Why can't I find a bloody top to go with jeans

Just for a low key night out
To go with black jeans or coated jeans
That isn't a billowing, puff sleeve, high neck swamp
Or cropped/peplum for a teenager

It's not too much to ask is it?????

I've been eyeing this up

I like that but hate shopping from silk Fred, it's such a pita with returns

Aw that's a shame, I've never had to return anything there.

I’ve got this one in black from Lipsy at Next. Also eyeing up the burgundy one.

It’s really flattering, fitted but not tight & hits below the jeans button too.

Following!

That's nice @WalkingOnSonshine

Rumcocktailextrarum · 11/11/2021 14:44

I hear you OP. Puff sleeves suit about 0.5% of the population....if that! Peplums on the other hand - I wouldn't say they were just for teenagers. They can be very flattering, more so as a top than a dress, as long as they're not too tight. Quiz do some nice ones. Although I'm yet to receive them, so am going on photos.

@WalkingOnSonshine if you're between sizes would you recommend sizing up or down for the lipsy top?

WalkingOnSonshine · 11/11/2021 15:19

I’d go up, especially if you have big boobs.

TomAllenWife · 11/11/2021 19:05

I love the lipsy top but conscious of my crepey skin, I don't want DP staring at that all nite 🙈

Love the ASOS one too but they don't have a 10 Sad

My last going out top was from whistles and I love it - but the sleeves are slightly puffy.

ArabeI · 12/11/2021 00:13

I like Baukjen for jersey and blouses at the moment.

I have the aneira blouse which I think would suit jeans, but it's slightly puff sleeved. Also this one: www.baukjen.com/products/lorraine-top-with-lenzing-ecovero-pine-green?refSrc=6635993170001&nosto=productpage-nosto-1

Fat Face had a nice one the other day. I think it was called Gracie or something. I almost bought it, still might.

TomAllenWife · 12/11/2021 07:30

@Vohgue have you got a link to your top? I like whistles

Vohgue · 12/11/2021 07:41

@TomAllenWife it was the Blanche square neck top in black... having trouble with links sorry

TomAllenWife · 12/11/2021 07:54

Not fussed on the M&S ones

And definitely nothing from fat face

What do you want? You say what you don't like.

Fritilleries · 12/11/2021 08:24

Ebay! Lots of lovely Warehouse and Oasis tops.

Abracadabraaa · 12/11/2021 08:26

Gosh no, I don't like the m&s ones at all.

I buy all my tops from Hush, All Saints and - weirdly - Levi's. They've got some lovely ones

overthethamesfromyou · 12/11/2021 08:31

I like that Baukjen one, do they come up big or small do you know?

Vohgue · 12/11/2021 08:48

I want the lipsy one now.
