How to Style a Piko Top: Part 2

18 April 2014

Piko Tops from Minx
You all seemed to love my post featuring 5 Ways to Style a Piko Top, so here's part 2 for spring trends. Piko tops are more popular than ever, but with warm weather here, who wants to be in long sleeves? Granted these tops are very lightweight and can be transitioned into your spring wardrobe, many women tend to opt for 3/4 or short sleeves. Well ladies, we can have our cake and eat it to because short sleeved piko tops are here!

For those who don't know what a piko top is, it's a loose fitting top cut for an oversized look. They do come in stripes, but are primarily a one color simplistic top. This leaves plenty of options to accessorize and infinite outfit combinations because of its versatility.

Because of their popularity, finding piko tops in stock is a challenge. I know every site I go on is sold out completely or in my size. My friends over at Minx, a boutique in North Carolina, have just replenished their stock of pikos in colors perfect for spring. Hurry before they're sold out again!

Need some help with styling your pikos for spring? I got your back girls!




 

And I very well can't have a post without including some of my favorites from the fabulous Minx Boutique!

5 Ways to Wear a Piko Top

29 August 2013

Piko shirts are definitely one of fall's must-have in your wardrobe. These lightweight, comfortable, stylish, and AFFORDABLE tops are very versatile. Paired with sweats, jeans, skirts, or leggings, piko shirts look amazing with everything. I always like to have my basic colors (white, black, beige/tan) in shirts like this and use accessories to add pops of color. But these shirts are honestly SO comfortable and look great in any color that I've been splurging on any color I can find. The simplicity of the piko shirt does not come off as sloppy or like you just threw on any old thing because you were in a hurry. Ladies, this top is one that is going to be around for a while because of its chameleon-like adaptability. Piko shirts blend beautifully with whatever style of dress you are trying to achieve, whether it be casual, sophisticated, dressy, professional, or edgy.

How would you wear your piko shirt? With some jeans or slacks? That's the normal response; but there are literally infinite ways to wear this top. These are my top 5 personal favorite ways to style/wear your piko shirt.

1. Keep it Simple with Leggings or Jeans
Remember, less is more. Piko tops are chic enough to pair with boots, sandals, or wedges for a dressed up or casual look.
 
 
2. Accessorize with jewelry or scarves
I love a nice chunky over sized scarf is the best accessory for any season. Lightweight in the warm months and knitted when it's cold, a scarf really brings a whole outfit together. For a more sophisticated style, try a bubble or teardrop necklace. Long chain necklaces are a nice touch to up the elegance of the outfit. 
 
3. Tuck It In
Pull an outfit together by tucking your piko top into your bottoms, whether they be jeans, slacks, shorts, or a skirt. These tops can be very baggy and hide your curves. Tucking it in will create the illusion of a defined waistline or show off your vivacious figure.

 4. Tunics
This style is one of my favorites. Piko tops come in a variety of lengths and even as dresses. For the fall, the longer tunics are adorable with a pair of knee high boots or wedges. To accentuate your waistline, add a belt to cinch the dress/tunic.


 5. Layered
Cardigans, jackets, or shawls add a layer of dimension to your piko top. You can mix and match colors for a bold statement. Do too many layers make you hot? Me too. Luckily, piko tops do come in short sleeves and are of a very lightweight material which feels like you have nothing on.
 


Piko tops are for every and any body type...even if you're pregnant! These make wonderful maternity tops because they're over sized, baggy, and comfortable. And you don't have to shop in the maternity section for pikos. Feel good about your style and what you wear.

My top places to snag a piko top are:

Minx

KiKi La'Rue

The Rage

Amour Boutique

Rustic Lace Boutique

Rolling Rack Boutique
