What to wear with this skirt?

I bought this skirt a little while ago but haven't yet worn it as I'm not sure what to wear it with (never worn a skirt like this before but it was a bargain so didn't want to pass it up)

http://www.clothingattesco.com/skirts/f+f-limited-edition-aztec-print-tube-maxi-skirt/invt/jg111450/

I have quite a few pairs of flat shoes, sandals etc so will probably have some footwear to go with it. It's just a top I'll need. I've got a black t-shirt but it's quite tight as is the skirt is at the top so I don't want to look like a giant tube!

What colour top would you wear with it and what style?

Thanks :)

    A loose asymmetric top in any colour you like perhaps with short capped sleeves but not frilly as the frills could argue with the stripes. You might even get away with a polka dot (if either the back ground or spot is black or grey).

    I would wear a short fitted very sheer blouse with it in either black or white with a plain bright coloured strappy vest top underneath:)

    I think something plain and fitted like a bright-ish strappy top or a vest would actually look nice with it. Or a white top with bright(red?) accessories.

    I agree, depends where you're wearing this skirt, work or just casual wear. I'd put it with a strappy vest top, black or white probably or for work maybe a short sleeved white blouse, capped sleeve to give a little bit of shape at the top.

    Really depends what 'your' style is. Personally I wouldn't add it with anything 'floaty' as the skirt looks floaty you end up one big floaty thing wafting about! lol

    I agree too, a nice vest top would look lovely, and some nice chunky long beads :)

    Another vote for a vest top here, perhaps with some detail around the neckline

    I wouldn't wear anything too tight or fitted with this skirt or 'see through' as the elasticated waistband would be visible( not a good look). A plain white top with cap /3/4 sleeves would do it with a nice longish necklace.

    I have the same skirt! I just wear mine with a plain white vest and a long necklace that has a turquoise stone on it.

    Sorry that's not much help but my taste is very plain and simple, but I would definitely not wear anything frilly or floaty with it. :)
