What tops do you wear day to day?

Im looking for some inspiration. I've always struggled with tops. I end up wearing v / scoop neck pain tshirts most of the time as I've no idea what else to wear. I dress quite casually and like to be comfortable but I'd love to look a bit more put together or even as though I've chosen my top rather than just picking up a random plain tshirt.

I struggle with most shirts as I've got big boobs, and therefore most high neck options are also out. Slogan tops are not very me and I don't love things that are too tight.

What are your go to tops for day to day comfort but which you'd be happy to be seen out to lunch in?

I am trying a broderie top this year. Not usually my style but M and S have some nice ones. Also New Look.
Also a linen shirt over a vest?

A smart tank or shell too that is not too long and looks neat. A higher neckline can look good with big boobs too, if it's like a boat neck shape?

I've discovered T-shirt dresses from Next which I'm living in at the moment. A dress does away with having to match too and bottoms. I just wear a denim jacket or a cardigan if it's chilly. Leggings if it's really chilly.

I've bought myself a broderie anglais dress this year. My first time too.

thinking about this top from M and S, though puff sleeves usually make me look like a weightlifter. Pure Cotton Broderie Puff Sleeve Blouse | M&S Collection | M&S (marksandspencer.com)

Thanks everyone. That broderie top is lovely. Tshirt dresses look amazingly comfortable but I'm not sure I could get away with them at a 16. I did used to wear boat neck tops quite a bit actually, had completely forgotten so thanks. Few things to consider now 😁

I like the idea of a loose shirt over a vest a lot!
