Floral Breeze Top

The drama of the sleeve really does steal the show. It’s not your garden-variety, basic bell sleeve – oh no, this one’s got attitude to match. From just above the elbow it sweeps out in a breezy, bold arc, and the lettuce hem ripples at the edge, giving you this marvellous wrist flourish every time you check your watch for when happy hour starts. But there’s always a method behind the drama – and here it is: it’s what keeps you cool on a sticky summer day, when all you want to do is enjoy life and not bake under heavy polyester knits.

It’s also stretchy – and if that isn’t music to your ears I don’t know what is. The neckline is high and holds its own without being stifling, and because there’s plenty of airy mesh everywhere else, it never feels constricting. It hugs in all the right spots without being clingy anywhere else. And while there are several colourways to choose from, every version of this floral has enough personality for two tops – without overwhelming even delicate accessories.
