By Malina Tops and Blouses: Satin, Sculpted and Easy to Style

By Malina tops and blouses fall into three groups: satin blouses with high necks and draped shoulders, sculpted tops with structured shoulders and corset seams, and easy oversized blouses with balloon sleeves. They are priced from $400 to $940 in the Coveti edit, and they are cut to pair with the label’s satin trousers and skirts.

Tops are one of the most searched By Malina categories, and for good reason. A By Malina top does the job of a dress at a fraction of the commitment: you get the same cut and the same fabric, and you can wear it with jeans on a Tuesday. This guide sorts the collection by type, with fit notes and pairings.

Satin blouses and tops

Satin is the material the label is best known for, and the satin tops carry the same clean finish as the dresses.

• Vilja Blouse in Ruby, from $740: a relaxed satin blouse with a high neck, a tie at the neck and a wide waistband, in acetate and polyester. It matches the Vilja Mini Dress in Ruby, so you can buy into the shape twice. It also comes in pearl.
• Valentina Top in Black, from $620: a sleeveless satin top with a sculpted silhouette, knotted shoulder details and a pleated hem for soft volume. It is also cut in pearl.
• Aria Blouse in Pearl, from $620: a one shoulder satin blouse with an asymmetric hem and a draped silhouette, in 100% viscose.
• Malou Shirt in Black, from $650: a fitted satin shirt with a classic collar, a concealed front, lace detail on the long sleeves and a lace trim at the hem with side slits.

Also in this group: the Petronella Top in Black, an asymmetric satin top with sheer detailing and silk trims, and the Zilla Blouse in Black, a relaxed acetate blouse with a draped front and a brooch detail.

Sculpted tops

These pieces have structure built in. They sit close to the body and follow the dress sizing exactly.

• Ninni Top in Black, from $620: a structured hourglass top with a deep V, structured shoulders with a cut-out and long sleeves, closed with a hidden zip at the back. It is cut in black, camel, ruby and pearl, and it matches the Ninni Mini Dress.
• Bellina Top in Black, from $620: a strapless corset top with sculpted seams and a peplum hem. Wear it with the Smilla trousers for evening.

The Mereya Top is a cropped jacquard top with wide shoulder straps, in Savannah Metallic and Burnt Leaf, which matches the Meline Midi Skirt. The Tindra Top in Black is a fitted fringe top with barrel sleeves.

Easy oversized blouses

If you want volume rather than structure, these are cut wide through the body with a dramatic sleeve.

• Cleo Blouse in Camel, from $580: an oversized blouse with a pouf balloon sleeve and hidden hooks at the front, in recycled polyester with a lining. It is also cut in black and mango, which makes the Cleo one of the most versatile tops in the edit.
• Novalie Blouse in Black, from $620: an oversized blouse with a barrel sleeve and a wide body, also in ivory and moss green.

The Sophie Blouse is a gathered cupro and viscose blouse with a voluminous sleeve and button detail, in prints including Savannah and Blooms. The Bea Blouse is a chiffon blouse with contrast edges and a voluminous sleeve. The Havanna Blouse in Pearl is cropped, with a boat neck and pouf sleeves. The Ruthie Blouse in Teal is a cropped long sleeve blouse with a slit sleeve. The Nicole Blouse in Soft Pink is a sheer organza blouse in 100% silk with a wide cuff.

Shirts and lace

• Philippa Embellished Lace Shirt in Black, from $940: a relaxed V-neck shirt in sheer lace with pearl embellishment. It comes in black, camel and pearl, and matches the Pamela lace trousers. The pearl version is part of the bridal line.

The Moa Oversized Shirt is a short sleeve sheer knitted shirt with an intricate pattern, sold in letter sizes; size down for a less oversized look. The Emaline Shirt in Shaded Dot is an oversized viscose shirt with side slits. The Meja Shirt in Brown Wash is a fitted denim shirt with a wide sleeve, made in Istanbul. The Armida Shirt in Black is a relaxed embroidered linen and viscose shirt.

Jersey and knit tops

For the days between occasions, By Malina makes a small group of jersey and knit tops in letter sizes.

• Signe Top in Dark Brown, from $620: a fitted draped jersey top with long sleeves, in viscose with a lining.

The Eileen Top in Teal is a short sleeve polo in an alpaca and wool blend with a silver button. The Nanna Top is a ribbed knitted polo with a chest pocket. The Neija Top in Dusty Olive is an asymmetric one shoulder top with a brooch.

What to wear with By Malina tops

Satin on satin

By Malina cuts satin trousers to go with its satin tops. The Sarah Trousers are high waisted satin trousers with an elastic waist, in black, vanilla and black marble. The Smilla Satin Trousers have a barrel leg and front pleats. A satin blouse with a satin trouser in the same colour reads as one long line.

With a skirt

The Aubree Midi Skirt in Steel Blue is an ankle length satin skirt with an elastic waist. The Heylin Midi Skirt has an asymmetric hem with lace trim. Pair a sculpted top with a fluid skirt, never two structured pieces together.

With denim

An oversized Cleo blouse with the Katia jeans is the easiest weekend look the label offers. Tuck the front in, leave the back out.

Editor’s note: if you are buying your first By Malina top, I would start with the Cleo in camel. The sleeve gives it presence, the colour works with black and denim, and it is one of the lower prices in the edit.
