Blouses and tops for women

A blouse changes everything. The same pants, the same shoes, and yet you carry yourself differently. At LaDress you'll find blouses and tops in fabrics that drape beautifully all day long, with a fit that simply feels right. Browse the full collection of women's blouses and tops below.

Blouses and tops for work, weekend and evening

In the morning you pick one piece that has to carry you through the whole day. Wear a satin blouse under a blazer for your meeting, then hang the blazer over your chair in the evening and see the rest of the day through. Choose a cotton poplin blouse with jeans on Friday, and for a dinner or party pick a sequin top that catches the light as soon as you move.

From satin blouse to sleeveless top: discover the styles

Every figure and every occasion calls for a different style of blouse. That's why our collection includes a wide variety of blouses and tops.

Choose a classic button-down blouse with a collar when you want a polished, professional line. For a softer look, go for a blouse with puff sleeves or smocked cuffs, which makes the silhouette lighter. A tie-neck blouse adds a refined detail around the neckline and needs little extra styling. Looking for a blouse with a collar detail? Our satin blouses have a mandarin collar and long sleeves.

Looking for something to wear under a blazer or gilet? The sleeveless top with a round or boat neckline lies flat under a jacket without bunching. And the V-neck top with thin straps is the base you slip a blazer over in the evening.

Colors you keep coming back to

A white blouse and a black top remain the two pieces you reach for most. Alongside them, we work with seasonal colors that deliberately return: ivory, midnight blue, deep aubergine, raspberry red, sapphire blue. Because we make the same color in different fabrics and styles, tone-on-tone styling comes naturally: a satin top under a blazer in exactly the same shade.

For something livelier, take a look at our prints, like the familiar polka dot and subtle florals.

Satin, poplin, crêpe georgette and travel jersey: the fabrics

Our patterns are made by patternmakers from the world of couture. You'll find the collection in satin, crêpe satin, crêpe georgette, stretch cotton poplin, travel jersey and sequins. Satin gives the sheen and fluid drape you expect from a luxury blouse. Crêpe georgette is lighter and moves more freely, ideal for warm days. Stretch cotton poplin holds its shape and stays fresh through a long workday.

Almost all of our styles are made in Europe. Our cotton is GOTS certified wherever possible.

Turn your blouse or top into a complete look

A blouse is rarely the whole story. Tuck a satin blouse into crêpe satin pants in the same color and you have a look that reads as one. Let the blouse fall loosely over a skirt for a softer look.

A sleeveless top is the foundation of a complete outfit. Add a blazer for the office, or a fine knit for the weekend. We also have tops in the same fabric as our blazers to finish your outfit.

Which blouse works for a business look?

Can a satin blouse go in the washing machine?

What's the difference between a blouse and a top?

A blouse usually has a front closure, a collar and sleeves, and falls more loosely around the body. A top is a sleeveless or short-sleeved piece without a closure that you pull over your head. Tops are often worn as a layer under a blazer or gilet; a blouse also stands on its own.
