6 Elegant Tops Stylish People in London and Stockholm Are Wearing With Jeans This Winter

For the longest time, I exclusively wore midi skirts and dresses. In fact, it always shocks my colleagues to learn that I didn’t own a pair of simple black trousers until about five years ago. Between my petite height and my hourglass curves, I always struggled to find trousers and jeans that I thought suited my body type. Yes, I was probably being hard on myself, but it wasn’t until I decided to try on as many pairs as I could that I realised what cuts, lengths and fits look best on me. Now, you’re much more likely to find me in jeans and trousers over anything else. So, on the cusp of dressy season, I thought there was no better time to take stock of the elegant top trends to start wearing with them.

This year we’ve seen refined trends take over. From slingback shoes to suede bags to pencil skirts, the past 12 months have been dominated by a feeling of elegance, but that doesn’t mean you need to step out of the house looking like Emily Gilmore (even if I wouldn’t mind borrowing her collection of Chanel twinsets). Instead, there are less stuffy ways to make your outfits look more polished, and wearing one of the below elegant top trends is one of them.
