Soft cotton tops are incredibly comfortable for long day wear, but sometimes they’re not dressy enough for professional settings. That’s why I like to find cotton tops and blouses with just enough design elements to make them more formal for the office. This Satin & Bead Scoopneck Tee, for example, adds a touch of class with a simple embellishment.

On the center front of the garment are small shimmering beads that make this such an elegant top. A few crisscross pleats draw attention to the neckline and highlight the beadwork. As a final touch, the yoke neckline is made of a slightly shiny fabric. It’s a subtle sheen, but stands out just enough to emphasize both the neckline and the sparkling beads.

Keeping things simple, the rest of the design is basic yet formal. Long sleeves add a professional edge to the outfit. Side slits help the material to lay flatteringly over your midsection. Likewise, side slits will allow you full range of motion, which is necessary when working in a busy office. The length of 28.5 inches elongates your torso to make you look taller and slimmer. This top does not have any particular shaping elements, so it fits loosely around the waist and hips. Many women would appreciate this roomier fit, but it may look a little baggy on some body types.
