If you are considering to be on the road for a longer amount of time, then packing four to five should be sufficient. Either way, you should always consult those other outfits that you picked out, before packing many tops. In other words, do not start to fit all those tops before picking out pants, and a dress! To help you with your process, we have narrowed it down to packing two tops that are solid colored, and one that might add some life to those solid colored bottoms.

Two of them could be camisoles, while one of them could be of your choosing. Camisoles are just great because they are elegant, simple, and are light to pack! This way you should be set with your outfits.
