Different Types Of Tops

There are so many different women's tops around that it can be difficult to know which is which and when to wear them. This guide will help you sort your tunics from your blouses and get a gorgeous polished look!

Different tops styles work best on different body shapes, and for a variety of occasions. This guide will help you select the right accessories to tailor every top to your own body shape.

Top T-shirts

T-shirts are a definite wardrobe staple, whether it's for sport, relaxing or a cute and quirky style for casualwear we all have at least a few tees. Your basic t-shirt is more practical than stylish, although there are some more fashionable styles out there. Choose cute styles with embellishment or customised tees for a stylish twist.

Terrific Tunics

The tunic is a particularly versatile style that works for a whole range of body shapes; generally speaking a tunic will be a loose fitting top that falls to at least the hip. A tunic with waist belt is ideal for hourglass body shapes. If you're more of an apple then the general tunic shape can skim your stomach and make you appear slimmer around your middle. Tunics look fantastic with skinny jeans or leggings and longer styles can even be worn with tights for a more dress-like look. Plus size tunics are also a great choice for curvy girls.

Stylish Shirts

Despite the shapeless styles we had to wear at school, a shirt can give a fabulous shape, just choose a fitted style to make the most of your curves. Shirts come in a whole range of styles and colours, including relaxed, casual styles that look great with jeans. Collared shirts are perfect for balancing out bigger hips, choose a low buttoned shirt if you have a bigger bust to make you appear slimmer and draw the eye down. Shirts for ladies with a bigger chest can be hard to come by, so you could be best looking for a specialist retailer for curvy sizes.

Gypsy Tops

A gypsy top is a great way to get this season's bohemian style; often in floaty fabrics this gorgeous style looks best with maxi skirts or jeans in summer. Just add a pair of on trend gladiator sandals for the perfect gypsy look.

Vest Tops

Vest tops or camis are an absolute summer staple, whether a simple jersey style or a more structured linen cami this style is a must in warmer months and looks fantastic with a whole range of summery styles. In colder months a vest can look fantastic layered with other tops for a warmer feel.

Longline Tops

If you're not too keen on your hips then a longline top could be just the thing to give you body confidence. Longer tops skim a lot of people's problem areas to give a smoother silhouette, much like a dress. They're also great for wearing with waist belts as they have plenty of length and won't ride up. Choose a longline vest and shorts for a sweet and stylish summer look that's easy to chuck on at the beach.

So know you should be able to tell your different styles of tops apart, so enjoy building a wardrobe with a wide variety of styles and shapes to suit you, whilst being fabulously stylish!
