While a well-fitting bottom can make or break an outfit, a complimentary top is where you can really put your style sense on display. With endless combinations and cuts that are made to flatter just about any body type and size, these Banana Republic tops and blouses are the unsung heroes of your wardrobe.
For more petite frames, a cropped topped or high-low hem can help give the illusion of length, while a crisp button-down is a universally flattering choice to dress up or down. Also consider the bottom that you're pairing your top with. If a wide- or flared-leg pant is what you've decided on, stick with a more tapered top. The great thing about these Banana Republic picks is that you can disrupt the style rule to reflect your personal taste.
