Our advice on getting a good going out top? Get in there early. Nailing a reliable top, one that you know will go with everything, will save you hassle in the long run. Not only will you avoid the panicked, last minute dash around the shops on the eve of your next big dinner or occasion, identify the right top that works for your party dressing needs and you’ll get the season out of it. Shop wisely and it’ll be the kind of top you can pull out year upon year. Especially, say, for instance, if you know you always gravitate towards silky camisoles, boho blouses or asymmetric shapes in classic prints such as polka dots. The below tops can be paired with jeans (see the denim styles we love here) and square-toe boots (still the cool-girl outfit of choice that’s chic but, nevertheless, insouciant); layer perfectly with great blazers, or shackets, and contrast nicely with mannish double-breasted coats. Note: the popularity of brown this season has infiltrated both silky slip tops and bandeau styles as a chic alternative to navy or black. Shop the best going out tops below.
