What do you wear over a cami top (to cover your arms)?

I've a lovely beaded cami top to wear over Christmas but because I don't like showing my arms and because it will be cold I was looking for inspiration on what to wear to cover my shoulders and upper arms (or full arms).

Can anyone give me ideas please?

Thanks Smile

That looks lovely Ella.

Are cardigans or shrugs a bit of a no-no then?

Cardigans are apparently frumpy.

I bloody love them and wear one almost daily because I don't care

Are bolero cardigans (like the ones they've been selling in Hobbs forever) considered frumpy then?

I like cardies. :) About 50% of my wardtobe is cardies.
Boleros can be a bit old fashioned.

A kimono?

Ellapaella · 17/11/2017 09:47

Yes agree a nice kimono, maybe if your top has a pattern or is beaded a nice plain one.

A velvet blazer or a tuxedo blazer? Try Zara.

You could do a long line merino or cashmere cardigan (not waterfall style) in the same colour as the top if you didn’t want to wear a blazer, but the blazer plan is better.

Thanks a million for the replies. I found a lovely velvet kimono on River Island's website. It'll prove useful for a couple of tops I already have. Cheers! GinSmile

Depends on how old you are and the look you're going for. Smaller cardis look pretty grown up. Larger chunkier ones look very casual. A blazer might be a good option for looking a bit smarter and trendier.

I wear a kimono or a jacket in jersey material (big boobs so anything else makes me look too blocky).
