blouson

Loose-fitting top garment

A blouson is a loose-fitting garment, typically a jacket or top, that is gathered at the waist or hem to create a billowing effect above.

The style draws from casual sportswear and military flight jackets, featuring fabric that poufs out over the waistband rather than hanging straight.

She paired her silk blouson with high-waisted trousers for a relaxed but polished look.
