‘Backless and blouses are almost synonymous, according to me. My mother hates me for it, that’s another story.

15 Latest Backless Blouse Designs
1. Backless Blouse With Doris For Lehenga Or Half Saree
What is a blouse without doris? Yes, most of us millennials cannot imagine a blouse without doris, which makes it the most exciting for us. Now, take it one notch up with the door hangers which is what our blouses are practically about. But, what if a blouse was just with doris. That’s what makes a backless blouse smoking hot!
2. Satin And Sequin Backless Blouse
There is a subtle sheen to a satin fabric which makes it look great as it is. Thus, you hardly need to do anything over the top or even an embroidery. However, a simple backless design like this enhances the aesthetic and is fitting. And, with pastel colored blouses like these, you could mix and match them with crepe, chiffon or flowing sarees, and lehengas too.

People (read: parents) freak out with the very idea of backless, but they don’t realize that more often than not, it’s not quite literally backless as opposed to just being deep, broad and developing on the idea of backless.

Who does not love bows? And, who does not like bows for their blouses? This is one of my favorite neck designs because it’s sensuous, stylish and evergreen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of bra should one wear with a backless blouse?
Honestly, gone are the days when you have to worry about looking for a bra to go with your backless blouses. Because backless blouses are invariably padded, with cups attached to the bodice, so you have nothing to worry about. If you already have a blouse that is non-padded and backless, look for silicon-stick on bras that are available just about anywhere, both online and offline.
What kind of jewelry should I wear with a backless blouse?
Keep your jewelry minimal. Backless blouses are a statement piece in themselves and have their own charm, and you really don’t want to take the spotlight away from them by wearing a statement necklace. Keep it simple by wearing a dainty necklace and opt for statement earrings and rings instead. Let your back be the show!
