Tops and T-shirts

Women's Tops and T-shirts: find the ideal style for every season and occasion

A good top is one that you can pair without thinking and wear three times a week without getting tired of it. Basic white T-shirt, ribbed top, crop top, long-sleeved top, or ruffle top: each style has its place depending on the occasion.

This selection brings together women's wardrobe essentials, carefully chosen by Béryl. For a casual look, an office outfit, or a dressier occasion.

Béryl's advice

Before choosing a top or T-shirt, always check the  fabric composition. A fabric containing a small amount of elastane offers greater comfort and retains its shape better through washing, while high-quality cotton has a more natural drape and greater durability.

Another point not to overlook:  opacity. Light colors, especially white, can be more or less opaque depending on the fabric's weight. If you want a flawless look every day, choose a sufficiently thick fabric or wear nude-colored underwear.

The most common mistake is choosing a top solely based on your usual size. In reality,  the cut and drape make all the difference. A fitted style will flatter your silhouette more, while a looser cut creates a relaxed look.

How do you choose and wear a top or T-shirt?

A top should primarily be chosen based on what you plan to pair it with.

• The basic white T-shirt is the most versatile: with jeans and sneakers for a casual look, or with a skirt or tailored trousers for a more sophisticated silhouette.
• The plain top naturally complements more distinctive pieces such as a colorful coat or patterned trousers, for a balanced overall look.
• The crop top creates a lovely contrast with a high-waisted bottom, highlighting the waist without revealing the entire silhouette.
• The long-sleeved ribbed top, worn on its own or under a cardigan, provides warmth and style during the transitional seasons.
• The ruffled or puff-sleeved top, paired with dark-wash jeans or straight-leg trousers, creates a feminine outfit for every season.

A top that lasts is recognizable by the  quality of its fabric after washing and by  its easy-to-match color : white, black, beige, gray, or navy blue.

Which fabrics should you choose for each season?

Béryl's tip: The secret to a successful top or T-shirt lies not only in its cut, but also in how you wear it. To enhance your silhouette, choose the neckline to suit your body shape: a V-neck visually elongates the bust and neck, while a crew neck creates a softer, timeless look. Square necklines, meanwhile, particularly flatter the shoulders and décolleté.

For a modern look, don't hesitate to play with layers. A fitted top slips easily under a jacket, blazer, or open shirt to create an elegant silhouette without adding bulk.

Our customers' favorite styles

• Leana Top : Our customers love the Leana Top for its comfort, easy-to-wear fit, and stripes that add a touch of originality. It is the kind of piece you put on without hesitation because it is easy to pair and always makes an impression.
• Elga T-shirt : Our customers love it for its simple yet feminine style. Its lace detail adds a touch of elegance without overdoing it, while its slightly loose fit makes it as comfortable to wear as it is easy to style. It is the updated basic we love wearing with both jeans and a skirt.

Frequently asked questions

Which top should you wear in spring? A lightweight cotton or viscose top that transitions easily from a cool morning to a mild afternoon.

How do you choose a basic T-shirt that will not lose its shape in the wash? Choose a dense cotton rather than an overly synthetic blend, and avoid the tumble dryer, which loosens the fibers.

Which top should you pair with a skirt for an office look? A plain top or a crop top worn with a high-waisted bottom, for a polished look without being too formal.

Which top color is easiest to pair? Neutral shades such as white, black, beige, gray, or navy go with most bottoms.

How can you tell if a top is the right size? It should fit the bust without pulling or gaping around the shoulders. The size guide will help you choose between two sizes.
