A classic staple for any woman's closet, the blouse has become indispensable to her look. Versatile and sophisticated at once, this wardrobe staple can easily transition between formal events and more informal gatherings with ease. However, at times a blouse alone might not suffice - whether for extra warmth or simply adding style - layering is your friend! But, What do you wear on top of a blouse?

Dakini offers an expansive collection of women's tops, including blouses, that are the foundation of endless layering options!

Cover Yourself In Style with Warmth

Cardigans Are Cozy Companions

Cardigans are timeless layering pieces that add extra warmth. From cropped boleros to longline designs that provide additional coverage and insulation.

• Chunky Knits: For an interesting, stylish juxtaposition, pair a delicate silk or satin blouse with a chunky knit cardigan for added visual interest and warmth in an ensemble. It makes your outfit both visually interesting and cozy at once!

Sweaters Are Perfect For Colder Days

An extra sweater provides additional warmth in times of chillier temperatures, from turtleneck to pullover or V-neck designs that provide casual yet sophisticated styles.

• Reach Harmony: When layering sweaters over blouses, aim for aesthetic harmony by tucking your shirt into high-waisted pants to define your waistline and avoid an untucked appearance.

Jackets: Structure and Formality

A jacket adds structure and formality to an otherwise casual blouse look; selecting an ideal jacket requires consideration as well.

• Blazers: For formal occasions such as work meetings and special events, tailored blazers add polish and professionalism that set off an outfit beautifully.
• Bomber Jackets: To give an outfit a more casual edge layer a bomber jacket over a graphic print blouse and jeans.
• Denim Jacket: Layer denim jackets over casual wear for added edge and character.

Layer for Style

Vests Offer Polished Sophistication

Vests add a polished touch and define your waistline, adding polish to an outfit while simultaneously showing your figure off in all its glory.

• Tailored Chic: Pair a flowy blouse with customised pants and a vest for an effortlessly chic office look. 

Dresses Are Unexpected and Trendy

Layering an unexpected blouse under an elegant dress adds an unexpected and trendy edge that stands out.

• Play with Textures and Lengths: For an elegant combination, layer silk under a linen pinafore dress for an intriguing juxtaposition in textures. Also experiment with different lengths - adding an overflowing blouse creates an air of whimsical femininity in shorter dresses, creating whimsical yet feminine vibes.
