About Women's Tops
Women's tops: a slightly oversized long-sleeve shirt, a loose-fit linen-cotton shirt, a sleeveless wool jumper with V-neck, a lightweight knit turtleneck and dresses in halter-neck, one-shoulder and satin slip styles. Choose a shirt for warm days and a knit for cold ones. For knits alone, see women's knitwear.
How to choose women's tops
Shirts
The slightly oversized long-sleeve shirt for weekends and the office; the loose-fit linen-cotton shirt for heat. Both are cut roomy by design, so size by the shoulder.
Knits
The lightweight turtleneck with ribbed cuffs and hem under a blazer or coat; the sleeveless wool V-neck jumper over a shirt.
Dresses
The halter neck maxi with adjustable straps and back zip for daytime; the satin slip dress with cowl neckline for evenings; the one-shoulder bodycon maxi in stretch fabric for the most fitted option.
Pairing
Oversized shirt tucked into the wide-leg trousers; turtleneck under the cropped collarless blazer; slip dress under the trench with kitten heels.
Fit
'Slightly oversized', 'loose fit' and 'lightweight' are named in titles. The bodycon dress is close-fitting by design; the halter neck has adjustable straps.
Fabric in one line
Cotton and linen-cotton for the shirts, wool for the sleeveless jumper, a fine knit for the turtleneck, satin and stretch fabric for the dresses; each title names it.
Caring for the range
General guidance: cotton and linen-cotton shirts take a cool machine wash; the wool jumper and the fine knit want a cold hand wash and a flat dry; the satin slip dress wants a hand wash or dry clean. The care label on each piece takes precedence.
Sizing in one line
Shirts: size by the shoulder. Knits: usual size. Bodycon: usual size, it is meant to fit close. Halter neck: the straps adjust.
Colour
Plain tones dominate this edit, so each top goes with the wide-leg trousers and the mini skirts in women's clothing without planning.
FAQ
Which top works under a blazer?
The lightweight turtleneck with ribbed cuffs and hem: fine enough not to add bulk at the shoulder.
Is the linen-cotton shirt see-through?
It is a loose-fit, light fabric; in white or cream wear a skin-tone layer underneath. Fabric weight is on the product page where known.
Which dress can I wear in daytime?
The halter neck maxi dress. The satin slip and the one-shoulder bodycon are evening pieces.
Should I size down in the slightly oversized shirt?
If you want it close to the intended loose line, take your usual size; sizing down pulls the drop shoulder up onto the shoulder.
