Figure Fixers: Tops and Tees for every body shape

With warm months the dilemma arrives: what tops and tees should I or can I wear? Because not all body are flattered by the same type of garment, here's a quick guide to what will look the best on you for a laid-back summery style.

Tops to hide untoned arms:
untoned arms are not a crime, ladies, but we do understand not every one wants to have the upper part of their arms on show. A quick, stylish solution is to wear 3/4 sleeves. They still look summery but they are also very chic.
Fling Shrug in Pumpkin
Fling Shrug
The Ya-Ya Fling Shrug in Pumpkin is absolutely adorable! This pumpkin colored shrug has 3/4 sleeves and hook and eye closure. Something this cute should not be passed up! This Ya-Ya shrug would be perfect layered over a cute little cami or over a summer dress to hide those arms you do not want on show.

3/4 Sleeve Knit Top in Lunar
3/4 Sleeve Knit Top
Catherine Malandrino successfully weaves together the energy of Manhattan and the romance of Paris! This is clearly seen in the soft elegance of the 3/4 Sleeve Knit Top in lunar. This feminine piece features a gorgeous, sheer patterned knit, an empire waist, and 3/4 sleeves.


Tops to emphasize a small bust:
Create curves adding interest to the bust chest area. You can wear V cuts, bright colors, strategic ruffles. All will play in favor of a sexier figure.

Daydream, I dream of you and meet the flowers. For a couple of hours, what a beautiful Lumis Top by Reef. Voile baby doll top. All over siren floral print. Rainbow print under bust insets. Shoulder straps with adjustable back ties. Elastic at bottom bust. Back keyhole.

Flirty and glam all rolled into one. Double shoulder straps reveal a lacey underlining. Metallic ribbon trim at the waist is accentuated by a row of florets. Ruffled trim along the hem with lacey lining peaking through.

Tops to hide a tummy:
A round tummy does not get along too well with clinging fabrics or short cuts. Opt for a more easy-breezy tunic top, or an empire-waist cut. Both will work in ingenious ways hiding your middle section and flatgtering your apple body type.
Floral Tie Neck Halter Top

Look perfectly sweet in our pink floral blouse! Detailed with red, pink and green floral print. Buttons down the front. Ties at the neck. Elastic banding on the back hem.

Multicolor Two Piece Top
Multicolor Two Piece Top
We really love our two piece top in fiery pink, red and orange colors on a white background. Comes with a white tank underneath. Ties at the waist. Three button and loop closure in the back. Ruffle detail on the sleeves.

Tops to minimize a big chest:
When you are blessed with a big pair or breasts, one thing to remember is to separate the chest and the breast areas, to avoid the big blur effect that shapeless tops create on you. Go for shapelier tops in stretchy fabrics or empire-waist structured tops with a V-cut, to define the contours of your upper body. Also remember to avoid spaghetti straps, and go for larger straps instead, that will balance you out.
WRAP EMPIRE TUNIC

Sweet flutter sleeves, soft grecian shirring and a flirty hemline all make this tunic texturally charming; the fun doesn’t stop there – be sure to check out the details in the back! And please click on the zoom to see all of the charming details throughout: shirring sewn through with elastic, baby ruffles and soft raw edges.
