A blouse with frills will help add romance and femininity to your look. Ruffles lying in smooth waves on the chest, along a row of buttons, on the sleeves or along the bottom of the item decorate it and make the appearance more elegant and festive.

Unusual sleeves can give a highlight to even the simplest cut tunic. The following look best with a long blouse:
- flashlights. Usually short sleeves are given a rounded shape, but this season long sleeves, sewn based on lanterns, are in fashion;

- wide. What is meant here is that they widen downward;
- long. The trend is for sleeves whose length covers the palms. This effect can be created by small frills or flounces on the cuffs;
- bat. In this model, the sleeves are not cut as cut-offs, but are a single whole with the main part of the item. The armhole is lowered, due to which the shape of bat wings is created.
