Peasants Blouses are Pleasant
We've all seen
peasant tops or
peasant blouses but perhaps didn't know what to call them. The term peasant blouse refers to type of women's blouse with a design based on the traditional dress of Romania, Poland, and other European counties.
In the United States, peasant blouses became extremely popular in Sixties, because women felt it evoked a casual and carefree image that seemed well-suited to the mood of the time. This romantic style of top often features a low neckline, ruffles, and flowing material. Michael Kors makes short and long sleeved peasant tops in lots of different styles, including off-the-shoulder and scoop-neck.
One version offers a smocked waistline that gives a blouson silhouette to a crinkled top with a scooped neckline, and another features a cinched, off-the-shoulder neckline with a smocked hem that creates a
blouson style; there are many colors and fabrics in this line from which to choose.
Baby Phat's peasant shirt is made of all cotton and features a crew neck top with waist smock detailing and a ruffled neck and hem.
