What is a "blouse"?

A blouse is a type of women's clothing that is typically worn on the upper body. It is usually made of lightweight and flowy fabric such as silk, chiffon, or cotton and is designed to be loose-fitting. Blouses come in a wide variety of styles, from simple and casual to more formal and elegant. They may have different types of necklines such as round, V-neck, or boat neck, and may feature various embellishments such as ruffles, lace, or embroidery. Blouses can be paired with skirts, pants, or shorts and are often worn in professional or semi-formal settings.
