What top to go with this skirt?

Hello all, I really like the look of this skirt:-

https://www.next.co.uk/style/su254377/q70239

However, I'm absolutely useless at choosing separates (I live in dresses) so what tops would go with it?

Thinking of wearing it on an evening out to a casual -ish gig with boots.

I'm 45, 5 ft 7, size 12/14, enormous boobs so have to be able to wear a decent bra, and I have a bit of a tummy which I'm a little self conscious of.

Budget - happy to go to £60 or so.

Thank you!

I have 4 skirts like this and always wear with fine knit jumpers.

I've only worn mine in good weather, because I can't work out what socks or tights to wear if I wear chunky boots with it - can someone please tell me!?!

In the winter, I wear mine with chunky Chelsea boots and tights. The skirts fall below the top of the boots.

I think maybe I have the midi version and probably should have maxi, then I won't have a tights/socks issue?

I bought the longer length steel grey Next version of this a few weeks ago. I wear it with a slouchy-ish cardi-sweater, not too chunky, and not too long (it took me ages to find the right thing Grin), a pair of silver bangles and chunky flat boots that finish under the hem of the skirt.

Thank you very much everyone!

I have a selection of wrap/ruched tops on the way as well to try

I really appreciate the suggestions

Fine knit tops on the way here as well …..

And I love them! Thankyou

I have a virtually identical skirt and I’ve never worn it because I can’t find anything that works with it! I’ve tried chunky knits, fine knits, blouses, nothing seems to look quite right. So watching these suggestions with interest.
