70s Style for Body Types Part I

Hey, y'all. Bet you didn't expect to see another post so soon. Well, no worries. I have awakened from my hibernation and am back in business since the school year has begun. Tonight, I will be discussing how to achieve 1970s in the form of blouses. I want to focus on 70s style since that is a decade that I really admire, especially the music and fashion. I think I might have been born in the wrong decade.

So there are three main types of blouses that were very popular in this decade: high-neck blouses, peasant blouses and babydoll blouses. Let's first discuss on high neck blouses.



If you generally have a tall, thin body type, the high neck blouse would be best suited for you. High neck blouses are loose fitting with little to no waist definition, which is why it is perfect for the tall, thin body type. Tall, willowy or tall, athletic figures do not need waist definition since their body types lack curves. The high neck blouses complement the height of your frames.



If you are slender or athletic and petite to average height, I recommend off-shoulder tops. The off-shoulder detail will show off your slim shoulders.



If you are petite to average height with a more voluptuous, or even slightly voluptuous figure, go for peasant blouses. Specifically, cropped peasant blouses. Cropped styles will complement your petite figure. The folding and draping of the peasant styles will highlight your curves.
