Capsule Wardrobe Refresh: The Top Women's Tops For Spring/Summer
Spring is in the air. It’s time to refresh and re-energise your wardrobe and your spirits! Simplifying your spring wardrobe capsule update, this is your Spring Top Edit. Your guide to quick and easy spring style choices, here are the key tops you need to upgrade your wardrobe and elevate your look for the new season...
Sustainable Shirts For Women
Nothing says ‘chic’ like a classic shirt. Classic for work, classic for casual and up-styled with statement accessories, an elegant shirt is classic for evening wear too (divine, worn with graceful wide leg pants or a cocktail pant suit!).
Look for luxe fabrications like the beautiful Tencel Viscose of the Arley Shirt. Instantly elevating, this silky-touch fabric drapes luxuriously over the body. It’s lightweight and breathable too (great for staying cool in the warmer months!) And, the sustainable Tencel fabric makes this dress shirt as light on the conscience as it is to wear.
Create a polished look by choosing a shirt with refined details. The front pleat, soft collar and back pleats for example, are all designed to elevate the Arley Shirt and how it sits on the body. Finished with exquisite bound hems, the soft ¾ sleeves ensure it translates as for casual wear as well as as a work shirt.
OVERSIZED SHIRTS FOR CASUAL WEAR
Perfect with jeans and casual pants, this elegant blouse adds polish to off-duty looks. Wear for the office with workwear suiting and let the tailored touches elevate and empower. The front pleat gives a stylish alternative to button-down shirts, and features beautifully under open jackets.
Go for cool Vanilla for a fresh feel and brighter look for the new season. Or shop Graphite for a softer alternative to classic black.
A burst of print will update your wardrobe in an instant. A vibrant print has the power to not only lift your wardrobe but your spirits too. Going for bold prints with a classic base like navy, black or white will ensure new additions match back well with your existing wardrobe mainstays.
Women's Work and Casual Tops For Capsule Wardrobes
Take the Jungle print as inspiration - its navy base makes it easy to curate with classic capsule wardrobes for work or for casual wear. This print too, comes with a choice of two accent colours: Pink or Green so you can tailor your selection to suit your style and your wardrobe likes.
Best of all, this print is on our Dry-Touch Jersey fabric which gives it great stretch. Whether it’s a day at the office or a day spent relaxing, Jungle print tops are great for all-day comfort and ease-of-wear!
The Sawyer Top with its round neckline transitions easily from work to weekend, while the Lila Top makes a feminine statement with its beautiful flutter sleeves. Tailored details again, elevate this top style so its comfortable fit still looks highly professional paired with workwear pants and jackets for corporate situations.

Lightweight bamboo jersey tops for women
Every wardrobe should have a Bamboo Jersey top, especially coming into the warmer months.
Made from bamboo fibres, this fabric is not just breathable but thermoregulating as well. Great for keeping you cool when your body feels hot, the reverse applies too. Bamboo Jersey will keep you warm in colder temperatures also, making it a great year-round investment.
As well as the functional benefits, a Bamboo Jersey top feels buttery-soft to the touch.This little touch of luxury against the skin is a physical booster, a kind caress that carries with you through the day.
Petite To Plus Size Bamboo Jersey Tops for Summer
An evergreen style like the Sawyer Top will wear equally as well under workwear suiting for weekday capsules as it does for easy weekend style. A revelation for travel too, the fresh feeling Bamboo Jersey offers means long haul journey’s are no sweat!
Classic black and white are no-brainers as essentials to live in. For a seasonal update, look to alternative neutrals like French Navy Bamboo (for that je ne sais quoi!) or Amber Bamboo (forget beige, this rich neutral sets all skin-tones alight with its warm glow!)

What our customers are saying
A top for warmer evenings - great shape, scoop neck , soft fabric in a sphicated floral print. Can recommend!
I love the Daryl top, I now have it in several colours/designs. It sits so well across the shoulders and the cowl neck sits just right. I have found some other cowl neck tops to be a bit wide in the shoulders. The Bahagia print is a vivid and fun print for summer. Love it!
