Answer Me Chic: Top Your Winter

April 24, 2012 in Fashion

With Winter popping its head around the corner, we received a tweet from Steph of Lipstick & Cake:

“Hi @ShopMeChic! I need your help. Looking for casual tops for winter (not jumpers though). Suggestions?”

Winter is the best season for layering, so a big thick jumper is not always necessary. Here are some gorgeous Winter tops that you can make work for you…

Raglan Tees

Cute and casual, raglan tees have a sporty feel and look great with a pair of jeans, a vest and some Converse sneakers.

Stussy ‘Rowery’ Raglan from General Pants ($59.95)

All About Eve ‘Westside’ Raglan from The Iconic ($49.95)

Mad Love ‘Mi Amigo’ Raglan from SurfStitch ($69.95)

The Tunic

The tunic is a personal favourite of mine. It looks fabulous on its own or over leggings, tights or jeans. A versatile piece that every woman should definitely have in her wardrobe as it suits most body types. Belt it, wear it loose…whatever your choice, embrace the tunic!!

Katies 3/4 Sleeve Animal Print Tunic ($49.95)

Sportsgirl Bretton Stripe Tunic ($59.95)

Mossée Scoop Neck Ruffle Side Tunic from The Iconic ($175.95)

Oversized Shirt

And another favourite of mine…!! The oversized shirt can either be casual or dressy, worn to work during the week or socialising on the weekend. Here are a few that can be worn whenever, wherever.

 Bardot ‘Palermo’ Blouse ($69.95)

Yarra Trail ‘Abstract’ Shirt from Birdsnest ($109.00)

Sussan Pintuck Check Shirt ($79.95)

The Kaftan

Who says a kaftan has to be restricted to the beach and holidays in Bali?! The kaftan has a part-boho, part-rock’n'roll vibe to it and can be paired with leggings, jeans or leather pants. Shake it up and try rocking a kaftan.

Suboo ‘Laguna Beach’ Mini Kaftan from The Iconic ($249.00)

Boom Shankar ‘Nenni Kurta’ Kaftan from Birdsnest ($79.00)

Camilla ‘Fethiye’ Lace Up Kaftan ($429.00)

There you go Steph, four different alternatives to a jumper. Hopefully this post has inspired your Winter wardrobe just a little.
