Then start small, let it not be a dress or suit, but just a pea blouse. Among the huge variety of such gizmos, you can choose a style for any age and type of figure.
Stylist Tips: Adjusting the shape with a print
For all its geometric simplicity, polka dots belong to very ambiguous prints. Depending on its size, location and color, the perception of not only clothes, but also the female figure as a whole changes.
- Small peas will look best on a thin figure, but women with curvaceous shapes should stop at medium (moderate) peas, while too large elements will not decorate anyone (remember Mickey Mouse girlfriend).
- Elongated women's blouses in large peas, flared down, can visually make a figure with narrow hips harmonious.
- If you want to add a volume bust, give preference to black and white options for blouses with high waists and pleats, ruffles, ruffles and other decorative elements in the chest area. For ladies with curvaceous forms, this advice is retroactive.
- Women with wide shoulders, a large figure should pay attention to combined blouses, when the sleeves and collar, for example, are plain, and in front and behind there is an insert of material with peas.
What to wear with a pea blouse: general tips
This print is still considered to be summer, so it will look most relevant and elegant in the warm season, and it does not matter at all whether it will be a skirt, trousers, dress or blouse. Accordingly, the materials used are usually light: chiffon, silk, viscose, cotton, less often satin and knitwear.
A blouse with polka dots can be called a universal thing. She is not capricious in choosing her neighbors, the only thing to pay attention to is color harmony. A win-win in this regard is a black and white blouse.
To get started, choose solid colors for this print. However, with a skillful approach, peas are successfully adjacent to other patterns, such as a strip.
White blouse in black peas and the inverse ratio - this is a standard option, rightly considered a classic. Such a blouse will be appropriate in any wardrobe, it is enough to choose the shape and size of the print for the figure. Despite the playfulness of the drawing, it is suitable for the office, for a business meeting. It can be easily combined with everyday everyday things, including jeans. Further, several suggestions from stylists about what to wear with it.
Option number 1: with something red
Surprisingly, it is a fact: flirty peas, already standing out from the whole image, go well with catchy red color. The hue of the latter can be very different - from rich and bright to deep tones of Burgundy wine.
Complement the blouse with peas with a jacket, cardigan, trousers or less radically - with a handbag, shoes, vest, strap. Pay attention to the discreet and stylish universal option in the photo above. The calm red color is complemented by a white blouse with barely noticeable small peas and original sleeves with cuts.
Option number 2: with white or black
Pants or a skirt to match perfectly complement the white or black peas in a blouse. What does it fit better with if not in monochrome ?! This is an option for those who do not want to experiment with the color palette or are afraid to do it. Black and white trousers and skirts to help you. In the first photo you see a bold combination of large peas on a blouse with a goose foot print on shoes. They not only coexist perfectly in one look, but simply look amazing together. The main principle is all in moderation. A wide-brimmed hat and a neat handbag on a chain give the appeal and femininity to the image.
The second option is a great summer kit. This is a direct confirmation that light cotton white pea blouses are indispensable in the warm season. It is enough to supplement them with a short white skirt made of flowing material, an envelope bag and shy sandals all with the same print. A stylish sunglasses or hat is emphasized.
Option number 3: with leather
A lot has been said about how the combination of different textures looks original, fresh and stylish. Lightness and tenderness of silk, cotton, linen polka dot blouses will be emphasized by a brutal leather jacket, possibly even a leather jacket or tight pants, as well as a pencil skirt and short shorts. In the photo below - a daring set in the best traditions of rock culture. Ripped jeans and a leather jacket are softened by a chaotic blouse in peas, as well as classic boats.
The listed options of what you can wear this print with are essentially universal. We gave examples of a combination with a black and white blouse, but leather, red and monochrome work with other colors, and no less advantageous. In continuation of the topic, we offer you three more options on how to wear blouses in peas (photo - hereinafter).
Option number 4: complement with bright color
Developing the theme of red and peas in one set, we want to note that this does not end the palette of shades. A print can have a wide variety of formats. Peas, for example, can generally be multi-colored on a blouse. This option is appropriate if it is pastel colors, pale and not screaming. It can be supplemented by any bottom. True, it is better to choose its shade to one of the colors in which the peas are painted.
Mix “pea” blouses with bold summer colors: yellow, shades of mustard, menthol, saturated orange, deep pink, electric blue. In the photo above - an incredibly juicy and colorful image. A rich yellow skirt and a classic black and white blouse will look especially impressive on tanned skin. A great option for a vacation or walks in the hot summer city.
Option number 5: with denim
Without denim, the wardrobe of a modern woman is unthinkable. He found expression not only in jeans, but also in skirts, shorts, breeches, overalls, vests and shirts. Of course, the main property of all these things is absolute convenience and versatility.
They are relevant almost everywhere and with almost everything. No exception and a blouse in peas. With it, you can create a casual look (photo above) or a simple and playful leisure set, complementing it with an original clutch. In the first case, the calm basic color scheme is diluted with a lemon-colored jacket, and complemented by brown leather boats and a bag.
The second set is still easier. The pale blue color of jeans is emphasized by the calm mustard shade of the blouse, and only a fashionable clutch with its print reminds of summer, paradise butterflies and flowers.
Option number 6: with a different print
Mixing peas with other prints is not only possible, but even necessary. What could be more interesting than the colorful game of stripes, rhombs, goose pads, etc., assembled in one set? Of course, to make it so that it is beautiful and stylish, not easy. Start small, try combining two types of peas in one image: large and small. As, for example, in the kit in the photo below.
The blouse is decorated with small and very frequent peas, which are barely distinguishable and to some extent create a multi-colored effect, and the skirt, on the contrary, is large and catchy. Such a set requires simple accessories: pumps and an envelope diluting black and white.
A little more complicated is a pea blouse complete with a strip. The rule is the same as in the previous case: one print should be inferior to another in degree of brightness and power. Do not also zealous with color: 2-3 shades, no more. Brightness can be added using accessories. Take on the idea of combining the three primary colors: black, white and red. Not boring, not corny, and at the same time very harmonious.
