The Barbara top  has the smart collar with a soft V-neck opening - just enough detail to frame the neckline beautifully. It gives a polished look but it's completely wearable for everyday.

The fabric has a really nice weight to it - not flimsy at all - so it sits properly on the body and drapes smoothly instead of clinging. That little bit of structure makes such a difference. And there is generous space around the tummy area - it skims nicely instead of catching.

The print with green tones mixed with soft taupe and hints of black on a cream base. It pairs beautifully with black or taupe trousers and is perfect when you want something flattering but with a bit more statement.

It's one of those tops that makes you feel dresses up...without actually trying too hard.
