Women's Tops and Tunics FAQs
How to Style Smart Casual Women’s Tops
Smart casual events can be difficult to dress for, and a favourite safe bet for many is to pair your favourite jeans with a smarter top. Opt for an elegant broderie blouse that will float loosely over your waistband or, for an evening look, a slim-fit lace top will work wonders instead.
Alternatively, switch the look up with smarter tailored trousers or palazzo pants with a plain t-shirt, finished with heels or statement flats.
Our guide to smart casual dress codes is filled with plenty more outfit inspiration.
How to Create a ‘Jeans and a Nice Top’ Outfit
‘Jeans and a Nice Top’ is such a go-to outfit formula for a range of occasions. Whether you pair your jeans with a broderie blouse and boots for a country-girl style, or with a cami and heels for drinks with the girls, choosing the right top can transform your favourite pair of jeans into a look that fits any vibe.
Just see our guide to the perfect jeans-and-a-nice-top formula to nail the look.
How to Style a Top with a Skirt
Top-and-skirt combinations are a fantastic way to play with silhouettes. Pair a fitted skirt with a flowy top, or a fitted top with a flared A-line skirt.
Alternatively, create a vintage-inspired hourglass shape by pairing a loose, flowy or A-line skirt with a flowier or puff-sleeved blouse, and tucking the blouse into the skirt to highlight the waist.
How to Style Longline Tops for Ladies
Longline tops are wonderful for elongating and streamlining, but what should you wear them with?
Slim-fitting trousers complement longline blouses and tunics well because of how they contrast with the looseness of your top. Leggings, skinny jeans or capri trousers work fabulously for this.
In summer, a longline top is the perfect breezy companion for shorts and sandals. You can even choose a top with a hemline that matches the length of your shorts, creating a super summery, relaxed bare-legged look.
How Do I Style A Tunic?
Thanks to their incredible versatility, tunics are a must-have year-round. These boho beauties can be worn as both a top and a dress, making them perfect for a capsule wardrobe.
Pair your tunic top with jeans and ankle boots for a stylish everyday look, or opt for leggings and pumps for a chic, laid-back aesthetic.
If the sun is shining, why not mix it up and wear your tunic as a dress with bare legs and sandals or with shorts underneath? When the weather gets chilly, just add a cosy layer with a knitted cardigan and boots.
Alternatively, transform your tunic into an effortless evening ensemble with the simple addition of a pair of tights and heels.

How Do I Style Women’s Shirts?
Our women’s shirts are so easy to style your way. If you need a little inspo, however, here are some of our favourite ways to wear them:
If you’re looking for smart workwear, our women’s shirts are ideal. When worn with smart trousers or a pencil skirt and a blazer, available in a rainbow of head-turning colours, you can bring a touch of personality whilst looking perfectly professional.
Women’s shirts are incredible staple pieces for layering. For perfectly preppy vibes, pop them under a mini dress or vest jumper for a stand-out look.
On sunny days, switch up your layered look by knotting women’s shirts at the waist. This fun and summery look is fabulous with high-waisted trousers and shorts.
Women’s shirts are also fabulous for smart casual events, whether it’s brunches or evening drinks with the girls, pair with jeans and heels or some smart pumps and accessories for a remarkably effortless ensemble.
Want to give your favourite shirt some boho charm? Match your ladies’ shirt with a swishy maxi skirt for a floaty, feminine look.
How to Style Women’s T-Shirts
The classic t-shirt is a staple in any woman’s wardrobe, whether you prefer a personality-packed graphic tee or a versatile plain t-shirt that pairs with almost anything.
A t-shirt and jeans might seem plain and simple, but can be remarkable with the right accessories. Add layered beads, a stylish scarf or a leather jacket to elevate the outfit in seconds.
A t-shirt can also pair well with a skirt. Try a t-shirt and maxi skirt for pretty, picnic style, or a t-shirt and mini skirt with heels for a brunching look that’s just divine.
What Women’s Tops Should I Wear in Summer?
In summer, we love a fun and flirty Bardot top. These shoulder-baring ladies’ tops are perfect for flaunting a summer tan and pair so well with your favourite maxi skirt.
Another summer favourite is the cami top, ideal for handling the heat on holiday and exposing your arms to the sunny rays. Or, if you want a casual style, try a graphic t-shirt with a vibrant sunshine-inspired print.
For a boho top option this summer, try a loose-knit crochet top. This look is fabulous for festivals!
What Women’s Tops Should I Wear in Spring?
Spring is a beautiful season, but it can be unpredictable. That’s why we choose lightweight tops with easily removable layers to handle whatever this gorgeous time of year throws at us.
Try a loose, long-sleeve blouse or a breathable jersey top with a denim jacket thrown over for warmth.
What Women’s Tops Should I Wear in Autumn?
We love to cosy up in autumn with a funnel-neck top for easy-wearing elegance. This look is ideal with jeans or a skirt and boots, topped with a blazer or military jacket.
Or how about an autumnal tunic? We tend to associate these flowy pieces with spring and summer, but a tunic top pairs beautifully with leggings, a silky scarf and a leather jacket for the ideal autumn outfit.
What Women’s Tops Should I Wear in Winter?
In winter, knitted women’s tops are a fabulous way to stay warm in style. Pair your jumper with jeans and ankle boots for seasonal chic.
Worried knitwear is too casual for your upscale winter occasions? Try a velvet top with tailored trousers and heels instead.
