The tie top is an easy-fitting drop-shoulder top defined by its long, tapered waist ties. Its deceptively simple shape is transformed depending on how the ties are worn, with three unique silhouette options that make it exceptionally versatile and easy to dress up or down. The top fits fairly loosely over the bust and shoulders, then is brought in at the waist by the ties for an easily adjustable fit. The length is a bit cropped so that it pairs perfectly with high-waisted pants and skirts.

The cuff tee’s defining features are, unsurprisingly, its cuffs. They are wide and structured, standing out from the body and elegantly mirroring the diagonal swoop of the neckline. Like the tie top, the cuff tee can be worn in multiple ways. For a less architectural, more casual look, the cuffs can easily be folded in half. The neckline is reversible—worn “backwards,” the scoop hits just below the collarbones, and the V dips between the shoulder blades.
