Plus-Size Blouses

Is a top a blouse, and is a blouse a top? Believe it or not, there is a difference. By definition, a plus-size blouse is more tailored than a button up shirt. Blouses don’t need to have vertical buttons, as they can be a pullover, or back button style. They are dressier than a shirt, and can be made from silk, lace, or a combination of those fabrics. They can have feminine details like ruffles, bows, or even embroidery. Blouses come in a variety of sleeves: sleeveless, short sleeve, long sleeve, and cold shoulder. They also come in various lengths, starting with cropped or midriff, all the way to hip-length. 

At Dia & Co, our collection of plus-size blouses ranges from blouses that are perfect for the corner office to dressy blouses that can level up any cocktail skirt or pant. We also carry blouses that are casually chic, great for a weekend getaway. Off for a festival or fair? Try one of our boho blouses and your favorite jeans. 

Blouses for Work

Plus-size blouses for work are usually tailored, and many of them are designed to be worn under suit jackets or plus-size blazers. They may have feminine touches like piping around the hem, contrast buttons, and sometimes a pussycat bow or a contrast collar. Plus-size blouse necklines can vary from a draped cowl neck to a ruffled mock neck to a jewel or crew neckline. As for sleeve lengths on plus-size blouses for work, they run from sleeveless to long sleeve.

What to Wear with Your Blouse

Blouses are extremely versatile. A tailored work blouse will add elegance to a jeans and heels outfit. A silky sleeveless blouse can looks great with walking shorts and a low wedge sandal. That same sparkly or floral blouse that you paired with a long skirt for a wedding, can go date night when worn with faux leather leggings. Printed blouses can go with a printed pant, short, or skirt if the print is in the same color. Try pairing a plus-size dot blouse with a pair of plus-size striped pants or a skirt. A classic way to mix up textures is to wear a very feminine blouse with jeans or joggers. Whatever you’re looking for in blouses Dia & Co will always have what you desire.
