33 Blouses You Will Want to Wear Again and Again

'In my opinion, the perfect blouse shouldn't just be beautiful in colour, structure, or masterful embellishments. It should also have a certain multi-tasking quality to it.  As we navigate a tumultuous world, where 'responsible consumerism' is the critical need of the hour, the idea of a garment that can be worn in different ways is very attractive, but it is also necessary. Take for example an intricately embellished blouse that takes on a different personality when paired with an evening sari for cocktails, or a white, cotton lehenga for a beach mehendi. In my own wardrobe, there sit several solid-coloured, Indianwear pieces—a silver-grey Shantanu and Nikhil sari, a minimalist, black lehenga, and an electric-red 431-88 half-sari are just some of them. Over the years, these versatile pieces have become the perfect canvas to build several looks on—a printed, chiffon blouse adds a touch of summer romance, while an embroidered choli elevates the outfit to formalwear.  I am no stranger to wearing Indian blouses as westernwear, either—you'd be pleasantly surprised to see that many of this-season's blouses look effortlessly stylish when teamed with a pair of high-waist trousers or a swishy skirt.  The secret lies in a blouse's ability to adapt. My own MO is to imagine a blouse—or any separate, for that matter—with other items that already exist in my closet. If I can imagine creating at least three different outfit options, that piece, for me, becomes a winner.    Here is a curation of 20 exquisite blouses—from minimalist to maximalist—worth your consideration. Whether you're the bride or the guest, I hope you will find one that you not only love, but will love forever...'
