I Have No Tops

[MayorNaze]

what does one wear in summer that isn't a vest top?

help :(

A floaty peasanty short sleeve blousey affair?

Lots of nice floaty white tops in Next and Zara.

floaty peasanty thing. ok. linkus pleasus.

have been staring at all and sundry out and about but they are either 17 and wearing micro flowery skirts or playsuits (no way hose) or wearing tracky 3/4 lengths and vests :(

Wear dresses!

I love floaty white tops but I look crap in them, so will watch this thread weith interest...

Blouses made of woven fabrics (cotton and rayon both breathe) are always cooler than Ts and other things in knit / jersey fabrics.

If there are good Indian shops near you you can find the most gorgeous kurtas (tunics) for not much money . . . good for casual wear but check that they are cotton and not polyester georgette.

I also look crap in white so can never work that languid Edwardian-slash- dissipated punting in Oxford in the 1930s type look, which makes me .

I can never keep clean lol

Exactly, Kitten. I aspire to a 1970s Timotei ad crossed with a Plumo catalogue but I just look like a pale, matronly blob.

For those who can wear white tops (I hate you, I hate you, I hate you :)), The White Company tend to have some very pretty cotton ones.

frocks are good

but i worry about Showing My Knicks

white is not really moi either :(

Ok, my holy grail is a floaty white top that I don't need to iron and isn't too voluminous.

Would this need ironing do you think? Also, will it shrink away to nothing? Haven't bought from White Company before.

Bwa ha ha , CBBG . . .

I think it would need ironing tbh, though I don't think it would shrink. It's likely to be huge too, so if you do try it on, size down.

Love that hair! :)

I have a lovely cap-sleeved flimsy white cotton tunicy thing from MK One that I've worn for about 9 years. It doesn't shrink or need ironing, ergo I think cheapo shops may be the way forward.

Farrah looks ace in that pic!

some nice linen tops in monsoon
