A hint of evening glamour!

22 replies

Themasterandmargaritas · 22/05/2009 19:02

We live a very social life, with lots of things going on in the evening, some more formal, some less. The formal I can handle and the totally relaxed night out is very easy.

I am struggling with the inbetween times, when I need a hint of glamour but not too OTT. Can you point me in the direction of the right kind of tops that I could use to dress up a pair of black trousers? I have quite a few tunics so I would love something, I don't know, sexier perhaps?

I am a size 8 and nork-less.

Bustier/corset tops come instantly to mind. They look the best of the smaller of chest, and can look really nice with black trousers (and a lovely necklace).

And this is really nice

And I think this is totally beautiful

Great suggestions thanks! I love both the Ted Baker ones and the Miss S halterneck top is divine.

Black and white together don't really work for me, neither does the corset/bandeau type, I just look like I have a scrawny chicken neck.

Any more suggestions?

so you want a top that is not a tunic nor a bustier?
