We are in the midst of an Indian Summer and keeping cool under stressful hot weather conditions, depends on what we wear and what we eat or drink. We need to dress up according to the environment we are in. Are we at work, at a friend’s place or are we on a holiday? One of the necessities in a women’s wardrobe is the top, the little piece of clothing that adds to your profile in an impeccable way, provided you wear it confidently and stylishly. And in this heat, a top is always welcome. You can team it with shorts, skirts or even palazzos…and you are ready to go out. They come in various designs and materials and at a relatively less price compared to other necessities in a women’s closet.
In earlier times, tops were mostly worn with long skirts and later with trousers. The top has evolved over the years and has gained popularity due to its style quotient as well as its ability to enhance the lower apparel’s beauty in an endearing way. Depending on one’s choice, tops can be exciting and sexy and Indian summers are a good way of flaunting one’s body and making a fashion statement.
Let’s check out the different types of Top designs and styles that are available not only in stores but also online.
