Tops to wear with linen trousers

4 replies

I am looking for some everyday tops to wear with my linen trousers,nothing really dressy but something a bit more dressy than vest tops.

I am quite busty so like tunic/smock style tops.

Can anyone recommend some please? Thanks.

What are the linen trews like? Are they slim fit or baggy? Linen can be shapeless so a smock might make you look huge.

I have large norks and avoid smocks, but tunics are OK with slim fitted trousers. Vest tops can be dressed up though. and that might be better?

Do the trousers have thick pockets on the back to hide your pants?

They are wide leg trousers,quite fitted at the top then they sort of flow from the knee down? Does that make sense?

They have small pockets on the back.

Had the same problem last year, as my linens are wide legged but fitted round the bum, vest tops/tees were the only thing that looked right, they needed to be quite fitted and then i'd wear a statement necklace and maybe a 3/4 sleeved cardi. How about getting a vest/cami with a little detail rather than a plain next £5 one. Fat face usually have nice vests.
