Good luck in your search.&nbsp; Often you can get a bit dressier, updated tops for not much more than you would spend on a tshirt, and why not look great and updated everyday? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-to-replace-tees-with#post-1030685 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 07:23:01 +0000 lyn67 1030685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Mo!

It opens up a swag of possibilities. Mostly the tops have a lined bodice and single layer sleeves. I'm on my iPad and can't hyperlink to show you examples, sorry 'bout that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-to-replace-tees-with#post-1030634 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 05:02:16 +0000 Carolyn 1030634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the great ideas.

It is *really* light cotton and then I roll the sleeves to 3/4 length. I love it - I do not wear stiff button down shirts very often. I like juxtaposition so I wear it with something tough/masculine like my boyfriend jeans or cut off shorts. </p> <p>Not sure if the picture will show up or not, but here is the link:<br /> <a href="http://www.eddiebauer.com/catalog/product.jsp?ensembleId=45026&#038;catPath=&#038;viewAll=n&#038;pg=1&#038;cmPathInfo=T307" rel="nofollow">http://www.eddiebauer.com/cata.....hInfo=T307</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-to-replace-tees-with#post-1030434 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 23:06:21 +0000 Mo 1030434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe some mixed media tops? &nbsp;I have this from Old Navy (1)&nbsp;a few seasons ago that is knit in the back and woven in the front. &nbsp;And then there is the cloud print from Ceit/Una (2) with woven front panel and knit back and sleeves. &nbsp;The knit backs offer ease while the woven fronts dress them up a bit.<br />Alternately, a knit with a banded bottom (4-6) could offer you just a hint of structure that you are needing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-to-replace-tees-with#post-1030424 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 22:48:03 +0000 annagybe 1030424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Knit button down?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-34-sleeve-drapey-knit-button-front-shirt/id_245890">http://www.landsend.com/produc...../id_245890</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tops-to-replace-tees-with#post-1030422 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 22:45:55 +0000 Carolyn 1030422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While sorting through my closet, I've realized it's time to upgrade my casual uniform of a v-neck tee with a tank underneath. I don't like the way they cling, especially when it's hot out and I'm just not comfortable in them anymore. I just don't know what to replace them with that will be almost as easy to throw on. I know I've read on here in the past (it's been a couple of years since I've been on here so I'm rediscovering everything) to go with woven tops for a more refined look. The first thing that comes to my mind of course is a button down which doesn't really fit my lifestyle. I do realize there must be a ton of other options out there but I don't even know where to start. I have plenty of sweaters and jackets for when it's cooler but it's still quite hot here. The only woven shirts I currently own are a few button downs that I rarely wear and some sleeveless tops that I like but I don't wear sleeveless by itself so I have to throw a cardigan over the top which negates the coolness factor obviously!  </p> <p>If I could get some specific examples of what I should be looking for (short sleeve or 3/4) that would be easy to wear with jeans and casual skirts that would be a big help.<br /> Thank you!<br /> Eta: I'd rather not have to tuck in </p>
