This is a gift for a friend and it needs to make her feel wonderful. She in in her 20s, a curvy size 10/12 but wishes that she was slimmer. She would be wearing it with black jeans. Any ideas would be gratefully received. TIA

Cos is good for 'fabulous' tops. How about this one in bright green?

I love the DVF top too. The colour is perfect.
I like the Seasalt one for me too root!
Not sure why I am drawn to the Anthropologie wrap top - It looks like she could wear it 2 different ways.

I love the anthropologie one - I spotted it but also discounted it! But it's beautiful. The DVF one linked by Cathy is lovely too imo.

The Anthropologie top is lovely.
Here are a few tops that aren't on brief! Not shirts but are silk/silk mix and jewel coloured, sounds like she's a winter and these would suit that.

DVF not pure silk

Chiffon

Would need strapless bra

So many lovely ideas! I just don't think we have quite found "the one".
Maybe I am suggesting the wrong thing. A silk top might be better. She doesn't suit high necklines though.
I know that this doesn't fit my brief at all, but what do we think about this?

I am still lusting after the Reiss one that Mrssmith linked earlier! What about any of these. m.johnlewis.com/gerard-darel-calypso-blouse/p/3148207

Have you tried Kettlewell, they do brightly coloured tops (colour analysis type clothes).

Would a silk top, rather than a buttoned shirt be a better option?
You sound like a really lovely friend.

Biba? looking at the reviews it's darker than shown so could be more emerald

Thank you all for your help - so kind!
I can't really give away too much about the circumstances, as it is not my story to tell, but it is for a specific event where she wants to be very noticeable in a good way! She feels that she looks best in jeans so the top needs to stand out.

Aww you sound lovely! Very kind of you yes, but has she hinted wanting something like this? The pink shirt above is amazing and looks chic with dark jeans, I would wear it (I'm 29) if pink suited me. Green or blue more my colours. But a loose flowy bright shirt open over a tshirt is a much older look.
