A dress or a sari aren’t the only things you can wear when going out. The world of fashion is full of wonderful combinations of tops, skirts, and trousers. A going-out top is a good investment because it allows a lot of modification and re-use.
If you want to get yourself a good party top this season, here are the trends to look out for. Let’s explore the party wear tops for women in 2018.

Sheer to add a bit of mystery
Women’s party tops have always had different ways to spice it up and to turn up the heat. You’ve had bare shoulders and revealing backs. In 2018, the sexy option is to opt for sheer. Naturally, we’re not talking about showing it off but just adding a layer of sheer to the top will add a bit of mystery and seducing to your look.
Sequins to add to the bling
Your party top will have to be a bit of bling this season. Sequins have been everywhere in the world of fashion in 2018 and you’d miss out on this trend if you didn’t add a bit of sparkle to your wardrobe.
Sequin tops come in different finishing. You find classic, sleeveless tops with sparkly detailing. But you can also find trendy long-sleeved sequin shirts from big brands. One of the hottest party options would be to match a classic top with a sequin jacket or blazer.
Fringing for that carnival feel
Another big addition to party tops in 2018 is fringed tops. You can see them in all shapes and size, from fringing at the sleeves to have the whole shirt be covered infringing. This is a funky look for a summer party – it will also keep you warm outdoors.
For the adventurous and fashion-conscious, feather fringing is the best look to go with. But if you just want a bit of fun, then you can simply opt for a classic laced fringing. This is definitely a party-look the celebrities have endorsed.
Ruffles for a dramatic entrance
You should also consider opting for a ruffled top. Ruffles are great in 2018 because they add to the drama – they look bold, brave and beautiful. Ruffles are showing up at the bottom of your traditional top. But the favoured option is to go for an off-the-shoulder top with big, ruffled sleeves. This is a fantastic pick for a party and you can pair it with a skirt or a pair of jeans for a more relaxed look.
Pastels for colour
In terms of the colour of your party top, you want to pick a sweet pastel. This soft shade comes in blue, lilac, pink and lemon. If you want to be extra chic, go with a top in duck egg – it’s a great colour that’s easily matched with others. You just have to be slightly careful in wearing this soft shade. Pastels can look bland and childish on their own so you want to mix in slightly cooler hues or combine unique pastels together, such as lilac and green.
Bold and bright for statement looks
Now, if you’re not a big fan of the soft shade, you have another alternative. The opposite of this quiet shade is also popular and that means going to the other extreme and picking something bold. Bold and bright colours such as electric red and blue are super popular – they add just the right amount of drama to a party look. This is a good option for those that need that extra bit of energy from their clothing.
Checks for a bit of playfulness
If you’d like your party top to have specific patterns, checks are the trend in 2018. That’s right, the classic Mulberry look is getting back on the dance floor. There is a lot of Scottish vibes out there as well. While checks might be a trend that’s easier to follow with your bottoms or the jacket, your party top could also be a funky chequered shirt.
Pairing your party tops
The above trends in women’s party tops offer plenty of pairing opportunities. You can go for a classic A-line skirt or pick a maxi skirt for the winter parties. You can go with trousers, too. Leather leggings or straight, wide-leg trousers are a great option.
Buying your party top
In terms of buying your tops, the Internet has plenty of options. You can trust the usual fashion brands in terms of finding tops in the above trends. If you’ve been blessed with curves, then City Chic has a ton of great offers at the moment. Just remember to measure your body and examine the size chart on the website – this ensures you find a good top in the right size. If you’re ordering online, make sure to check the return and refund terms and conditions. You want the option to swap your top for something different if it doesn’t turn out as good.
So, when it comes to going out this year, a party top is a good option. The above trends guarantee you find something suited to your body type and personality. Now you just need a lot of parties to go to!
