Long blouses and flared pants are bringing back a 2000s favourite this September

Wearing long blouses can feel tricky, especially if you’re wearing it after a long hiatus or have never worn the style at all. In street style, this blouse is paired with black flared pants—a look that certainly stands out, but does so in a more subtle way. Heeled sneakers add the finishing touch, and if you want to give it a more ’2000s vibe, we recommend choosing metallic or very shiny colors.

While long blouses were all about lending a youthful, fun, and experimental style to the ensemble, today, this Y2K-staple can also be worn in more formal looks. To pull this off, you’ll need a classic polka-dot design, flared pants to elongate the silhouette, as well as black heeled ankle boots and a blazer to add elegance.
