Now, please note that I said WELL CUT TOP, because when done incorrectly patterns will have the opposite result and make you look like a circus tent, couch etc.
What you want to look for in a flattering patterned top is something that is a bit tailored, with some interesting detail to accentuate the pattern. Because my tummy is my least favorite of all my body parts, I like something that is fitted around the shoulders but then loose and drapey from about bra-line down.
Do not, under any circumstances, wear bubbles tops. Ever.

Everyone has a nice clavicle, seriously, EVERYONE |

Bulges? What bulges? |

Dark, adornment free skinny jeans make a necessary counterpoint to the ruffles and pattern and overall largess of the top. |
THE LOOSE SLEEVELESS BUTTON DOWN with POCKETS
Also seen here in white, this drapey fit sort of skims over everything, but in a polished, put together way that makes me feel very grown up. While the white is quite winsome, this pattern just gives some serious crazy eye stimulation which makes it even post family BBQ hungover Dena feel both polished, a little fierce and also like my alcohol puffy will remain cleverly undetected. It also hides my inevitable dropped food stains much better than the white version.

Look, there's my clavicle again, also, no bulges, HAZAA |

PRO TIP: To give this top a little more shape I do a partial tuck in the back, it nips it in just a bit but still covers where I want that flowing coverage... |
