What is a blouse for work?

A blouse is a loose-fitting top typically worn by women in business or casual settings or artists at work. Blouses tend to be easier to wear than shirts in the summer because they’re lightweight, fit loosely over the body and lightly gather at the waist and hips.

Blouses are available in various styles, shapes, and designs, so there is a blouse for any occasion. However, they are particularly popular among women in offices because they are cool and comfortable to wear all day long while still looking professional. Alexandra offers a range of professional work blouses for women.

Why is it called a blouse?

The term ‘blouse’ originated in French and became adopted and adapted by English speakers. The term initially referred to the blue blouse worn by French labourers but quickly the different smocks and tunics were worn by English agricultural labourers. By 1870 its meaning had changed again, and “blouse” came to refer to a garment ‘for a young girl’, bringing it much more in line with modern usage.

What is the difference between tops and blouses?

A ‘top’ refers to any garment that clothes a person’s torso, including shirts, blouses, waistcoats, jackets and coats. A ‘blouse’ is a kind of top typically worn by women that’s free-flowing, lightweight and almost always has a button front.
