Blouses and tunics are both popular types of women’s tops, but each piece is subtly different from the other.
Women's blouses resemble shirts in many ways but with a few key differences. Blouses tend to fit more loosely than shirts and frequently have a more dressed-up look.
A women’s tunic is much like a blouse in its loose fit, with a hem that typically reaches between the hips and the knees. Some tunics pull over the head; others button up the front or even the sides. An open tunic makes a wonderful top layer over a light shirt to add a stylish flow to your ensemble.
