How to Style: You can pair your favourite cotton top with jeans and sneakers for an effortless look or tuck your cotton top into a pair of high slung trousers for the smart-casual look.
When to Wear: Out with friends, a casual weekend, or running errands.
Formal tops provide your wardrobe with a level of sophistication due to their clean lines, minimal prints, and elegant details such as collars, pleats, or buttons, as well as being made from fabrics such as chiffon, crepe, or silk so they provide polish and professionalism.
Popular Styles: Button-down shirts, wrap tops, structured blouses.
How to Style: You can wear these tops with tailored pants, pencil skirts, or straight trousers. Add a blazer for a polished office look.
