Feeling Peasant Tops Again

They're easy, loose, and pretty-- What's not to love?

I used to wear flowy, poetic shirts all the time because they felt like the right thing to pair with jeans to keep things feminine, but still cool. I slowly replaced them with boyish button-downs, that I still love, but now I find myself looking for those romantic tops again, because they feel fresh, but still and classic. There are so many good ones around like Ulla Johnson’s pretty pin-tucked number that’s just as sexy as it is sweet.

I love Dôen’s hand-blocked blouse with short poufy sleeves—Just the kind of thing for a mid-winter break somewhere warm, and, aside from white (use the code ANDREAL15 for these and site wide) or blue jeans, I picture it with a full cotton skirt like this.

Madewell’s classic black number has a cute square neck.

This one looks like a classic cotton Indian top, with an updated, less boho print.

This pretty Gap 100% cotton version with lace inlays also comes in black, and is now 50% off (for a limited time).

This organic cotton button-down from &Other Stories has pretty embroidery and comes in white and black, too. Use the code ANDREA15 for 15% off the whole site.

ba&sh’s gold blouse is fun and festive, even during the day.

This flowy black number just went from $54 to $12! But not for long…

Zadig & Voltaire’s Tigy Satin Blouse in a good, punchy red and has pretty pleating and buttons so you can go as high or low as you want. Plus, it’s now on sale.

You can wear Quince’s cotton gauze version now and all through the summer (love the white and Indigo Blue, too)

Alix of Bohemia’s dramatic top features hand-printed trim on the front and cuffs— So special!

I love the juicy orange shade of Madewell’s Shirred Top, but, if it’s really not your color, you can also get white, blue or black.

The puffed trim makes this a more simple take on printed old hippie tops from the ‘70s.

I wouldn’t necessarily call this cotton J.Crew/Liberty collab a “peasant top” but it’s so pretty, and kind of comes close in an old-school YSL way. And it’s on big sale.

This one by Rails is made of a linen/rayon blend and perfect for warmer days. Plus, the little Victorian pleating is a nice touch.
