Women’s layering tops you’ll actually wear
A great base layer should do three things: feel good, layer easily, and make outfits simpler. That’s exactly what these scoop neck tops are for. They’re the kind of basic tops that work hard in your wardrobe - whether you’re building winter outfits, packing for travel, or just trying to get dressed without overthinking it.
If you’ve been searching for women’s layering tops, layering tops for winter, or bamboo layering tops, you’re in the right place.
Scoop neck tops - simple, flattering, easy to layer
The scoop neckline is a quiet wardrobe hero. It sits neatly under bulky knits and jackets, layers well under dresses, and still looks polished when worn on its own. That’s why scoop neck styles are a favourite for basic layering tops - they work with almost everything you already own.
Wear yours:
- under a cardigan or blazer for work
- under a knit on cold days for extra warmth
- with jeans and boots for a classic everyday look
- layered under a dress to extend it into winter
- Pair with our bamboo pants or skirts for a comfy outfit
Bamboo layering tops vs “thermals” - what’s the difference?
When people search basic layers and thermal layers for winter, they usually want warmth without bulky, itchy fabric. Bamboo is ideal for that “light but cosy” feel - breathable, comfortable, and easy to wear for long days.
Think of these as your everyday thermal-style layers:
- great for layering without feeling thick
- breathable enough for heated offices and indoor/outdoor days
- soft on the skin (especially important for basics you wear a lot)
Basic tops, sorted
These are the pieces that make outfit building easier. If you’re creating a capsule wardrobe, start with a couple of go-with-everything shades like black, white or navy and you’ll be set for months.
If you’re choosing your first:
- pick a neutral you’ll wear weekly
- add a second shade for rotation
- then build from there with seasonal colours when you feel like it
