Nishe Black & Gold Music Note Blouse with Tie-Back Detail, UK 8 / NZ 8

Purchase Protection & Refund Policy

A beautifully distinctive black blouse from Nishe, designed with the playful, slightly theatrical detailing that made the label such a recognizable part of indie fashion. The blouse has a sleek, feminine silhouette with a softly shaped waist, pointed collar and long sleeves, but what makes it genuinely special is the combination of gold musical-note embroidery, decorative hardware and an unusual tie detail at the back. From the front, the design is relatively understated. The blouse is cut from a smooth black fabric with a soft crepe-like texture and a slight amount of stretch, giving it a fluid drape while still allowing the body to remain neatly shaped. The pointed collar and branded tonal front buttons keep the overall look polished and classic. The more playful detailing appears at the cuffs and back. The cuffs are decorated with delicate gold embroidered musical notes and symbols, finished with ornate antique-bronze heart-shaped buttons that add a romantic, slightly vintage-inspired touch. At the back, two long narrow fabric ties fall vertically from beneath the collar. They are decorated with the same small gold musical-note embroidery and can be worn in two different ways: left loose and hanging down the back for a relaxed, almost scarf-like effect, or tied into a bow or soft knot for a more feminine and defined finish. This detail changes the character of the blouse completely. Left untied, it feels slightly more modern and fluid, tied, it becomes more romantic and decorative, almost referencing the shape of a necktie or pussy-bow blouse, but positioned at the back rather than the front. That unexpected construction gives the piece a very distinctive look without making it overly dramatic. The overall silhouette is slim and softly tailored, with shaping through the torso and a gently curved hem. The fabric is 95% polyester and 5% spandex, giving it a smooth feel, light movement and just enough stretch for comfort. This blouse works best when the unusual back detail is allowed to be visible. For a clean modern look, style it with high-waisted tailored black trousers or dark straight-leg jeans, loafers or pointed ankle boots, and minimal jewelry. Leave the back ties loose so they fall naturally and create movement. For something more feminine, tie the back ribbons into a soft bow and pair the blouse with a black satin midi skirt, tailored mini or high-waisted wide-leg trousers. The gold embroidery and bronze-toned buttons already provide enough detail, so the rest of the outfit can stay very simple. It would also work beautifully under a sleeveless vest or structured blazer, allowing the collar and cuffs to remain visible while the embroidered ties create interest at the back.
