[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The current, on trend option here is a light weight, slightly fitted sweater. I'm not talking about a thick cable knit, but like a ribbed silk cardigan, maybe with a v neck, worn on its own or over a very lightweight camisole. Polos are also in, again fitted with a v neck or with the buttons undone. Something like this:

If the v neck or polo styles don't work, you can do a boat or square or jewel neck. Cardigans are nice because you can adjust the amount of skin you show based on how much you unbutton it.

The key is a thin, fine knit in a body skimming (not tight, but something that will graze your body and show some shape) fabric. Ribbing is great for this. You can wear it with jeans and boots for a casual date, over a slip dress or with a mini skirt to feminize it more, with wide leg trousers for after work drinks, etc.

The big patterned and cutwork blouses people are linking might work for some women if that is your style and you can pull it off, but a lot of women won't feel comfortable in that, especially on a date. The thin knits are a lot more versatile and easy to dress up or down with jewelry and other clothes. I am also seeing a lot of knit dresses, if you have the body for it. Look amazing with boots. The more body con it is, the more covered up it should be to balance it. So like a fitted sheath dress, but it's long sleeve with a mock neck, worn with tall boots.[/quote]

These are really pretty![/quote]
