It used to be so simple in 2000s, with lots of shell tops. I sort of have to wear a smart jacket - it’s very cold with aircon. Vests or camis are not appropriate if I need to take the jacket off. A sleeveless blouse or short sleeve jumper would be ideal. V neck, bow blouse with V neck, square or not too high round neck, I am not keen on collars or patterns or overly warm colours, my pallette is cool neutral, with blue and burgundy as accents. I literally cannot find anything at reasonable prices. Not keen on Vinted for this.

I have a few tops from ‘the set’ at next which are perfect for this

Does it have to be a blouse? I wear Zara fitted v neck t shirts under my blazers. Super comfortable and look both smart and current.

I was going to suggest The Set too. I have sets of short sleeved jumpers that I wear under blazers.

I’m loving marks at the moment!

I wear a black or navy crew neck fitted t-shirt with a blazer. It's smart enough and very comfortable. Is that an option?

Thank you for the comments. No, it does not, though I love a smart blouse. Please could you share a link to your exact tops? Thank you.

Uniqlo U crew neck t-shirts, 100% merino wool fine knit jumpers (long or short sleeve) or sometimes a button down shirt or pie crust collar blouse.

I also have some silk tops from Boden which are good under a jacket but are ancient, I should get a few more.
