Crystal Embellished Tops for Women: The Edit

A crystal embellished top gives you a bit of shine on a top you can wear with plain trousers, without going all the way to a festive outfit. These six are designed by Ramola Bachchan. Two carry a royal palm print at the hem, one is a two-colour panel top with a crystal scalloped neckline, two have a marine print with scattered crystals, and one has a gold chandelier print down the front. Each one has the crystals placed on the print rather than all over, so the shine catches the light without taking over.

Royal palm tops in viscose crepe

The magenta is the richer of the two royal palm tops. The palm border sits at the hem, the notched V-neck is plain, and the crystals sit in the print, so the shine shows up as you move rather than all at once. Beige trousers and gold earrings are enough for a dinner or a puja.

The same top in deep blue is quieter, and it is the one to wear to work and then out afterwards. The print and the crystals are the same as on the magenta, and the dark ground makes the green of the palms stand out more.

A colour-block top with a crystal scalloped neck

This one has no print at all. Royal blue and green panels in double viscose georgette meet down the front, and the crystals are along the scalloped V-neck, right by the face. The sleeves are long and flared. With white trousers it looks polished; with black it gets more evening.

Marine print tops for warm days

The marine print tops are lighter, made for day. Navy is the easiest to wear: it goes with white, beige or denim, and the crystals are scattered through the print. Plain gold or silver jewellery is enough.

Hot pink is the same top with more energy. The print is the same, but on pink it reads as a fashion piece rather than a beach one, and it works well with white trousers for a lunch.

A gold chandelier print for evenings

The most festive top here has a gold chandelier jewel print running down the front from a V-neck, with crystals worked into it. It has three-quarter sleeves and a relaxed fit. With cream trousers and metallic heels it can stand in for a full ethnic outfit at a party or a puja.

All six are made to order in sizes XS to 8XL, with a custom size option, and ship in one to two days. If the fit is not right, alterations and size exchanges are free.
