Long Sleeve Tops For Women
Long sleeve tops are all about making everyday dressing simple and stylish. Bring your outfit to life with a printed shirt or lace blouse, or keep it simple with a classic long sleeve tee you’ll reach for day after day. A long sleeve number will have you dressing with ease — the only hard part is choosing your favourite.
Tuck a v-neck into high-waisted jeans for a laid-back look, then switch it up in the evening with a textured style. A touch of shimmer brings the sparkle to any festive party, and nothing says ‘winter glam’ like velour.
Own your off-duty wardrobe with a long-sleeved tunic. Wear over tights and boots for chilly autumn walks, then add a waist belt and faux fur coat when you want to dress things up.
For everyday errands, you can’t beat a simple black or white long sleeve top. They’re perfect for layering under your favourite cardi, or can be worn in their own right.
Whichever style is your go-to, our edit of tops with long sleeves is here to make getting dressed feel effortless.
Long Sleeve Tops FAQs
What are the best long sleeve t-shirts?
The best long sleeve t-shirts are the ones you can reach for without thinking, the definition of a ‘go-to’ top. A classic black or white plain top is always a winner (they go with absolutely everything), while soft neutrals and stripes add a little variety without any fuss.
If you love layering, look for long sleeve tops in lightweight cotton, which sit neatly under any jumper or quilted jacket. For those days when you want your top to do the talking, a pop of colour or an animal print can instantly lift your mood.
The real secret to long-sleeved ease is having a few different options on hand, so you’ve always got the perfect top ready to go.
What to wear with a long sleeve top?
Styling your long sleeve top comes down to the look you’re after.
For a polished outfit for the office, tuck a black or white crew neck into tailored trousers, then add a thin belt to accentuate your waist. Switch the trousers for a patterned midi skirt and sandals in the spring to bring the sunshine inside.
Meeting friends for lunch? A long sleeve chiffon blouse looks gorgeous with wide-legged trousers and boots — heels or flats, depending on what you fancy. For effortless style, pick out a colour from the blouse and choose bottoms and accessories in the same tone.
And for those laid-back days, a striped long sleeve top or jumper tucked into your comfiest denim jeans is an absolute go-to.
How to wear a floral long sleeve top?
Florals for spring may not be groundbreaking, but florals year-round just might be. Don’t save bright and cheerful patterns for the sunny seasons; wear them in autumn and winter for a splash of colour on colder days, too.
A long sleeve floral blouse tucked into denim gives any outfit a country spin. A black midi denim skirt is bang on trend and looks lovely with a pair of suede ankle boots. Or pull on your best flared blue jeans and flat leather boots — practical and stylish. Tie a neutral cardi around your shoulders on breezier days and you’ll be set to go, no matter the season.
Wearing your floral top somewhere a little fancier? Pair your favourite floral chiffon number with a silky midaxi skirt. Dark tights, heeled boots, and a leather jacket, and you’ll be looking and feeling fab in no time. Not a fan of a skirt? Try tailored trousers instead and add an oversized blazer for an instant lift.

How to fold a long-sleeved top?
The best way to fold your long-sleeved numbers depends on their style:
Long sleeve t-shirts: Simple is key. Lay your tee flat, fold each sleeve across the body, then fold the bottom up to meet the top. Easily stack several long sleeve t-shirts in your wardrobe or lay flat in your drawers for neat storage.
Blouses with long sleeves: A little extra care goes a long way. Start by buttoning it up, then giving it a gentle shake to loosen any creases. Lay it flat, fold the sleeves gently across the body, then fold the blouse in half lengthways, and then in half again. Avoid stacking too many other items of clothing on top of your blouses, especially if they’re made from delicate materials — they’re more likely to wrinkle or slide off your organised pile.
Long-sleeved jumpers: How you fold these is down to their thickness. For thinner, cotton jumpers, fold in the same way as you would a long-sleeved tee. For chunkier knits, tuck the sleeves across the body, then fold from the bottom up.
