I think originally shirts were worn by men, and blouses by women.  Now the terms are used interchangeably.   That's why you see so many shirts/blouses just called tops.

@Kachina624,

I think the women back in the old days stole their man's shirts, put a belt around them so it would look like it fit them and then called it a blouse...LOL!

A blouse is a blouse, a shirt is a shirt, and a top is a top.  And that's that!!  (lol) ........... I've been calling buttoned men's style (made for women) shirts 'shirts'.  Blouses could be with or without buttons, not as casual, a bit, more or less, dressier fabric-wise.   Tops are everything in-between.   Such as D&Co various tops (not blouses, not menswear type shirts).

Right!  Nothing about a shirt says blouse to me, and I don't know where the confusion is.
