Sleeveless Tops

Women's sleeveless tops

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 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 style to choose

A structured shell or draped top, like the Shelby Draped Sleeveless Top or the Sabrina Cowl Neck Top, is the most office-ready and works alone or under a blazer. A collared style 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 the Jacinta Argyle Knit Vest, layer over a shirt in winter and stand on their own in spring. A plain V-neck singlet or scoop neck is the weekend and under-jacket option.

What to wear it with

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

Fabric and fit

Satin and crepe run through the shell and draped styles, cotton and linen through the singlets and vests, and fine knits through the tanks. Because the shoulder and arm are on show, the armhole and strap width do more work than usual: a wider shoulder covers a bra strap and reads neater at work, while a narrow strap sits flatter under a jacket.

How to shop it

Sizes run 4 to 18. If you are between sizes, check the size guide, and size for the shoulder and bust rather than the waist on fitted shells. For the knit versions, see knit tops and vests; for the layer that goes over the top, see jackets and blazers. The newest arrivals sit in new tops.
