From high-end fashion houses like Chanel all the way through newcomers like Maria Cornejo: Not often does a trend take on the full fashion spectrum. Blousons in maxi lengths were the common denominator for every catwalk of this season – and for good reason. The silhouette is markedly more feminine than the classic blouson look. The typical strong military detailing is set aside leaving freedom to add more fun and exciting features like drawstring casings (Maria Cornejo) and XL pockets (Fendi).

Also, a wider set of fabric choices add a great variety to the stylish makeover of this season. Traditional nylon fabrics are replaced with feminine tweed and bouclé (Chanel) and jacquard; tropical prints (Paul & Joe), patchwork eye-catchers (Zimmermann) and logo prints are the new normal. These fresh must-haves of the runway are the inspiration for our fashion look on the opposite page for you to sew your own style.
Style fresh: Rather than a collar of ribbed fabric, this version includes a V-neck with a casing.
Run with the athleisure style of the long blouson jacket and pair with bottoms like these "Stretch Trousers" :https://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/stretch-trousers-122018?utm_source=burdastyle.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=bs-meh-bl-190220-Blouson-StretchTrousers. Then you can really make the whole look pop with a pair of fashion sneakers!
Style this jacket with a printed dress "like this one" :https://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/tunic-dress-062018?utm_source=burdastyle.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=bs-meh-bl-190220-Blouson-TunicDress to pull in one color. Then dress it up with a fun pair of booties!
Take a fashion risk by paring the blouson jacket with a jumpsuit like our "Midi Jumpsuit".
