Here’s a collection of tops that are generally easy to wear, style and launder. Many are winners on clients, and many have good reviews. There are lots of natural fibres, and some petite sizes too. Tops are less basic than a simple solid tee. There are fantastic neckline and sleeve details. Some have parties at the back. Some items are on sale. The shorter tops work particularly well with skirts.
Notably, the Sanctuary Perfect T-Shirt looks best in the darker and richer colours. Tommy Hilfiger does surprisingly great cotton tops. My favourite cotton button down shirts are from Ralph Lauren, and I have all the blues and blue stripes. Very crisp and polished. They run narrow so size up. Boden’s fits, bright colours, and quality are fantastic. Madewell is doing boho-lite particularly well. Lots of pretty details from Nic & Zoe. Some tops have matching bottoms to create sets, so browse the options if that appeals to you.
Uniqlo’s Shirring Boat Neck Sleeveless T-Shirt from Uniqlo has been a hit with clients to wear as a layering top, or on its own. You can wear it fluidly like the models, or size down for a fitted look. The fabric is comfortable, forgiving, and practical. It works on petite and tall clients, and looks good with Summery pants and skirts.
