Blouse
A blouse (English: , , or ) is a loose-fitting upper garment that was formerly worn by workmen, peasants, artists, women, and children. It is typically gathered at the waist or hips (by a waistband or belt) so that it hangs loosely (“blouses”) over the wearer’s body. Today, the word most commonly refers to a girl’s or woman’s dress shirt It can also refer to a man’s shirt if it is a loose-fitting style (e.g. poet shirts and Cossack shirts), though it rarely is. Traditionally, the term has been used to refer to a shirt which blouses out or has an unmistakably feminine appearance.
The term is also used for some men’s military uniform jackets.
