One wardrobe, multiple roles. Let your tops do the talking.

When looking for the right work tops or celebratory attire, it can be challenging to find the right top that makes you feel good in your clothes while still being professional during your long workday and looking nice when you enjoy yourself. Due to the pressure of balancing professional dress with the occasion, it can feel overpowering when you select to update your closet.

Yet with proper shape, fabric, and style selection of your clothing pieces, it should be simple to go from a Monday meetings to festive evenings with just one top that is carefully selected.

Here’s your complete guide to choosing tops that flatter, feel good, and fit every version of your day.

Must Read: How Indyvarna Is Transforming Indian Formal Wear for the Modern Professional Woman

🌿 1. Start with the Fabric: Comfort First, Always

The fabric used in the making of any top is the number-one most important consideration when choosing an item that will give you a polished appearance while also being comfortable, whether you are seeking an office-ready outfit or festive attire.

Best Fabrics for Office Wear

• Cotton Lycra: Stretchy, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant. Perfect for long hours.
• Pure Cotton: Soft, structured and always elegant.
• Modal/Cotton Blends: Smooth, flowy, with a premium drape.

Best Fabrics for Festive Wear

• Cotton-Silk or Chanderi Blends: Lightweight with a subtle sheen.
• Handblock or Kalamkari Cotton: Rich, artisanal, and high on festive character.
• Rayon Flex: Breathable with a luxurious fall.

At Indyvarna, our tops are crafted from natural and eco-conscious fabrics that feel soft, breathable, and effortless—from boardrooms to celebrations.

👗 2. Select the Ideal Neckline for Your Body Type

Necklines greatly influence the overall style and comfort of a top.

For Office Wear

• V-Neck: Gives a structured, businesslike appearance by lengthening the neckline.
• High Round Neck: Business-friendly, simple, and tidy.
• Mandarin Collar: Perfect for formal settings.

For Festive Outfits

Sleeves are where your personality shows up.

At Indyvarna, we have introduced puffed sleeves as a means of giving tops a touch of playfulness and elegance that can still be worn in the office with understated styling.

 🌼 4. Prints vs. Solids: Know When to Choose What

Your choice of prints or solids sets the tone of your outfit.

For Office Wear

• Jewel-toned solids

These bring life, colour, and cultural richness to celebrations.

Indyvarna’s festive tops often feature heritage prints, while our office-ready tops come in refined solids and subtle textures.

🪷 5. Pay Attention to Fit & Silhouette

The right silhouette can transform your outfit—and your confidence.
