Stunning tops for every kind of woman
We sometimes don't think that much about tops. They're a basic, simple wardrobe staple – but that's exactly why we should pay them more attention! There are hundreds of styles for women's tops out there, from sophisticated to simple. Most of us have a mixture of different types in our wardrobe, with a variety of colors and shapes. You might choose a bright and bold top for a fun, playful style, or a simple neutral for your work wardrobe. From button-down shirts to lacy camisoles, there's a top for every occasion.
The women's tops that build a wardrobe
If you were just starting with a capsule wardrobe, which separates would you choose? There are a few essentials that every woman should have because they're versatile enough to work in many different situations. A crisp white button-down is one of these. Choose a style that suits you. Shirts with V-necks and princess seams are ideal for flattering a larger bust, while a looser fit is a good choice if you enjoy the androgynous look. You'll also want a couple of vest tops; for maximum versatility, choose one in black and one in white. You could wear these alone on a warm day, or layer them under other styles. Go for lacy details on the neckline if you want to look feminine, or choose a plain vest for a more industrial look. Finally, every woman should have some T-shirts. These can be exactly what you want: Baggy or fitted, plain or with a print, showing off the logo of your favorite band. Use them as a chance to show off your personality!
Using a top to flatter your shape
Curvy girls should look out for wrap tops, which can elegantly but discreetly highlight a décolletage. Just make sure the V is not too deep or wear a cami underneath if you're going to the office. If you're straight up and down, try an off-the-shoulder style. Some come with frills or ruffles, which add details, helping to give you the illusion of curves. Pear-shaped? Try a halter top. This detail will show off your shoulders in a way that balances your lower half. Whatever you go for, put some thought into the bottom part of your outfit, too. A shapeless pair of jeans or your oldest leggings are not going to make a woman's top look good!
