Remember how Sushmita Sen popularized the glamorous and sensual avatar of the saree in her movie Main Hoon Na? Since then, Bollywood’s fascination with blouses has only grown. Back then, it was mostly bikini blouses or ones with spaghetti straps, but thank God, Indian designers started playing around with more silhouettes. It’s because of them that varying blouse styles have become so popular in Bollywood. Listed below are few designs that many Bollywood divas have been photographed wearing.

Chinese Collar Blouse Design

This design is best suited for night time as it’s largely a formal design. Elegance and modesty are two attributes associated with this look and it suits mature women tremendously. But of course, playing with bright colours and fabric textures can result in some flirty designs that can easily be worn by women in their 20s.

Boat-neck Blouses With Long Sleeves

This one is best suited for those who have flabby arms and broad shoulders. Such backless blouses look best when they are almost backless and are accompanied by 3/4^th or full sleeves. Again, this blouse design gives off a very classy vibe and looks gorgeous in dark colours. Women with petite frames look best in them, but if you have the confidence, you can rock this look with chubby arms as well!

Transparent Necks And Sleeves Blouse Designs

These blouses have a very sensual appeal and is a good option when paired with a lovely chiffon sarees for a night-time semi-formal look. However, the full sleeves are a bane for women with heavy arms.

This is one of those saree blouses that has taken Bollywood by storm – Kajol, Aishawarya, Deepika and even Priyanka have been photographed wearing similar designs on several occasions.

High Neck Blouse Designs

Now this is one of those rare designs that suits women of any body type, and looks great with Western and Indian wear. They give off a Victorian vibe, projecting a vintage image. And they are perfect for the Autumn/Winter weather.

For those with slim bodies and willing to experiment, high neck blouses look stunning with pallazos (for a casual look) or cigarette pants (for an evening look). The fact is that there’s no scarcity of ways you can experiment with this style of blouse – you can wear them with skirts, midis, dresses, pants and even sarees! It’s a must-have for the coming season.
