for caring for it.
