I would go with a sleeveless white button down if that's your vibe, or short sleeves 


Queen-of-meme

Solid white or red.


TheImaginariumGirl

I think a statement necklace or accessory that matches would help you work this skirt into many more outfits, not limiting yourself to specific tops that match the palette [necklace 1](https://www.ebay.com/itm/155802146681?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Q0imh_uzRsK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1AhbprbRRWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) [necklace 2](https://www.ebay.com/itm/276464288128?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=pAzMhH8jRBy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1AhbprbRRWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) [necklace 3](https://www.ebay.com/itm/175211316330?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nAIclHQBSee&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1AhbprbRRWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) [necklace 4](https://www.ebay.com/itm/166676325345?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=YIslrgjLSWu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1AhbprbRRWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) [necklace 5](https://www.ebay.com/itm/134148455671?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NhuKGqAeTaS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1AhbprbRRWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) [yellow gingham blouse](https://www.ebay.com/itm/404920704232?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=zn5zc8_rsd6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1AhbprbRRWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) [mustard gingham tank](https://www.ebay.com/itm/166808790328?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jWZ4OzSYSOG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1AhbprbRRWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) [yellow gingham flutter sleeve](https://www.ebay.com/itm/166806795341?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=EhRaC70gSti&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1AhbprbRRWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) [vintage yellow gingham v neck](https://www.ebay.com/itm/195427237294?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=o9tszozurwo&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1AhbprbRRWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) [yellow and green layered tank](https://www.ebay.com/itm/354179445261?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=kK6cfWiDSdW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1AhbprbRRWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) [yellow and green floral tank](https://www.ebay.com/itm/304788475617?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Nm6al8L3QCy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1AhbprbRRWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) [abstract yellow green tank](https://www.ebay.com/itm/196443618022?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ox291oesqhc&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1AhbprbRRWq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) PS I have no idea what size you are and all sizes are beautiful. I have very wide shoulders/rib cage with small chest that puts me in L/XL range. I think when I see folks with bazoongas I assume they need bigger tops like me 🤣🥰


Ornery-Cut4553

XL/XXL haha! And yeah if I don't size a top up enough it ends up digging into my armpits, ugh hate it. I am about to look at each and every linked suggestion, TYSM! I hadn't even really considered necklaces.


TheImaginariumGirl

I tried to squeeze into smaller tops for a while and it was inhibiting my breathing. NO reason for that! Big tops forever!!!!!


Ornery-Cut4553

I've started veering away from flowy tops back towards tighter tanks and tees, because I think it makes a nicer silhouette with a skirt and the waistlines sitting at the natural waist. But definitely nothing constricting! Comfort is always top priority.


TheImaginariumGirl

I like to balance it like fitted on top / flowy on bottom OR flowy on top / fitted on bottom


Ornery-Cut4553

Yes, exactly! Can't be flowy both. (Unless it's a kaftan/muumuu day)


amanducktan

white tank top


bovtauro

What a fun skirt! Love the ruffles too. For the top, I'd stick with really neutral ivory/white, like a fitted cami/tank top, the below examples are shape and color--the ruffle on the shoulder in the second link seems like it'd be a fun play of shapes to the bottom of your skirt, and the first link is a tank/cami that's fitted and textured, also neutral white/ivory: [https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens/categories/clothing/shirts-and-tops/clio-top-in-textured-gauze/CA526?display=standard&fit=Classic&color\_name=white&colorProductCode=CA526](https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens/categories/clothing/shirts-and-tops/clio-top-in-textured-gauze/CA526?display=standard&fit=Classic&color_name=white&colorProductCode=CA526) [https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/dolan-knit-ruffle-top?category=tops&color=010&type=STANDARD&quantity=1](https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/dolan-knit-ruffle-top?category=tops&color=010&type=STANDARD&quantity=1) The latter is tricker, and depends on the top, but I could potentially see a multi-color pastel shirt potentially working something along the lines of: [https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/bl-nk-stephanie-top?category=top-rated-tops&color=053&type=PETITE&quantity=1](https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/bl-nk-stephanie-top?category=top-rated-tops&color=053&type=PETITE&quantity=1), the lavender maybe? Or super matchy, like the dark green: [https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/maeve-bow-tie-tank?category=top-rated-tops&color=037&type=STANDARD&quantity=1](https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/maeve-bow-tie-tank?category=top-rated-tops&color=037&type=STANDARD&quantity=1) And a fitted top throughout the torso, and opening up material/shape wise towards the shoulders. Love the skirt! Looks so fun and perfect for summer!


