The classic ‘jeans and a nice top’ combination never fails, so we’ve found the best party-ready tops to wear on your next night out…
Hands up if you haven’t got a free weekend in your diary until the new year. If plans are coming in thick and fast and you’re stuck for wardrobe inspiration, then fear not – we’re here to reassure you that the failsafe combination of jeans and a ‘nice top’ will never let you down.
And, as the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. So we’ve taken it upon ourselves to search all of our favourite sites – from Anthropologie to Zara – so you can step out in style without the last-minute wardrobe panic.
Whether it’s a mesh top with a sprinkling of rhinestones or subtle fluffy textures, there’s no denying a fancy top can be all you need to overhaul a simple pair of jeans. See our edit below of the best 11 party tops you’ll want to wear all season long.
H&M pleated tulle bandeau top
In a dark red shade, this top from H&M is fashion editor-approved – hardly surprising when it looks this good with trousers. Crafted from pleated tulle with a frill-trimmed neckline, it has a chic bandeau-style neckline and puffy silhouette.
Reformation Clarissa silk top
If you’re ever on the lookout for a party outfit, Reformation is the best destination. Known for its fun prints, this silky polka-dot top is guaranteed to get everyone asking where you got it from.
Zara frayed sequin top
With dazzling sequins, a playful frayed texture and fluffy details, this show-stopping party top from Zara will make you shine at every event you have coming up this season.
Next black sequin mesh bow-back blouse
If you want to avoid full-on sparkle but still want a hint of glamour, opt for mesh instead. You could style this Next blouse over a pretty bralette, under a cami dress or with a sleek blazer over the top.
Anthropologie Mare Mare off-the-shoulder bow top
Bow details were all over the runways and they’ve hit the high street, too. This Bardot top looks so effortless tucked into baggier jeans with big earrings and sparkly heels.
River Island green feathered trim top
Nothing screams party season like a sprinkling of feathers. Give your classic jeans a revamp with this green faux-feathered trim version from River Island. Love, love, love.
Monsoon Ariella floral Devore blouse black
The neckline, the voluminous sleeves and the moody floral print on this blouse makes it 360-degree perfection. Wear it the Monsoon way with distressed black jeans or try it with a mini and knee-high boots.
Mango semi-transparent sequinned top
Add a little sequin sparkle and elevate all your winter casuals with this sparkly silver top from Mango. Wear by itself or as a tank top over a crisp white shirt for a luxe layered look.
All Saints Greta slim-fit embellished top
A mini trend to try out this season is a hint of lace. And the best way to give it a go? With a nice top, of course. This style from All Saints will add interest to even the simplest of looks.
Rixo Moss silk blouse
Although it’s a tough choice between the leopard style and winter bloom prints available, we love this gold and black offering from Rixo. Just pair with lashings of gold jewellery.
M&S sequin regular-fit top
Sometimes, all you need is a hint of sparkle to liven up your look. Available in two neutral shades, this top from M&S is perfect for minimalists who want to add a festive touch.
