It’s the semi-formal top that you need for work or to throw on over your jeans for a night out. View A has a jewel neck, a pleat at the back neckline, and bracelet length sleeves. View B is sleeveless and features a soft v-neck. Both are subtly geometric as they have centre seams in the front and back as well as a wide hem.

What we think: Understated and elegant, this top is bound to become a firm favourite.

Suggested fabrics: Light to medium weight fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk, rayon, voile, or lawn. Avoid fabrics that are too stiff since this top requires a bit of drape.
