Going out top to wear with jeans

40 replies

usernumber284 · 10/03/2025 18:46

I'm looking to update my wardrobe a little, and replace my usual Saturday date night outfit. I feel like I always wear the same, which is, jeans and a semi sheer black blouse which I love. I've bought some lovely new jeans, and would like a lovely blouse or top to wear with them but can't find anything I like. I'd like it to be quite 'eveningy', not a white shirt, or jumper, something a bit more dressed up. I'm 5'4" and size 10/12, and the jeans are quite dark blue, wide leg, can wear them with trainers or with heeled boots. Open to all sorts of suggestions. I love halter neck sleeveless tops once the weather is a bit better, but don't like sitting in a restaurant or bar with a jacket on so for now I'm looking for something with a sleeve. Thank you for any ideas!

I have this in the long sleeve version, and it’s SO versatile - it’s the most used item in my wardrobe and always gets so many compliments. I love that it’s cotton, too. It comes in lots of colours in the long sleeve.

I've got this, it works well with wide legs and with skirts as it has an elasticated hem....

I'm loving the look of this but not seen IRL as I live in the back of beyond and see mostly sheep.

I love the TU red shirt.. I’m 2 minutes walk away so I’ll have a look!

What about this sort of top? Long sleeved but dressy for the evening. Only £8.99 from Shein and comes in loads of different colours. SHEIN

You can't go wrong with Love and Roses, Next have a sale on just now but it's always worth frequently checking the Clearance part of their website.

I absolutely love this top!! I'm horribly tempted!

I’ve just ordered this for going out, it’s the brand Friends Like These but from Next. It looks good with jeans, trousers and skirts - it’s quite a thick structured fabric.

I’ve been able to avoid any temptation because I know those huge sleeves annoy me. I just love the colour and the neckline though - stunning.

I know what you mean about the sleeves but I think I could overlook that just for the whole look of the top! Gorgeous.

White Floral Embroidered Blouse 18

They had this in our local Sainsbury (online shows navy or white but I'm sure there were other colours )

It's quite wide though which is why I only looked .

That Tu blouse is gorgeous in real life @70isaLimitNotaTarget.
I've just bought it - the flowers give it a 3D effect and if looks a lot more expensive than it is.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 30/03/2025 12:47

It did look lovely @Cantonet .
I have a similar long sleeved blouse ( years old ) in white .

IIRC there was whjite , navy, red and a cornflower blue in store (but that might 've been different blouses )
