Women's sleeveless tops that still look like work

A tee can feel too casual for a corporate floor, and a shirt can feel like too much in February. Sleeveless tops sit between the two. This collection covers Forcast's tank tops, shell tops, cowl and scoop necks, singlets, sleeveless collared tops and knit vests in sizes 4 to 18, for the warmer months and for layering under a jacket the rest of the year.

Which sleeveless style to choose

A structured shell or draped top, like the Shelby Draped Sleeveless Top or Sabrina Cowl Neck Top, is the most office-ready and works alone or under a blazer. A collared sleeveless top such as the Kaia Striped Collared Top gives the polish of a shirt without the sleeves. Knit tanks and vests, including the Heidi V-Neck Knit Tank and Jacinta Argyle Knit Vest, layer over a shirt in winter and stand on their own in spring. A simple V-neck singlet or scoop neck top is the weekend and under-jacket option.

Styling for the office and the weekend

For work, swap your usual shirt for a sleeveless top and wear it with tailored pants or a midi skirt and a heel. Keep a blazer on the back of the chair for meetings and cold rooms. For brunch, a high neck sleeveless top with slim jeans and flats is dressed up without trying. A sleeveless collared top with black shorts is the safe summer weekend answer.

Fabric and fit

Satin and crepe for the shell and draped styles, cotton and linen for the singlets and vests, and fine knits for the tanks. Sleeveless tops show more of the shoulder and armhole, so fit matters more than usual. Check the size guide before you order if you are between sizes.

Shopping the range

These pair with work jackets and blazers for year-round wear, and with short sleeve tops when you want a little more cover.
