Muslin is the perfect fabric for summer! Whether you’re at the lake, in the city, or working out–a muslin blouse is a must-have. STYLEBOOK explains how to style and pair the blouse correctly.

The muslin blouse remains an absolute must-have for summer. The lightweight fabric feels comfortable on the skin and offers sun protection. Despite often having long sleeves, you won’t sweat because the fabric is light and soft. No wonder all clothing items made from this material are popular. Muslin blouses, in particular, continue to be trendy. Here, we reveal how to style them correctly.

Muslin Blouse is a Summer Must-have

Muslin blouses have been a staple in our wardrobes for several summers now. They are usually long and oversized and often worn open. However, there are now many other variations, such as with small ruffles, short sleeves, or bows. Matching sets of long pants or shorts with a matching blouse are particularly popular. But you can also style the muslin blouse coolly on its own. We reveal the long history of muslin fabric in this article.

4 Looks with Muslin Blouses

With Bikini at the Beach

At the beach, the muslin blouse is not only stylish but also practical. Thanks to the loose and lightweight fabric, you won’t sweat unnecessarily, yet the long sleeves still offer sun protection. You can also casually wear it over a bikini when heading to the beach bar or kiosk at the lake or pool.

Sporty with Leggings

The muslin blouse pairs well not only with a bikini but also with a sports outfit. If a cool breeze blows after a workout, you can simply throw the loose oversized blouse over a sports top or bra. The combination of tight leggings and a loose blouse is ideal for summer, whether you’re planning to exercise or just wearing the clothes casually.

Strolling in the City

The blouse is perfect for the beach—so why not wear it while strolling in the city?! Especially on hot days, the fabric feels pleasant on the skin. Pair it with matching muslin pants or shorts, sunglasses, and some slides, and your look is complete.
