Tops with texture fabric

[parietal]

can anyone help me find smart tops for work. I have a couple I love that are fine knit fabric with interesting texture. One from NoaNoa has a knit pattern around the neck. Another has a knit pattern 3 inches high around the waist. Both are comfy like a t shirt but just a bit smarter and so good for work.

I’ve been looking online for similar tops but “textured” doesn’t seem to be a category and I can’t find anything.

any recommendations? Also I have a strong preference for natural fabric - not polyester or elastane.

thanks

You could try a search for pointelle tops.

tha but pointelle isn’t what I’m looking for. I want a fine cable knit or similar but only on part of the fabric.

Why don't you take good clear photos of each of your tops, either laid flat or - better - on a hanger, & then do a Google search for similar images? It might bring up other tops that you like?

Not sure if any of these fit the bill as they don't really match your descriptions. Not sure what colours or budget you had in mind either.

La Redoute's often good for this kind of thing. It's between seasons at the moment. Unsure whether you'd like this - it's cotton and reduced to £20.

Also La Redoute. They have several of these slightly ethereal cotton knits.

I used to buy from La Redoute quite a bit when I was in my late 20s/30s. It had some really good collaborations at times.

Do you know if it's any good these days?

Yes, I still buy from them. It can be hit and miss, especially with sizing, but their returns service is good. Product information's reliable. I've never seen bad workmanship - though I have avoided some purchases, thanks to their demanding reviewers!

Good to know, thanks!

Comes in various colours & patterns.
