Bamboo top for women and what it goes with
Short answer: A bamboo top for women goes with most things because it is a simple, soft layer that can be worn alone or under and over other clothes. Choose a colour that combines well and a cut that suits your trousers, and the top can be used all year.
What is a bamboo top
A bamboo top is a top made of viscose from bamboo, which can have straps, short sleeves or be a simple T-shirt top. The fabric is soft and drapes nicely, and the top suits both everyday and days at home. Because the cuts vary a lot, it is a good idea to find out which one suits you.
A bamboo top under and over other clothes
A top can be used as the innermost layer under a shirt or sweater and as an outer layer when it is warm. That makes it flexible all year, and you can see the range under bamboo tops for women. Choose a thin model if you want to wear it under clothes so it does not bunch.
Trousers, skirts and shorts
The top goes with loose and slim trousers, skirts and shorts. With slim trousers a slightly longer top can create balance, and with high-waisted trousers a shorter one suits. Stand in front of a mirror and see how the top falls over the waist before you decide what suits best.
Layering with a long sleeve T-shirt
When it gets colder the top can go over a thin long sleeve top so you get two layers and more variations. You can look at women's long-sleeved bamboo T-shirt and choose a colour that goes with the top. That gives you a new look without having to buy a whole new top.
Undershirt and top together
A thin top can be worn with an undershirt if the fabric is thin or light. That gives an extra layer and means the top cannot be seen through. See bamboo undershirt for women and find one that sits lower than the neckline of the top.
Colours and patterns
A neutral colour such as white, black, beige or grey goes with most things, while a stronger colour gives personality. Think about what you already have in the wardrobe and choose a colour that can be repeated. Patterns can be nice to have, but they are harder to combine than plain tops.
Fit and size
Measure your bust, waist and hips and compare them with the size chart instead of taking your usual size. A top should fit so that it does not pull across the shoulders and bust and does not hang loose either. Cut and fabric vary between brands, so the same size can fit differently.
Care that lasts
Wash the top as the care label says, usually a gentle cycle, and avoid fabric softener, which can leave a film on the fibres. Turn it inside out and hang it up to dry so it keeps its shape. Iron on low heat if the label allows it, and only if necessary.
Frequently asked questions
Can a bamboo top be worn all year
Yes, many wear a thin top all year, alone in summer and as a layer under or over other clothes when it gets colder.
What does a top go with
It goes with both slim and loose trousers, skirts and shorts. Choose the length according to what you want it for and see how it falls over the waist.
Do you need an undershirt under a top
It is optional, but a thin or light top often looks better with an undershirt so the fabric does not show through and the edges are not visible.