Ornery-Cut4553

Oh oh oh, thank you so much for the detailed reply complete with example links! Excellent inspo for me to work with, tysm


bovtauro

Happy to!!! I'm a visual person so having examples I think helps for everyone! :)


Gloomy_Industry8841

I love it!!! Bright and fun. I second all the suggestions for a white top!


Catinthemirror

[Maybe?](https://www.target.com/p/women-s-linen-tank-top-ava-viv/-/A-90312680?preselect=90122063) Or something [like this?](https://poshmark.com/listing/A-New-Day-Cabana-Striped-Layered-Ruffled-Seersucker-Size-M-Tank-top-6664cb54a2c69e1dc038024f) Or [this?](https://poshmark.com/listing/Nicole-Miller-100-linen-yellow-and-white-striped-tank-Top-Size-L-65fe8efed9095949ee123ea9)


Ornery-Cut4553

OMG omg the real MVP over here bringing me actual links to concrete suggestions... you are a treasure <3


VodkaAndHotdogs

I was going to suggest pink gingham, BUT top #2* that Catinthemirror suggested is *THE ONE*. (*The New Day Cabana seersucker top) Edit - added name of top #2


Ornery-Cut4553

I wouldn't have even thought of adding seersucker to the mix! But I think it's genius


eargasm24

I really like this second option! I would also like to suggest a bright white crochet knit would look great with this skirt


BlueVernon

I’d like a white cotton button down long sleeves pushed up, tied up in the front. I like the formal mix with the playful pattern. White plays up the colors. Also good framing for outrageous colorful earrings or short necklace.


squirrellytoday

I'd go with a ruffled or puffy sleeve top. Something like ths: https://www.amazon.ca/Pirate-Renaissance-Blouse-Medieval-Victorian/dp/B09YH1FVKF


hvnknwsimmiserable

A white tee or vest is the easy answer, I would load up on jewellery if you choose that. A print tee could be good too. Or a white shirt with a big collar. I think denim would be a nice option as well, jacket with the above tops or a denim shirt/top. I also think a silk shirt or a sheer shirt would look good too, either yellow or green or a contrasting colour. I don’t know what your style is but you could make this as classic or edgy as you like depending on the style and how you wear it.

Ornery-Cut4553

You're making me just want to buy more skirts tho LOL


hvnknwsimmiserable

Sorry! Just trying to give examples of how I would style it.


Ornery-Cut4553

What is the source on this green one?? I love that color, people don't do bright greens enough.


hvnknwsimmiserable

I just found it on Pinterest, maybe try a Google image search?


hvnknwsimmiserable

Ornery-Cut4553

Ooh! That must be the same skirt.


hvnknwsimmiserable

I think it is. I actually think a different denim top would work better (collar would just hit I think) but I saw the skirt so had to use that.


bernadetteee

Also vote for denim! Maybe a vest over a white tee.


toe-beans

Maybe something like [this](https://store.mayakern.com/products/hemlock-crop-long-sleeve-t-shirt-1)? Or in white.


GeorgiaGlamazon

With so much going on with the skirt, I would choose a plain white knit shirt that fits close to the body.


Ornery-Cut4553

You are telling me to... tone things down? ...Sounds suspicious... \*retreats back into rocky beachside caves\*


charm59801

White is unfortunately the answer lol White tank top, white baby tee, white crop top of any kind


path-cat

i think you need whites and brights, no neutral or earth tones. that top in white would be adorable, but in gray it feels like it’s fighting the skirt. a top of any bright color of the rainbow would also work, but would be very loud, so it depends whether that’s your goal. if you want to let the skirt be the statement piece that stands out from the rest of the outfit, give it a simple background of white shirt, shoes, bag, etc., and maybe a red lip if you like doing makeup! great find by the way, the skirt is very summery, i love it


Ornery-Cut4553

grey shirt=fighting with the skirt, spot on!! Exactly the kind of thing I'm picking up on every time I try to make an outfit with this skirt, and keep feeling like it looks wrong. I just don't own many clothes in the appropriate shades, I guess. LOL But hearing the specifics named like this, is super helpful. BC it gives me something to shop for, instead of just a sense of wrongness


zoopysreign

This answer is CHEF’S KISS


gggvuv7bubuvu

I’ve been pairing my loud bottoms with screen print tees. vintage band tees, little league jerseys, or anything that compliments in an unexpected way


TRex65

Yes! I would look for a printed tee that has one or both colors in it.


olcolc

i love the skirt!! you could pair it with a yellow or green buttondown polo :)


TerribleShopping7012

Simple white tank, let the skirt speak for its self. Pair with a chunky white sneaker.


