Tops & T-Shirts
Tops do the heavy lifting in most wardrobes, so we buy them carefully. Print tops from Naya that carry a whole outfit, scallop-edge tees and scoop tanks from Betty Basics, and shapes from Rino & Pelle that sit somewhere smarter.
The test we use at the buying shows is simple. Would you reach for it twice a week? Graphic prints, marbled ribbons and faded washes bring the interest, and the cuts stay easy and forgiving.
Necklines are worth a minute of thought. A scoop softens, a V lengthens, a square neck holds structure, and a boat neck balances the shoulders. Sleeves matter as much: petite frames suit a cropped or rolled sleeve, and a batwing forgives nearly everything. If you are torn between two tops, take the one that works with more of your wardrobe.
Prints also do more work in a small wardrobe than plains. One printed top pairs with every plain bottom you own, while a plain top needs the bottoms to bring the interest. That is why this rail leans printed, and why the plains we do stock come in shapes worth repeating.
Pair them back to our trousers and jeans or layer one under a jacket. Order online with UK delivery, or come and see the prints properly in Penarth. Screens never do Naya justice.
