Next drape top. I love thee

Ok looks kinda average workwear. However avoid the advise to size down and it looks great with a pleather skinny.

Brilliant draping is very flattering over the waist.the v gives a hint of cleavage in a nice way and its long enough.

And it's cheap.

oh yes i have that top in black and grey . i am size 8 , bought a 6 . i wear with a vest underneath as dont have much boobs and i like it .

captainflash · 08/11/2015 18:31

I like it. Now in my head I am wearing to our Christmas party with pleather skinnies.
So, gurus, where do i find such leather look leggings or skinnies? And, would I look totally ridiculous? I'm 5ft 7, fairly straight with decent norks. And slim legs.
But I'm 35- too old???

BrendaandEddie · 08/11/2015 18:39

If they have a side zip put them on zipped up and YANK up. www.next.co.uk/g412108s3#145642 i had these too last year but preferred the NL ones

Thanks Brenda. We have a massive New Look by work.I will try there.
Do you think the top will be in store too? Next sizes are so bloody confusing. I think I have things from an 8-16! I'm a pretty big standard 12.

captainflash · 08/11/2015 18:51

Bog standard not big standard!! fecking auto correct

BrendaandEddie · 08/11/2015 18:51

i am a busty 12 so I ordered both but liked the oversize look of the 14 more

The 12 looked a bit like you were trying to make workwear dressy

BrendaandEddie · 08/11/2015 18:52

if i see some I will get them - can always take back

OP posts:
BrendaandEddie · 08/11/2015 18:52

( I mean i do get 14s quite often due to tits - you might well be a 10-12 in Next)

BrendaandEddie · 08/11/2015 19:15

Ugh. I can't abide a side zip. They're never quite right. I did see some in Tesco earlier but only in grey.
It'll be my mission this week. (Aside from having to do two parents' evenings. They'll cut into my shopping time!) Grin

BrendaandEddie · 08/11/2015 19:21

Report back in.

I will do. Am such a sheep. I obviously own the H&M stripy sweat too!

BrendaandEddie · 08/11/2015 19:56

oh flashy - just looked, mine are a 14 KLAXON

i think the smaller ones might have looked a bit rude

OP posts:
captainflash · 08/11/2015 20:33

Klaxon noted. I could possibly need to size up too to tuck in my tummy!

Glitteryfrog · 08/11/2015 20:40

Love shape, but make me look really musclely and shouldery.
Very odd.

ginslinger · 08/11/2015 20:50

That one with sleeves would do me well - would sort tits and arms

southeastastra · 08/11/2015 20:51

i don't like those tops, i tried a white one in topshop, they look like old lady tops

BrendaandEddie · 08/11/2015 20:53
