Guide to Wearing a Low Cut Blouse
From LoveToKnow Womens-Fashion
If you need a guide to wearing a low cut blouse so that your outfits always stay appropriate, then follow some basic tips that will have you looking stylish, even in a top with a plunging neckline.
How Low is Too Low
There's a time and a place for a low cut blouse. So long as you know the right time and place, you can wear these daring shirts without worry. Still, if looking sophisticated is important to you, there is a point where low becomes too low. There's nothing wrong with a little bit of cleavage, but too much cleavage can not only send the wrong message, it can look tacky and even make a woman look like she's trying way too hard to get some attention.
A low cut blouse that displays a peek of cleavage still leaves a lot to the imagination, but a shirt that bares more than that is revealing too much. Onlookers might be able to see the top of your cleavage, but should not be able to see most of your bust or any part of your bra, especially if you're wearing a push-up bra designed to enhance your chest. Tell yourself this: if anyone mistakes your top for Jennifer Lopez's attention-grabbing Grammy outfit from 2000, then it's cut too low.
Appropriate vs. Not Appropriate
So when can you wear a low cut blouse and not run the risk of sending the wrong message? If you're going out on a nighttime date, a low cut blouse is usually fine. If you're with a significant other, then a top with a plunging neckline can add some real sex appeal to your outfit. Because you're already paired up, you probably won't have to worry about sending mixed signals to guys you're not interested in. Still, if it's a first date, a little modesty doesn't hurt.
Where a low cut blouse is usually never appropriate is at work, especially if your job is in a conservative field. However, there are ways to indulge in wearing a plunging neckline and still look like the professional you are, so read on to find out how.
Simple Guide to Wearing a Low Cut Blouse
If low cut tops are your favorite, then follow these simple tips to make sure you always look right, wherever you are:
- Wear camisoles underneath: This is one way you can wear a low neckline at work and get away with it. Camisoles come in plain and embellished varieties, usually with some lacework around the top. Slip into a camisole before you put on your low cut blouse and your layered look is much more demure.
- Cover up: A lightweight cardigan can be a fashionable addition to your outfit. Just make sure it's not too tight if you choose to button it up. You can also look into some summertime scarf fashion ideas if a low cut top is your favorite warm weather blouse. An artfully draped silk or other light scarf is an easy way to accessorize and add some coverage at the same time.
- Pair with the right bottoms: If your blouse is low cut, then that's the attention getter of your outfit. When you choose to wear one sexy piece, the rest of your outfit should be more subdued. Your pants or skirt shouldn't be tight, or cut too high or too low. In other words, micro mini skirts are out when wearing such a revealing shirt.
- Make sure it's the right material: For your look to remain classy, your low cut top should not also be a sheer blouse. One sexy aspect at a time is enough. Thicker materials can give the illusion of more coverage, which is what you want when your cleavage is already on display.
Wear it the Right Way
You can definitely indulge in a dramatic neckline if you follow this simple guide to wearing a low cut blouse. Many women love to feel beautiful and sexy and if you love your bust, you might like showing off your best assets. Just make sure you do it the right way and you won't come off looking like you left your sophistication at home, along with the rest of your outfit!
