From Laid-Back to Dressed-Up - 3 tops that do it all

Three versatile tops, two ways to wear, one wardrobe win!

When it comes to buying something new, it’s always worth asking: How will I actually wear this? Can it be styled in more than one way? Does it work with what I already own? Will it earn its keep in my wardrobe, or is it destined to be a one-time wonder?

This thought process is especially important when shopping for a top for a special occasion - whether it’s a summer soirée, a wedding, or an evening celebration. Ideally, we want pieces that feel special enough for those big moments, but versatile enough to wear again in more everyday settings.

That’s exactly what came to mind when I came across these three tops recently. They instantly caught my eye, but I didn’t just want to fall for the style, I wanted to be sure I could make them work beyond a single event. Could they be dressed up for something fancy and dressed down for a more casual day out, or even drinks at the pub with friends?

To put that theory to the test, I styled each top two ways: one outfit with a dressy spin, and another that feels laid-back but still put together. Because the best pieces are the ones that work hard for you—no matter what’s on the calendar.
