Mesh is one of those fabrics that can go in a lot of directions depending on how it's cut and styled. This ruched version by Rue Paris takes it somewhere feminine and considered — the gathering creates soft, flattering folds that add texture and dimension to the silhouette without making the piece feel overdone. It's sheer, which means it's designed to be layered, and that layering is part of what makes it interesting.
Wear it over a fitted camisole or bralette for a polished, editorial look, or tuck it into high-waist trousers or a midi skirt for an evening-ready outfit. Available in Red, Black, and White, in sizes S, M, and L (EU sizing). Red is the most statement-making of the three; Black is the most versatile for evening wear; White has a fresh, summery quality that works well for daytime layering. By Rue Paris — a brand known for balancing European sensibility with everyday wearability.
This is the kind of top that makes a simple outfit feel like a considered look without requiring much effort to get there.

Styling Suggestions
For a polished evening look, tuck it into a high-waist satin skirt or tailored trousers and add heeled sandals. For a more casual daytime outfit, layer it over a fitted white tank with straight-leg jeans and flat sandals. The Red colorway works beautifully for date nights and cocktail events; Black layers seamlessly over a black bralette for a tonal, sophisticated look; White pairs naturally with cream, beige, and neutral bottoms for a soft, summery combination.
Fabric and Fit
The mesh fabric is lightweight and breathable, making it a comfortable choice for warm evenings and indoor events. The ruching adds some structure and opacity in the gathered areas, but a layer underneath is recommended for most occasions. The slightly fitted cut moves with the body without feeling restrictive, and the EU sizing runs true to standard measurements.
Is this blouse fully sheer?
Yes — the mesh fabric is sheer and is designed to be worn layered over a camisole, bralette, or fitted top underneath. The ruching adds some opacity in the gathered areas, but a layer underneath is recommended for most occasions.
Does this run true to EU sizing?
Yes — the sizing follows standard EU measurements, so S, M, and L correspond to EU S, M, and L respectively. If you're between sizes, sizing up is recommended for a more comfortable fit.
Can this be worn for daytime as well as evening?
Yes — layered over a fitted tank with jeans and flat sandals, it works well for daytime; tucked into a skirt or trousers with heels, it transitions naturally to evening wear.
