Women’s Tops: Lace, Formal & Knitted

Shop our women's tops for pieces that can change an entire outfit. This collection brings together tops for women, from lace tops to formal tops, so you can pair them with skirts and pants for weddings, dinners and events.

Lace tops are a timeless choice. They add texture and a soft, feminine feel, and they pair well with a long skirt or tailored pants. A neutral bolero over the top adds coverage without hiding the lace.

Formal tops for women should look refined and hold their shape through a long evening. Look for clean necklines, good structure and a fabric with some weight. If you're wearing the top with a skirt, keep the colours tonal for a sleek, elongated line.

Knitted women's tops are handy for cooler months. A fine knit can look dressy when paired with a satin skirt or tailored pants. Choose a smooth, lightweight knit in a refined colour for events.

Think about the bottom half before you pick a top. A fitted top suits full or wide leg pants, while a slightly looser top can look balanced with a slim skirt. Tucking in a top helps define the waist and keeps the outfit tidy.

Colour and layering add variety. A neutral top works with many pieces, and a bolero over a sleeveless style gives coverage for the ceremony and a lighter look for the reception. Pieces from the jewellery collection can finish the outfit without competing with the top's detail.

Sleeves and necklines make a big difference. A high neckline looks polished for formal events, a boat neck is easy to pair with statement earrings, and sleeves add coverage when you want it. Think about where you'll wear the top and which skirt or pants you'll team it with.

Complete your outfit with pants and skirts or more separates. For extra coverage, see the jackets, boleros and cover-ups, and for a matching lace look, the lace dresses and gowns are worth comparing across the wider Montique collections. A good lace or formal top can work for weddings, dinners and work events.
