Where to look for 'nice' tops

[Extrapepperoni]

Hello MN, seeking your style advice! I'm looking for nice tops to wear with jeans and heels for socialising - think drinks with friends / date night, that kind of thing. Brands on my list are:

• Reiss
• Whistles
• Cost
• Oasis
• & Other Stories

Happy to spend up to £75 on nice tops but looking for materials that aren't polyester and have a bit more of a luxe look and feel to them.

If it makes a difference, i'm 5'2 and a curvy size 10.

Thank you!

It's getting harder and harder to find non-polyester 'nice' tops. Personally, I love a silk blouse, and over the years have bought from Cos, Massimo Dutti, & Other Stories, and Equipment (this one secondhand on eBay).

I'm no good with textures sorry, but I wonder from your list if you'd like Anthropologie?

Also Jigsaw

I'm currently trying to decide if I can justify this on a T-shirt, but I really like these silk tops is a simple t shirt style. Classic and understated but the t short style gives it a bit of "youth" IMO.

I'm trying to find a cheaper version which doesn't look to shiny and satin-y!

Thanks all! Adding to my list of 'nice top shops'! Keep them coming...

@Hereforthedramaz - £97 for what is fundamentally a t-shirt is hard yards! Good luck!! It is pretty though and would be effortlessly chic. Would want to be haha...

Lol damn, I was kind of hoping you say what on earth are you waiting for, but it now it's an absolute bargain!!

Not sure if Land's End is your vibe but they do mostly natural materials.

Me+Em, Brora have some really nice tops made from natural, quality fabrics. Me+Em is more trendy and they have several tops I have been eyeing up. Also Paul Smith on sales, their t-shirts are made from really nice, thick (but not sweaty) cotton. They are very casual.

Anthropologie I was so tempted by a top in there the other day, but too pricey for me. Will have to go a birthday present.

It looks even better in real life.

Repeat cashmere do lovely silk tshirts but they might be more then £75.

Also, Compagnia Italia and Tara Jarmon.

The M&S Autograph silk T-shirts are really nice, I've tried one on before.

You could look for sandwashed silk if you don't want a shiny finish.
