I have one top already but it's not very summery, what do people wear with them?

Vest top, sloppy off the shoulder t shirt? Maybe knotted at the waist to bring it in

I have a black chiffony top with gathered waist and bat wing sleeves- I look like Aladdin apparently Grin

Skinheadmermaid · 03/05/2014 18:09

If they are the high waisted kind a crop top would look nice. I always wore a black camisole type vest or a patterned vest tucked in.

Marmaladecat1 · 03/05/2014 18:37

Do you mind me asking where you got your trousers?
I'm on the look out for some.

Busymumto3dc · 03/05/2014 18:38

Next have some

Does anyone own a pair btw? I am eyeing them up as they come in petite

Crutchlow35 · 03/05/2014 18:57

The next ones have been talked about quite a lot on here. Feedback is good. Lots of posters have more than one pair. I do like them but I am 16/18 so just not sure.

itiswhatitiswhatitis · 03/05/2014 18:58

Thanks for the ideas!

I got the next one's in black they fit really nicely although I did have to go down a size as Next ones seemed to come up massive!

Ty I think I will try a pair

Petite ones only seem to come in black which is a shame

itiswhatitiswhatitis · 03/05/2014 19:08

On the upside though busy I wore the black ones with a pair of heels for a night out so you can atleast dress them up!

Are you a Winter ? If so, then maybe something like a white top, or a patterned top but mostly with white, and tiny tiny amount of black to give the monochrome look. It'll be nice if it is in some kind of summery materials like a floaty fabric.

Secretsquirrel13 · 03/05/2014 19:26

Eve from the allwornout blog wears them with silk camis from topshop and I always like that look.

nikki1978 · 03/05/2014 19:30

I wear them with a black vest and denim jacket (fitted one). Oh and flat sandals. Maybe a bright scarf.

nikki1978 · 03/05/2014 19:31

I have the next ones. They are lovely and comfy and don't have the elasticated cuff on the bottom so look less like exercise wear and are more flattering.

Busymumto3dc · 03/05/2014 19:31

Aside from heels or sandals what shoes do people wear with them? Ballerinas?

Gremlingirl · 03/05/2014 19:35

I am very short (just five feet tall) and I bought the Next petite ones in black then ordered the normal ones to try on in the splodgy pattern. They fit fine, rather bizarrely, because they kind of ruche up and look lovely so don't be put off by lack of petite sizes! I really love them.

nikki1978 · 03/05/2014 19:36

Yes to ballerinas

I think heels or boots would look awful

Busymumto3dc · 03/05/2014 19:37

Ty for that gremlin!

TheFairyCaravan · 03/05/2014 19:38

I wear mine with quite fitted tops because other wise I just look wrong.

I have got the navy woven t-shirt, that I wear with the floral and smudge print ones.

A woman on holiday wore this vest with the smudge print ones on the plane.

Busymum I wear ballet flats, sandals or flip flops with mine.

Gremlingirl · 03/05/2014 20:49

Ha ha Fairy - we have a long flight coming up and that's exactly what I am planning to wear on the plane. MN approved flight outfit!

frankietwospots · 03/05/2014 21:54

Have ordered both tops - thanks Fairy!

Boltonlass1972 · 04/05/2014 08:49

Looking at Fairy's link..ARE BLOCK HEELS COMING BACK?!

Blackjackcrossed · 04/05/2014 09:33

I love those block heels, sadly the metallic version isn't leather and my feet would weep - literally!

momb · 04/05/2014 09:39

erm, an off the shoulder sparkly bra and shoes with curled up toes?

JohnCusacksWife · 04/05/2014 11:53

I've got the Next ones in black (which I had to size down) and the splodgey print (which I didn't). I love them...they are so comfy and easy to wear. I wear mine with vest tops or slouchy t shirts and converse during the day or silk jersey top and heels at night. Love them.

itiswhatitiswhatitis · 04/05/2014 13:15

I've just found a few oasis vest tops in my summer clothes box that I've just pulled out of storage that go quite nicely. Yay!
