Ellie Top

The Ellie Top is a viscose top with a bit of stretch, cut close to the body so it drapes rather than clings. In white, it's an easy base for women who want one top that works from a plain workday to a night out.

Most wardrobes have a gap between the tee you wear at home and something you'd wear out. The Ellie Top fills it: the viscose blend keeps it soft and light, and the small amount of Lycra means it moves with you and keeps its shape.

The white colour is what makes it flexible. Wear it on its own with jeans, tuck it under a blazer with tailored trousers for work, or pair it with a skirt and heels for the evening. Layer a cardigan over the top when it gets cooler.

Not for you if you prefer a loose, boxy top; this one sits close to the figure.
