Which one (or both) of these styles looks more elegant and would be more versatile in a woman's wardrobe? Be sure to look at the thumbnails accompanying each to see details.

I can't decide if they are classic, formal or too conservative. No plan to buy until January sales if at all. I can't make up my mind. The fabric, silk charmeuse, is so sensuous.

I would choose the first one. You could wear it with anything.

The second one is too boxy - not enough shape to it so definitely go with the first one. I was on their website and I found a lot of tops I liked better but that's always going to be personal taste. I like a simpler neckline and there were some lovely blouses with open neck collars which I prefer.

I do not think the 2nd one is too boxy, I think the model is wearing a size too big. I think in general the 2nd one is more versatile than the 1st one myself. The first one is beautiful and classy but wouldn't work for date night as it's too prissy and it wouldn't work in warmer climates. It also wouldn't flatter a woman who looks better in open necklines. The 2nd one can be worn for business wear as well as date night depending on how the neckline is adjusted. However, despite that, I actually don't like the fact that it has the possibility of falling open. I don't know if it has a snap or button to close it but personally I would close it up and just wear it like a V-necked blouse.

I also love the first one......I love that tie/ruffle detail. Lovely.

Edit....the pale pink is gorge...but so is the silver. Hmmmmm very elegant.

I like the second one. No, it's not boxy, the model is wearing a size too big, indeed. I find it more elegant, versatile, modern. I would have made it with more buttons, the distance between the buttons is too small. In my opinion. It doesn't look right. For this price I would want it to be perfect.

Neither of them appeal to me. The first looks dated. Though I like the way the collar has been treated, I don't care for the hanging tails.

The second with its asymmetrical design may not stay in style.

It's all a matter of personal taste of course but I've gotten the most wear out of the simple tailored ones that you can use to dress up a pair of jeans or add your own scarf or jewelry to for more flair with a suit or skirt.

Not a fan of either. The first one looks like an 80s throwback with that bow. I like the collar on the second one, but not the buttons.

If it's hard to decide - buy them both. Or, find a third option. I like the twist neck better, in the cream color.

As they say Down South - that's nice.


I vote for neither one. The scarf thing would drive me crazy as it will not stay in place and hangs past the waist line. The other one is straight out of JC Penny 1980s. Neither one is a classic silk blouse.
