At the top of the year I like to take inventory of my wardrobe to determine what I want to get rid of, keep, and shop for the upcoming season. This year when I was doing my annual clean out, I realized there's one category I’m severely lacking in: long sleeve tops—specifically elevated long sleeve tops. I have my basic t-shirts covered but when it comes to elegant options to wear to the office or an evening out I'm coming up short. Whether paired with trousers, skirts, or jeans, a sophisticated top instantly elevates the rest of your look, which I'm very much looking for in the dreary winter months.
So I went searching for refined tops to add to my wardrobe and found some utterly chic options that are too good not to share—33 to be exact. From a billowing chiffon STAUD blouse to the viral cinched peplum Liberowe top and scarf-embellished silk numbers from Sofia Richie Grainge's new label, there's really something for everyone. I also included a range of price points so you'll find plenty of great options, no matter your budget. So without further ado, below I'm highlighting the best elegant tops from Zara, Net-a-Porter, and Revolve.
