Jeans-and-a-nice-top tops?

[Curlewwoohoo]

I've lost my way with what a 'nice top' constitutes! For when you're going out for a casual meal or to a pub. Situations where jeans are fine, but a hoody isn't. And you also don't want to completely freeze!

I'm 42. I'm a size 10 and am getting quite swamped out now by all the comfy oversize type things I've ended up with. I'm slightly alternative rather than smart.
Jeans wise I've got wide leg, mom, high waist, skinny, straight leg... But I mainly wear jogger fit day to day! I do have a black velvet blazer I've had since the first 00s, if that's useful.

I usually shop on vinted but need some ideas of what to hunt out... Helpful pointers appreciated!

Forever21 is definitely a great platform to hunt for all the great collection of fashion and i am sure you will love the collection. Just don't overthink it. Grab everything you like! You can also find the Forever21 coupons

I put on a black satin blouse like this with jeans recently and DD1 asked if it was a PJ top.

Me? How?

I've just bought a velvet shirt to wear with black jeans .

This is a lovely shirt - nice colours, too and a good price.

I really like the Lipsy T shirt!

I quite like the look of this mesh top (it’s teamed with a skirt on the first photo) to jazz up a pair of jeans on a night out!

Not sure though, quite pricey but a love anything with a bit of sparkle!

You come across as a bit of a horror.
Me? How?

Iv just ordered this and it's very flattering

A halterneck top is fantastic if you're ok with strapless bras. Eg. www.silkfred.com/womens/clothing/tops/blouses/fs-collection/halter-neck-tie-back-top-in-forest-green

I think some of the other tops recommended are a bit plain and don't show off your figure.

Following a military career with lots of moving, we want to find our forever home.

Criteria as follows:
North of England (Cheshire, Derbyshire, Yorkshire)
Good secondary schools
Rural location/village vibes
Within 1hr to a city

Would love some personal recommendations, please!

You will need to start your own thread for responses to your question . I'll ask MN to move it for you .

Taking notes.

Thanks for these suggestions @Randomuser9876 I ordered both of these and the black top is perfect (and not something I would normally buy, I almost always go for scoop or v neck to avoid a monoboob)

Glad you liked them!!

Yeah I've got big boobs and black top v flattering