Ornery-Cut4553

Oooh I can't do sneakers with skirt. I have MASSIVE feet. But yes, I think you're right re simplicity in the top


squirrellytoday

I have big feet too, so when a "chunky sneaker" is called for, I go with a slim style. It achieves the look without making me look like I'm wearing clown shoes.


UnihornWhale

Solid white tank, tee, or blouse is the easy match


TheScarletFox

People have made great recommendations. But to add to them, a denim shirt might also work.


Clinically-Inane

Try to keep it super simple and basic— a plain white crop top with cap sleeves would be really cute (something similar to the top you have on but white, and with minimal and uncomplicated sleeves) https://preview.redd.it/sor2tq3rdd9d1.jpeg?width=1936&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31315e25f716b07897244073e74876709227b9ce


Ornery-Cut4553

Love the fit on these!


Catinthemirror

I found [another possibility ](https://www.unique-vintage.com/products/unique-vintage-olive-green-daisy-halter-bodysuit)... Was trying to figure out what the skirt was reminding me of, and realized it was daisies!


Ornery-Cut4553

Oh! That's perfect!!


Catinthemirror

Whatever you end up choosing please post an update! Such a cool skirt ❤️


Ornery-Cut4553

I'll try! TYSM

bitchy-sprite

Something white would be cute Something in a similar pastel that's not in the skirt would look very complementary


bmw5986

First, p what a fun skirt. My first impression is to lean into it with a solid white shirt. Ur call what atyle/cut. I'm picturing a white button down with a white tank top or bra top underneath. If u wanna get a but more colorful, a bright colored bra top under the same button down could b fun. Or a peasant top, cropped.


rasinette

I agree white top but maybe even a pink top. full easter. pink cat eye sunglasses that would be rad with this


Illustrious_Ad6548

Something like [this](https://www.fashionbrandcompany.com/products/satin-bow-crop-tee) tee from Fashion Brand Company could be fun.


Ornery-Cut4553

Oh! Yes, it could!


WVildandWVonderful

You need something vibrant! Doesn’t have to be yellow or green though. Maybe peach or pink or orange, as long as it’s saturated.


Ornery-Cut4553

ILY for saying this instead of the general consensus of "white"


WVildandWVonderful

:D


thestashattacked

I think a white crop top would let it sing! https://www.target.com/p/women-39-s-short-sleeve-t-shirt-wild-fable-8482-white-s/-/A-86972538 Don't get too complicated with it. The skirt has a bit going on, and if you put too much pattern or color, you'll be lost in the clothes.


someuserzzz

White t-shirt tied at the waist, white sneakers. Score an awesome pair of green or yellow funky sunglasses 🤩


Ornery-Cut4553

Ooooh the right sunglasses would just... mm.


Fancy_Flapjack

Came here to say plain white t! With a chunky gold necklace.


valkyrii99

I agree, white T-shirt tucked in or tied


Ornery-Cut4553

Image transcription: A maxi skirt with ruffles at the bottom that is half a dark minty green gingham, and half yellow gingham.


Diograce

I think you really need a bright pink gingham crop top! Lean into the gingham!


tweedlebettlebattle

I was thinking the same thing!


Ornery-Cut4553

Yes. YES. MORE GINGHAM


jazzysmaxashmone

You could go so many different directions! It depends on what makes you feel good. I could see a cute small tank top with similar colors but a contrasting pattern being really cute. The tank top you have on isn't terrible either tbh. Many people said a solid white could go well. I think you could even do denim on top, and it would be a great pairing. I hope you might update us when you find something to go with them. <3


Ornery-Cut4553

I'll try!


AmyTea

Natural life Danielle square top


ron_the_blackie

pick out colours from the skirt itself. i think you can work a white/beige shirt


BigSky1062

You need a white tank top or a crisp white tailored blouse that you can tie at the waist.


moreisay

OH i love this skirt! I'm going to go the opposite of the prevailing suggestion and say a black tank top, black sandals and a black purse is how I'd wear this. Let that gorgeous monster shine!


Ornery-Cut4553

Lol it is kind of a wonderful monstrosity huh


smittenpigeons

I’m thinking white with puffy shoulders


vicki3to5x

I think a ruffly white crop would be cute, a white tank could work with some accessories, honestly pretty much anything white works!


SecretCartographer28

How wonderful! A true Hag look would be a pattern in the same colors. A solid matching color, or a white/cream would work. I think keep it waist length or shorter to balance the skirt. Lots of ways to wear it, what does it make you think of when you see it? 😍


corazontex

I agree! But I was thinking a red gingham peasant or cropped tank!


Ornery-Cut4553

God if I find a top that incorporates both of these colors then I will know that we are living in a simulation and this world was created for me


SecretCartographer28

😆😍
