I just got these trousers which I love but they are a bit of a departure for me as I am a pear shape who usually avoids patterned bottoms. I am trying to be a bit braver post weight loss.
What would you put with them ?The model just has a white vest top but I don't tend to wear no sleeves in public but then wonder if a t shirt will make it all a bit hard f a curtainy look !
Any ideas ?

My dd had trousers very similar to these on today. She wore them with a loose, black, sleeveless top. I’m sure a short sleeved, black, t shirt would work 🤷🏻‍♀️ Try out a few different style tops and see what works for you 😊

I would also wear with a white vest top....the trousers are baggy harem style so I would need the top to be fitted ( I’m a size 8)

Definitely a fitted top, or a crop top, ideally in white/off-white.
You want to create a feminine silhouette so I'd steer clear from anything baggy on top.

And well done on your weight loss xx

If you do t want to wear the vest on its own what about one of these mesh kimonos?

You can get them in black white and nude

Thanks for all the replies and sorry for my gibberish at the end of my post - I think you all got my drift.
I am late 40s so can't carry a crop top off and a mesh kaftan might be beyond my bravery but I do totally agree its needs something closer fitting if possible . I have some black tops and maybe a coral t shirt that's quite fitted I can start off by trying on.
I just need to make sure I actually wear them instead of just bravely buying them to languish in my wardrobe.
Thanks for the ideas !

You could wear the Kayan thing over the vest like a jacket

Ooh they are lovely. Would you wear cap sleeves? Those tshirts that look like they have a bit of shoulder padding would look good and balance out the hips I think but stick to white or black.

I've just ordered that kimono in black and nude Smile

Thanks all I must give some options a try. I do also have a very snug denim jacket that might work with them.

Ooh @BrownEyedGirl80 I must admit for the price I am tempted to give one a try ! They could be really versatile !

They are gorgeous!
An off white basic linen top with sleeves would be my choice.

Yes your denim jacket will work well!
