How to choose a top for the outfit
Begin with what you are pairing it with. A peplum top or a ruffled blouse gives shape over a slim skirt or straight pants, while a relaxed knit or a collared shirt balances a full midi skirt. Sheer and lace tops look polished with a fine camisole underneath, and tie necks and bows add interest without needing jewelry. Embroidered and eyelet styles bring texture to the simplest pair of jeans.
Layering tops through the seasons
In summer, sleeveless and short sleeve tops keep things light. As the weather cools, long sleeve blouses and textured knits take over, and a tailored blazer layers easily over both. To understand what sets a blouse apart from other tops, read what makes a blouse a blouse. Shop by style with blouses and long sleeve tops, or find a partner piece in skirts.
