Can anyone find me a top to sex up a pair of skinnies? And quick?!

Hi,

So I'm a size 10, quite broad shoulders, which can either be an attractive feature or make me look like an American football player, depending on what top or dress I wear Confused

V neck or scallop neck seems to be the most flattering, but NOTHING round neck. I have D cup boobs, so not massive, but that cut just does nothing for me with the shoulders too.

Anyway, not been shopping for ages! Going out on Wednesday night and I don't want to end up buying a whole new outfit, so I'm happy with a pair of skinnies, but could do with a really nice, sexy, fitted top. Not too short, not too long. Can't seem to find anything which doesn't look shapeless!

I'll probably wear a black or coral blazer over the top.

Oh and yeah, I need it ASAP.

TIA Smile

I'm the same size with broad shoulders and halter necks seem to suit me.

They're very much hit or miss on me, Za

Can look really nice and emphasise my shoulders or over emphasise and make me look unbalanced.

Should put out that I don't have endless to spend. Definitely under £50.

I would think that halter neck would emphasise broadness of shoulders.

I usually consider warehouse my go-to for going out tops, if I need it to be quick and easy - it’s fairly good quality for what you pay. I always seem to find something in the sale which makes it even better value.

I would pick something like this, but obviously I don’t actually know what you like and what styles you tend to wear. Also depends whether you’re wearing black skinnies or denim. I don’t know whether these are sexy or tight fitting enough for you, but I tend towards subtle sexiness, if you like.

There’s not actually as much right now as I thought there would be, but then I tend to buy my going out wear from them at Christmas time when there’s loads of ‘party’ stuff with a little embellishment and so on.
