Long-Sleeve Tops for Women

What types of women's long-sleeve tops are there?

Women's long-sleeve tops come in many styles at Tom Tailor: from a plain basic to an eye-catching model. The fits range from slim-fit shirts through straight cuts to relaxed loose-fit and boxy-fit versions. There's plenty of choice in necklines and collars too: round neck, V-neck, boat neck, roll neck, stand-up collar or polo collar. If you like it classic, reach for a plain cotton top; if you want variety, you'll find striped models, prints, fine ribbed and ottoman textures or versions with a lace detail and glitter.

Are longline tops still in style?

Longer-cut tops are still in demand because they're comfortable and easy to combine. A longer longline top covers the hips, sits relaxed and works with skinny trousers as well as leggings. It looks modern above all in calm colours and with a clean line – for example in a loose fit over slim trousers. If you prefer something more fitted, go for a shorter, slim-cut long-sleeve top. Both have their place; what matters is that length and cut suit the rest of your silhouette.

What are thin long-sleeve tops called?

Thin, lightweight long-sleeve tops are often called longsleeves. This means a top made of fine jersey – the same stretchy fabric as a T-shirt, just with long sleeves. Typical are smooth or finely ribbed cotton and modal qualities that feel pleasant on the skin and layer well under other pieces. Longsleeves like these are ideal for the layered look: as a light base under blouses, jumpers or jackets.

What's the difference between a longsleeve and a jumper?

A longsleeve and a jumper differ above all in material and thickness. A longsleeve is a thin long-sleeve top made of jersey and sits close or loose to the body. A jumper is made of thicker knit, keeps you warmer and usually sits a little more voluminously. In short: the longsleeve is the lighter top, the jumper the warmer knitted version. On cooler days, the two layer nicely over each other.
