Best Fall 2009 Tops, Shirts, & Blouses Trends – Draped, Ruffled, One Shoulder and More

The fall 09 season sports a lot of fun top trends: draped tops, ruffled blouses, one shoulder tops, plaid shirts, and hardware tops.
Some are more worthy investments than others.

While a ruffled or a draped top can be worn for seasons to come and is a worthy investment, a plaid shirt seems to be a passing fad, that may not be worth the $$.

In this fall top guide, I wanted to concentrate on trends that are more universal and that have staying longevity. Here they are:

Note: to sweeten the pot, most of the tops are from Piperlime(owned by Gap) and they now sell carefully edited clothing section.  The best part: free shipping and returns (same as Zappos and Piperlime free shipping & returns on shoes).   Since clothing may hard sometimes to shop virtually, it gives you a chance to try it and send it back at no cost if it doesn’t fit.

Draped Top- this style is classy, modern, and hides flows. I especially love the Whisper top by Velvet in graphite, because of how much it resembles Rick Owens style and the classy grey color.

1. Velvet by Graham & Spencer Merina Gauzy Whisper Top in Graphite -$75 2. Ella Moss Tallulah Top in Black -$98. 3.Cynthia Steffe Kristel Top in Mushroom – $119

Ruffled Top – another classic bound to stay in the mix, ruffled tops are feminine and softness and lightness to an outfit.
1. Velvet by Graham & Spencer Sissy Baby Jersey Novelty Top - $92 2. Gold Hawk Open Sleeve Ruffle Top in Green - $130 3. Generra Layered Front Top in Cobblestone -$162
