Summer tops to cover bumpy bits?

Please can I get ideas for summer tops that will skim over my tummy and upper arms, rather than clinging to them?

42, body has changed a lot in past year with onset of peri menopause. I've started to look at my diet and taking up exercise, but meantime I want to find a few tops I can feel non self conscious in for the next few months.

I'm a carer, so all my clothes are casual - stretchy harem trousers are a staple - with converse or Birkenstocks most days. I'm pale skinned so avoid overly patterned tops as it tends to look like someone's thrown up on me Grin

TIA for ideas!

I favour floaty cotton or cheesecloth with embroidery type of thing or Broderie anglaise. Zara does quite well for a gypsy kind of look, but I've also got things from Gap, Monsoon, New Look.

Thanks emmastone that's a good idea, I'll have a look. Do you wear it loose or tuck it in?

I go loose but with more fitted bottoms (denim shorts or straight jeans say).
