Let's touch on tops — styles that can complete, layer, and accompany bottoms. The silhouettes have shifted, the fits adjusted, and the classics remain true. The vest, the bustier, the tank, the tee, and the oxford.
The vest is a summer staple for some, a layer to come, and a part of a set for the future. They have been worn casually styled with denim or paired with wide-leg trousers during the summer months. Adopt this piece for the coming seasons.
The boxy oxford is a shift in fit and silhouette, forgiving in construction and effortlessly oversized. Menswear-inspired in fabrication, Everlane offers an organic cotton take on this closet staple.
Never enough, the white tee continues, and the lock stitched hem, sleeve, and neck in rib fabrication details are a new take on this item from NA-KD. An organic cotton blend with noted sustainable practices from this brand and the style priced at an accessible price point for a wardrobe essential. Not a fan of white? Fear not; the whole gamut of the color range is readily available for this style.
The bustier has been having a moment, looking to add a little nip, tuck, and push-up. The ET OCHS bustier offers a refined option with a low scoop in the front and a perfect amount of gathering that ensures this is not the bandage-dressing moment but rather an inevitable renewal of reformation.
The Frankie Shop striped tank tied-back detailing ensures this tank is differentiated from what might already be offered within someone's wardrobe. Could the tied-back tank pair ideally in unison with the No21 slide with encouragement, signifying the opposition and tethered pull of the in-between? Quite a fruitful approach to what will bloom.
