Womens dressy tops are a fabulous alternative to dresses. You can create multiple outfit by pairing the top with pants or a skirt. They're versatile for office work, last-minute parties, dates, family dinner, etc. You just can't be without them!

Note: The difference between a dressy and a party top is that a prettier top looks more modest without showing off too much skin.

Before you get started, here are a couple of handy fashion tips on buying and wearing pretty tops:

How to Buy Dressy Tops

Secure the basics

Pretty basics tops are solid neutrals with classic details (eg. ruffles, kimono sleeves, lace, or in a shirt style) that keep you covered on any occasions or situations where you have to dress up but not look too much.

The beauty with a top in a solid neutral is that you can transform it into multiple fashion looks - just by switching between accessories such as jewelry, scarves and belts. This is a must if you're on a budget!

Black and navy blue are both all-arounders - however, it's nice to have one basic pretty top in a lighter color for the warmer summer months. Red is also excellent for the Holiday season.

If you're broke or don't have anything to wear

Rely on a black V-neck top which you can glitz up with a couple of accessories. Whenever I feel like not wearing anything fluffy - I usually pair my basic v-neck 3/4 sleeve top with a statement necklace or a multiple layered pearl necklace to make it look dressier.

Adding sparkles with for example crystal stud earrings is also a great way to spiff up a plain garment. A belt and a silk scarf can also do wonders.

You don't have to splurge on a bunch of complicated tops that don't give room for modifications and are likely to be worn once or twice.

Keep accessories at a minimum

If the top is very dressy I like keeping my accessories at a minimum. However, you don't have to stick to the basic jewelry essentials (eg. pearl stud earrings) but rather go for solid jewelry or two-toned neutral (for example, a necklace with brown and beige gemstones) accessories.