The Joni top has become an absolute favourite of mine. Sleeveless, with a beautifully draped cowl neckline and shirttail hemline, she can be worn untucked for a boho vibe, but also more formally tucked in under a jacket. The Foxtrot placement print is an explosion of differently sized spots, adding both glamour and cheekiness.
The Berit maxi is gorgeously swishy with its deep hem flounce. She will be worn this Summer with sandals revealing a pretty pedicure, but will look fabulous with boots in the Winter for all year round perfection. So comfortable with the jelly tape waist, and she has pockets!
I love this print in my Mason long sleeve top & thought I'd give it a whirl in Dany Culotte - it goes with so many of my L&F blue hues as well as black & white. The styling video to show all the options for wearing these beautiful pants is super helpful for inspiration across all my other Dany Culottes which I've been mostly styling as faux jumpsuit with matching tops, as an alternative to wearing a dress.
This is my second Kris dress - my first is in Navy & I was going for the Cobalt but thanks to recent Styling Session, the Amalfi print was the winner for something a little different compared to block colours. This is such a pretty dress & suits my shape & 182cm height.
Absolutely love my navy Amal dress that I picked up in the latest sale. I have been eyeing this gorgeous dress off in the L&F site since I began buying these beautiful clothes but didn't know what size to get as I usually buy separates. I took the punt on buying a black Melissa dress in s16 recently, the fit is perfect. So when I saw a s16 navy Amal in the sale my heart began to flatter. As soon as the sale began my fingers went to work. I am so over joyed to I have this gorgeous dress to wear. Thanks L&F. xx
The Jaime top is my essential go to top and it is reached for all year round. The Palette print has a wow factor that looks great with my black Bradleys
I picked up a jumpsuit in palette in a sale (my first foray into patterns rather than block colours) and I love it, so when I was umming and aahing about whether or not to try some patterned tops, I thought I'd try out palette again. I really like the more fitted tops for work, especially to balance out my propensity for wide legged pants, but wasn't sure about the longer sleeves of the Ziggy. I'm so glad I took the plunge because I think it looks so lovely and classic and stylish for work. I love the longer fitted sleeves and the boatline neckline, and the pops of colour of palette are perfect for a corporate law firm without being too 'out there'. Perfect to wear with my navy soft suit of Merit blazer, Drew pants...and Corbin because I tried out the tighter top with the fitted pants and because L&F cuts so beautifully I don't look like a sausage squeezing out of its skin, VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT! If I didn't work in corporate law I would for sure snap up the Drew pants in pink (they're on saaaaaaaale!) also nd this top would go fabulously with them (with or without the Merit blazer in navy). Thank you L&F I'm thrilled with this purchase!
I wasn't sure about wearing pants in this print BUT they were too good to resist at my recent Styling Session which gave me the confidence to also pair them with the matching Kelyn Swing Shirt. Now I'm just waiting for the right weather to show off this outfit! I did get them lengthened by letting down the hem as I'm 182cm tall with long legs, short waist.
I already have the Kelyn in Animal Swirl from last year & just love the colours in that one as well as Jade Deco - this relaxed fit shirt pairs well with so much. Being fine boned, broad shoulders & big bust, I went with a size down from my true size for a more tailored fit - not tight at all & comfortable thanks to the pleated fabric details on the back. Jade Deco print is gorgeous.
This is my second pair of Corbin pants, my first pair was in black and this pair is in navy - to give me another option of soft suiting with my navy merit blazer. I love these pants as they are fitted but have stretch. I love that you can sit in them after eating and they don’t cut your tummy in half and make you want to undo your button. Beautifully made, with beautiful fabric as always with L&F pieces :-)
The most comfy pants and the colour is luscious. Great for work, travel or just lounging around. I'm 155cm and they are ankle length on me. So happy with these quality pants. Thanks again L&F
This dress is another of my favourites from L&F, the style is ever so Elegant willowy and draping subtly on my body in all the right places, I have to say that there is such great detail to this dress that it makes a perfect evening dress as well as day dress for every occasion, I really adore this style thankyou L&F
I love my Melissa in Black so much, it is my perfect little black dress that I go to for almost every occasion. The style and quality of this dress is Superior High Quality which I love so much, the weight is perfect to wear all 4 seasons its just perfect in every way, thankyou L&F
