I bought this in the Oliver Bonas sale last year and just brought it out when switching around my wardrobe….

https://www.oliverbonas.com/fashion/ombre-yellow-stripe-plisse-midi-skirt-358700#selection.color=2002

I can’t find any top that works with it.

(To me) Black looks wrong. White looks too cool. I tried to pick out a colour from the skirt (lilac) and it just looked so costume-y, if that makes sense.

I thought it would be great to just chuck on- but it’s so tricky.

Any ideas?

Ombre Yellow Stripe Plisse Midi Skirt | Oliver Bonas

This summer midi skirt blends soft summery shades of yellow, pink and blue. With a plisse structure creating a flowy, relaxed silhouette, it's easy to wear with a cropped vest top or a t-shirt for summer style.

Kelly green jumper or top would really make the colours pop. Loads around high street at the minute

Or maybe i need to think beyond ‘a top’

A black crop top sandwiched between some pastel yellow sunglasses, or a coloured bag might work.

hmm

The skirt is quite busy so I'd wear a very simple, casual t shirt with it. Plain grey marl for example. Or a cami vest in beige maybe

eacapade1982 · 01/02/2024 00:17

Yes, how about grey?

eacapade1982 · 01/02/2024 00:18

Or navy, might work better than black

RobinGet · 01/02/2024 00:19

A dark purple or dark blue Bardot style top might work.

BoxOfPaints · 01/02/2024 00:22

A light wash denim shirt would be good, I think, or a white cotton shirt. Perhaps layer a denim shirt over a white or cream t-shirt?

Renamed · 01/02/2024 00:23

Denim shirt, white/pale t-shirt?

Renamed · 01/02/2024 00:24

Oops cross post!

Pourmeacupofhope · 01/02/2024 00:27

A nude-toned pale pink (cool toned?) My night light setting thing is on my phone atm so might not be the best for judging colours rn. Metallic vest in warmer weather?

bridgetreilly · 01/02/2024 01:32

Grey or cream.

semideponent · 01/02/2024 04:02

bright turquoise blue to give some energy to the pastel shade in the skirt?

Garlicnaan · 01/02/2024 04:26

A mid - dark grey cropped sweatshirt? Dress it down a bit

celebrityskin · 07/02/2024 19:17

grey r shirt or vest

Radradrad · 08/02/2024 16:12

Black vest top (I like bodysuit ones that clip under so you don't have to keep tucking it in) also grey t shirt as others have suggested. And some canvas trainers?

Jasmin1971 · 08/02/2024 16:17

Silver tank top and a yellow bag

Fitandfree · 08/02/2024 18:50

Cream

Almahart · 08/02/2024 18:57

Denim

jolies1 · 08/02/2024 19:26

Grey tshirt or sweatshirt and white leather trainers

user1471519902 · 08/02/2024 20:20

Purple or indigo such a pretty skirt.

Pancakedayisthebest · 08/02/2024 20:27

I'd go a pale pink chenille jumper
