A Woman’s Fashion: Tops, Part I
Think tops for women are just one category of clothes? Wrong! In fact, fashion tops for women come in a variety of styles. This is obvious to the fashion designers of the world, but perhaps less so to the rest of us. Without further ado then, Beverly Lane brings you the top seven tops from the world of women’s fashion:
#1 A woman’s fashion: The strapless top
Strapless tops are simple but effective. Usually reserved for nighttime or daytime formal wear, the strapless top is a great choice for the warmer months when you won’t miss the extra material. Go for a simple one-color look with a body-hugging shape for maximum impact.
#2 A woman’s fashion: The one shoulder top
The asymmetrical look really gives one shoulder tops a quirky, fun sensibility. The one shoulder top is a great choice for a fun, lighthearted outing like a Sunday in the park or a daytime concert or music festival. Some stripes or a bold print will complete the look.
#3 A woman’s fashion: Vests and camis
Vests and camis are a bankable favorite when you want a cute look for summer, say for a day at the beach. They can look ultra-girly with a loose fit and a flowery print, or more sleek, modern and athletic with a body-hugging fit and stripes.
#4 A woman’s fashion: The T-shirt
What can you say about the T-shirt that hasn’t been said a million times before? Not much! Except that they’re a casual tops fashion classic on par with the mighty blue jeans. Grab a graphic print for a fun look, or opt for a looser fit and some frills for more of a pretty/girly look. Either way you’ll look great.
#5 A woman’s fashion: The tunic top
Tunics are so versatile, they’re always a safe bet if you’re not sure how formal you want to be. Perfect for a date or a night out with the girls, they also combine really well with almost any accessories. We like the look of a close-fitting tunic in a colorful fabric with some chunky jewelry, but try your own ideas – you’ll find it’s pretty hard to go wrong!
#6 A woman’s fashion: Shirts and blouses
Shirts and blouses are, of course, a wardrobe staple, especially for work wear and smart casual and formal ensembles. You can never have too many of these tops! Keep a couple in basic black and flat white, and some with a colorful pattern or print too.
#7 A woman’s fashion: The long sleeved top
Long sleeved t-shirts and tops are perfect for those transition months of the year when you need the extra warmth of a sleeve. They’re also great under a jacket for when the temperature really drops. Don’t forget that the long sleeved top category includes the hoodie, which is perfect for a comfortable, casual occasion like a mid-week trip to the movies, and the cardigan, which works so well for long nights in. It’s always handy to have a comfy long sleeved top on hand for when you need to run to the store in the morning for bread and milk as well
