FOUND: THE TRENDS YOUR GOING OUT TOPS NEED

Skirts had their moment this summer but now it’s time for tops to have their turn in the spotlight. We’re slowly but surely approaching party season and nothing says “party” quite like jeans and a nice top. We’ve worn the formula forever but there are four key styles dominating top trends right now. You (and your wardrobe) need to know about these.

Ruching


Simple but impactful, ruching is having a major moment this season. From draped smart t-shirts to asymmetric ruched bodysuits like this one, elevate the plainest outfits with some ruching. Not only does the excess fabric create a flattering silhouette on every body, it also manages to stay understated and cool regardless of how form fitting it can be. With the bodysuit especially, jeans are a no-brainer. Choose a straight leg pair and your highest heels to get into the party mood.

The Halter Neck


A little nostalgic and a lot slinky, the halter neck is an ode to all things 2000s from your year 6 school disco to Marissa Cooper in every episode of the O.C. The style was set up to symbolise a good time and, thankfully, it’s stuck. Wear yours with literally anything from jeans for a date night dinner, to mini and maxi skirts for any late night plans you’ve got in the diary. To go full noughties, make your jeans low rise or your skirts barely there.

The Bandeau


Look mum! No straps. The boob tube has been reborn into the it girl’s going out essential – and rechristened as the "bandeau". Free of fussy sleeves, the bandeau has an effortlessly cool vibe thanks to its sleek design, making it perfect for more low-key plans. Drinks with friends or small dinner parties are where this top trend shines. Pair with wide leg cargo trousers to play with proportions and keep your friends on their toes.

The Ruffle Blouse


Forget everything you thought you knew about blouses. No longer chained to the 9-5, a blouse is now appropriate for late nights and bad decisions. Hit the town in a sheer, ruffled number, slipping a lacy bra in any colour you like underneath for some [peek-a-boo] fun. The black and white keeps it classic and helps you to build an outfit easily. Balance out more coverage up top with a cute mini skirt and knee-high boots down below.
