Tops for Work

Work Tops for Office & Business Casual Events

Looking polished from 9 to 5 (and beyond) has never been easier. Our curated collection of tops for work blends effortless style with everyday function, so you look as confident as you feel. Whether you're dressing for boardroom meetings, casual Fridays, or video calls from home, we've got work tops designed to elevate your office wardrobe.

At Adrianna Papell, we believe that getting dressed for work should feel like a power move. Our business casual tops, work blouses, and elevated basics are tailored to fit real women, real lives, and real schedules, with comfort built into every stitch.

What Makes a Top Work Appropriate?

A work top should strike the perfect balance between professionalism and comfort. It’s not just about dress codes; it’s about making a smart impression while feeling like yourself. Key features to look for in work blouses for women include:

• Polished tailoring: Clean lines and flattering fits that work across all body types.
  
• Modest necklines: Think crewnecks, keyholes, or soft v-necks.
  
• Sleeve variety: From cap and flutter sleeves to 3/4 and long sleeves, versatility is key.
  
• Structured yet breathable fabrics: So you stay crisp without feeling restricted.
  

Whether you're reaching for a white work blouse or a printed button-down, a top that's easy to style and comfortable to wear is always office-approved.

Which Tops Work Best for Business Casual vs. Formal Work Settings?

Business casual tops offer a little more freedom while still keeping things polished. Ideal picks include:

• Soft knit blouses
  
• Peplum tops
  
• Printed chiffon work tops
  
• Textured shell blouses
  

For more formal or traditional workspaces, go for structured silhouettes and timeless cuts like:

• Button-down office blouses
  
• Silk or satin finish tops
  
• Classic wrap or tie-neck work blouses
  

Transitioning between the two is all in the styling. Pairing a woman’s business casual top with tailored wide-leg pants or a pencil skirt instantly elevates the look.

What Colors and Prints Are Ideal for Office Wear?

Color plays a big role in making your work blouses feel fresh, stylish, and appropriate. Classic hues like white, navy, ivory, and blush are staples in any work wardrobe. A white work blouse is a no-fail piece that pairs with everything from bold suits to neutral knits.

Looking to add a bit of personality? Try:

• Soft florals
  
• Pinstripes or polka dots
  
• Muted jewel tones like emerald or burgundy
  
• Earthy neutrals like camel or olive
  

Printed tops for work are entirely appropriate when styled right, balance a bold pattern with solid, clean-cut separates, and minimalist accessories.

Which Fabric Types Are Best for All-Day Comfort at Work?

The best work tops for women are made from materials that look polished but wear comfortably through long days.

• Polyester blends: Wrinkle-resistant and breathable
  
• Silk and satin: Luxe look with lightweight feel
  
• Chiffon: Flowing and flattering, great under blazers
  
• Cotton poplin: Crisp and structured for traditional office looks
  
• Stretch jersey: Ideal for business casual and desk-to-dinner days
  

If you're shopping for plus-size work blouses, look for styles with flattering cuts, thoughtful tailoring, and comfort-focused fabrics that support all-day wear.
