I get a lot of questions about styling and have recently had some requests for styling tips for the Sutton Blouse in particular, especially in the colder months. I thought it would be fun to show you how I wear it, both on it’s own and as a layering piece to give you some ideas.
1 – Under a Fitted Jacket
This is how I have been wearing my Sutton Blouse the most this fall. Jeans and a fitted jacket with either boots or flats. I like this outfit because the deep V makes me feel less buttoned up and the fact that the back extends out the back of my jacket and covers my bum in super skinny jeans is always a good idea.
2 – With an Oversized Sweater
I love wearing oversized sweaters in the fall. Paired with skinny jeans or leggings and boots and I am ready to head out the door and be super comfy.
3 – With my Hudsons
I think that you have to be careful when pairing a loose top with loose pants, but I have found that if I do a little front tuck and wear it with heels then the silhouette is much more flattering. This is one super comfy outfit. And if it gets cold I would just throw my leather jacket on top.
4 – With a Skirt and Blazer
To dress it up a bit I paired my Sutton Blouse with a fitted blazer and knit pencil skirt. I like wearing the Sutton Blouse with this outfit because the deep V allows me to feel less librarian and a little more edgy. Otherwise I think that I would feel super conservative and a little clausterphobic.
I hope these styling ideas helped give you some ideas for wearing your Sutton Blouse when it’s cold outside. Today was the last day of the sewalong, but I am working on some variations that should be popping up over the next few weeks. Thanks so much for sewing or following along!

All of these outfits are great! I especially love that oversized sweater with your green blouse. I need a sweater like that in my life!
You are so stylish! Thanks for sharing – I’m totally inspired!
These all look great! I’ve already been wearing my first Sutton loads with skinnies, a cardigan and boots, I’ve got my second one (with a round neckline variation) cut and ready to sew.
No one wears the Sutton blouse better than its creator. Looking good!
Thanks for the sewalong! I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to wear my Sutton blouse this weekend.
Hi – I have just finished my Sutton Blouse – I love it! I will need to do an fba I think, for the next one. Will you be posting a tutorial on how to do an fba?
probably not. I thought about it, but since there are so many tutorials out there and the top is so oversized that most people probably don’t need to do one I decided it probably wasn’t necessary. So glad you like your top though. i would love to see your top and fba version.
I used this non-dart FBA tutorial and its worked out pretty well! http://jo-sews-etc.blogspot.com/2014/04/fitting-for-slouch-no-dart-full-bust.html Although (although I think this method works best with 3/4″ or less adjustment to make). I’d love to know if there are other non-dart tutorials out there.
This is such a great post! You have such great style – I can’t wait to see what you come up with next! Also, I am madly in love with those Hudsons! Thanks for sharing this Kelli!
Surprised to see your sutton blouse it’s great………………
