There’s nothing French girls and stylish New Yorkers agree on in the summertime more than pretty white tops, specifically those of the vintage, embroidered sort. Here in NYC, I see them on every block, and on Instagram, I spot them daily in cities across France—from Paris to Marseille—paired with string bikini bottoms, billowy white skirts, and crochet shorts. But usually, the easy, heat-proof blouses get packed away when the first signs of fall arrive. This year, however, a number of well-dressed fans are set on keeping this specific top style in their rotations through autumn, using strategic styling tricks to make the summer staple feel surprisingly seasonless.
