Help me find a top for this skirt

10 replies

RaggieDolls · 01/07/2020 07:27

I really like this skirt but I'm clueless about a top. Generally I wouldn't choose to tuck a top in. I love the look of camisoles but I'm a size 14 so not thin and I burn really easily so tend to cover my shoulders.

The top they've chosen for the model isn't very summery as it creates a black outfit.

Help please!

What a bargain, I’ve just bought this too after seeing your post!

I’m thinking a close-fitting or maybe flowy silky t-shirt (so no need to tuck in?) in any of the colours you can pick out from the skirt might work? If it fits, I’m going to wear it in the winter with a tight-ish black knit and black boots (it would great with a polo neck, sadly I look like Baby Jane in those...) Summer is harder to style I think, but can be done!

I’d wear a vintage rock t-shirt with it.

That's a nice skirt. I think tucking a top in gives you more of a waist so I always do. I also think the top in that pic is perfect but if you're not keen on sleeveless, why not pick out one of the lighter colours in the skirt and find a fitted t shirt of that colour to wear with it?

Fairly close fitting black or white t-shirt? With trainers.
Will be great in Autumn with boots and a black jumper/turtle neck and a biker jacket.

@readwritelove it's a fab price isn't it. I agree it can be worn in winter. I think I'd find it easier to style it with boots and a black long sleeved top.

@Buggedandconfused. That would look amazing. I wish I was as bold with my clothes. I don't think I could carry it off. I suspect I'm a bit too boring with my clothes.

I think you're right about a white tee @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie. It would dress it down a little which is what I think I want.

Despite complaining that I don't like having my shoulders uncovered I have ordered this to try with it. I'm not sure I'm going to like it so I think a fitted tee will be a good back up.

I wish I was brave enough to team a rock tee with a printed skirt, too! I do love that look...

@RaggieDolls Did you buy the skirt? Did you like it? I received mine today but it wasn’t for me. The shape was too narrow on me and I think I need something fuller...

I missed the delivery!!!! I'll have to wait until Monday to report back...!

I'd wear a thin black knit or black turtle neck with that in the autumn.

Rock t-shirt is a good call. Nothing floaty.
