Lace Patchwork Round Neck Long Sleeve Top in White

A plain white long sleeve top is useful. A white long sleeve top with lace worked through it is the one you actually reach for. The lace patchwork breaks up the surface so the top has something to look at, while the round neck and the long sleeve keep the shape simple enough to wear on an ordinary Tuesday without feeling overdressed.

The fabric is 65 percent polyester, 30 percent viscose and 5 percent elastane, which is where the slight stretch comes from. That elastane is worth noting because it lets the top follow your shape and spring back rather than holding a stretched out elbow all day. Sizes run S through XL. The bust measures 39.4 inches in a small and 47.2 inches in an extra large, top length runs 25.2 to 27.6 inches, and sleeve length sits between 20.7 and 21.1 inches. White is the only colorway.

Tuck it into jeans or a skirt and the lace does the work of an accessory. Leave it out over leggings when the day calls for less effort. It layers under a blazer for work, under a slip dress for something less expected, or on its own once the weather warms up. White sits with every color you own, so this is a piece that earns its place by never being the reason an outfit does not work.
