They can be worn open or you can button one button. Tie-front blouses also work well and fall at the right place for wearing over dresses. The long sleeved blouse looks great tied at the waist, too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-lightweight-summer-toppers#post-2038395 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 17:39:18 +0000 kkards 2038395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what about this long linen shirt tied where you would normally belt the dress?<br />not sure why the find is just showing a swatch instead of the shirt, but if you follow the find it should take you to the correct page...this being Uniqlo there are about a 1/2 dozen colors) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-lightweight-summer-toppers#post-2038352 Wed, 26 Jun 2019 13:13:11 +0000 Catmom 2038352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I grabbed a white linen shrug at TJMaxx that is similar to the BR one and will do until I get something better. Neatnic, I have a heavier cotton version of the Nic+Zoe cardigan and the shape does indeed work so a lightweight linen one looks promising. I will wear the dress out this weekend to do some shopping and see what else I see — Lisa’s kimono suggestion now has me wondering if I can find a print that would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-lightweight-summer-toppers#post-2038265 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 22:35:04 +0000 Anonymous 2038265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>printed rayon and/or silk chiffon kimonos (in two lengths : fingertip and knee length) are selling really for me this season ( I sell to &nbsp;indie fashion boutiques, garden centres, bookstores, gift shops et) and they are a really nice alternative to the ubiquitous denim jacket. &nbsp;I wore one yesterday with a pair of olive green cotton joggers and a distressed black t-shirt and wedges .&nbsp;</p> <p>I also just received this pale pink faux suede moto yesterday and love it. &nbsp; A little warm for outdoors but great in an office or indoor setting with AC.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-lightweight-summer-toppers#post-2038264 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 22:33:36 +0000 neatnic 2038264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this linen-blend NIC+ZOE sweater for this purpose -- you can wear it wrapped or tied in different ways so it's shorter on your torso.&nbsp;(Scroll through the photos for examples.)</p> <a href="https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/niczoe-4-way-lightweight-cardigan-regular-petite/3684024" rel="nofollow">https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/n.....te/3684024</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-lightweight-summer-toppers#post-2038260 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 21:34:14 +0000 texstyle 2038260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The BR cardi does look like a good option to try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-lightweight-summer-toppers#post-2038202 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 15:13:41 +0000 Catmom 2038202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kerry — the BR cardigan looks promising and they also have a linen version.

I also like linen knit cardigans S summer toppers and found a thrift shop EF one in shades of navy and denim blue that is my favorite. The marled yarn goes with anything dark blue. A favorite color would also work with this dress, such as red, pink, green or aqua. Try black, especially if you can find an accessory with both blue and black to pull everything together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-lightweight-summer-toppers#post-2038192 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 14:31:21 +0000 kerry 2038192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about these?</p> <p><a href="https://bananarepublic.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?cid=51420&#038;pcid=5032&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=425170013" rel="nofollow">https://bananarepublic.gapcana.....=425170013</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.talbots.com/apparel/sweaters/classic-dress-shrug---solid/P191067040.html?cgid=apparel-sweaters&#038;dwvar_P191067040_color=INDIGO%20BLUE&#038;dwvar_P191067040_sizeType=AC#sz=90&#038;start=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.talbots.com/appare.....38;start=1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-lightweight-summer-toppers#post-2038179 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 14:01:00 +0000 shiny 2038179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try using "shrug" as search term at shopstyle:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=shrug">https://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=shrug</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-lightweight-summer-toppers#post-2038175 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 13:51:49 +0000 Catmom 2038175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks April and Nuancedream. Denim jackets and drape front cardigans were my first thought but everything I’ve tried falls at mid to high hip and makes me look very bulky. I am a pear with quite narrow shoulders so blazers are hard to fit. I have been looking for summer shawls or even shrugs to see if they might be a solution but not seeing them in stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-lightweight-summer-toppers#post-2038169 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 13:26:56 +0000 nuancedream 2038169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Toppers are sometimes tricky when dealing with hot, humid weather. I agree with April's recommendation white jean jackets.&nbsp; I also like kimonos for more causal wear and drape front knit blazers for work wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-lightweight-summer-toppers#post-2038165 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 13:09:49 +0000 April 2038165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White jean jackets are a summer staple for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-lightweight-summer-toppers#post-2038163 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 13:03:42 +0000 Catmom 2038163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Help! I love this blue Uniqlo sleeveless linen blend dress but haven’t been able to find a topper to go with it. I like the dress best belted and everything I am seeing seems to hit at an awkward place on the hip or is too heavy for mid-80s humid weather. What is out there that I am missing?<br /> <a href="https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/women-linen-blend-a-line-sleeveless-dress-417695.html?dwvar_417695_color=COL09&#038;cgid=women-dresses-and-jumpsuits#start=11&#038;cgid=women-dresses-and-jumpsuits" rel="nofollow">https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/w.....-jumpsuits</a> </p>
