Women's work tops

The top is the part of a work outfit people actually see across a desk, so ours are cut to look considered on their own and to sit neatly under a jacket. The range covers collared shirts, blouses, draped and pleated tops, scoop and crew neck styles, cotton tees and fine knits, in sizes 4 to 18. It is built for women who dress for an office five days a week and want the pieces to work after hours too.

Shop by style

A crisp collared shirt is the backbone of a corporate wardrobe and made to tuck into a high-waisted work pant. A satin shirt softens a suit and carries from the office to dinner, while a draped or pleated style such as the Zafina Pleated Draped Top does the work of a blouse with more movement. Scoop and V-neck knits layer under tailoring in winter and stand alone in a business casual office.

Necklines that work

A button-up shirt is the safe choice for any dress code. A V-neck balances the chest and neckline without feeling low-cut, and a boat or scoop neck gives a refined finish.

If a crew neck reads too casual for your office, choose it in a finer or more fitted knit, like the Tania Crew Neck Knit, rather than a tee. Browse all shirts and blouses, knit tops and sleeveless tops to compare necklines side by side.

Tucked, untucked or layered

Tucked tops suit high-waisted pants and pencil skirts and keep the line clean through the waist. Untucked shirts suit a wide leg pant and a relaxed dress code, and are the more comfortable way to move through a long day. Layering a blazer or cardigan over a casual top makes the outfit more formal straight away.

How to shop it

Sizes run 4 to 18 across the range. If you are between sizes or buying a fitted knit, check the size guide before you order. To finish the outfit, add a work blazer and shop the rest of the workwear range.
