3 Ways to Wear the Vivi Top

Ways to Wear the Vivi Top

It’s a blouse, it’s a tee. It’s Vivi. Behold Vivi, the hybrid Summer top that exquisitely blends a blouse and tee with transcendent design to effortlessly usher in the season.

With smocked and gathered paneling at the side seams, Vivi cinches gracefully at the waist, while a slightly cropped and boxy silhouette doubly ensures a flattering and curve-hugging look that maintains ample coverage. A jewel neckline and antique brass snap-button closure in back add detail, while structured shoulders and roomy short sleeves bring a sense of shape and exciting dimension.

Vivi bestows the unmatched comfort and wearability of your beloved go-to tee, amplified by plenty of elevated panache to invigorate and even formalize your outfit. In lightweight cotton Voile, Vivi accompanies you throughout the entire season and beyond. From sun-kissed days spent perusing the city scenery to evenings at your favorite restaurant, Vivi challenges our notion of a mere t-shirt, captivating with unique construction and undeniable style.

Voltaic Wash Icicle brings a shades-of-blue moment that cools down even the hottest of Summer days. A mesmerizing crinkled tie-dye ombre features light blue, navy, and white, and creates a subdued yet brightening wardrobe addition. Lean into the cool-toned bohemian flair of this colorway and opt for some linen in your look with pieces like the Staccia Gaucho pant in Navy. On this trouser, a flared wide-leg cropped cut boasts cargo pockets and a stretchy drawstring waist to keep things functional and relaxed, while a raw edge hem adds to the bohemian, slightly artful, laid-back yet altogether polished vibe of the entire outfit. Opt for some simple sandals in a neutral hue to tie things together.

When the breeze kicks in, grab the cotton Wendell Button-Up in White for an easily thrown-on layer that takes the outfit to the next dimension. Wendell’s textured material instantly elevates the classic oversize button-up look, while the cropped and cinched fit of the Vivi Top ensures a harmonious symphony of
proportions.

Bid farewell to the constraints of conventional fashion—color-blocking reigns supreme beyond the confines of 2012! Unleash your creative prowess and forge unique color combinations that dance on the canvas of your attire without overwhelming the discerning eye like it’s 2012. Using more subdued, earthy hues results in a cleaner color story that still packs plenty of punch. In burnt orange-tan Terra Cotta, the Vivi Top conjures a scorching desert landscape or radiant sunshine on a stucco roof in Summer—making this colorway perfect for the Summer season. Color-block your way through getting dressed by trying the Francine Maxi Skirt with Vivi, either in sandy Merino Wool Pigment or classic Navy blue. Francine features a smocked stretchy waist and detailed cargo pockets with antique brass grommets and zippers. A tactical-meets-boho piece, Francine feels lightweight in linen and allows for plenty of breeze. Let the smocked detail of both Vivi and Francine become an ode to texture—an ensemble that celebrates the craftsmanship and detail of these pieces, especially when worn together.

Go for some earthy enchantment with Francine in Merino Wool paired with Vivi in Terra Cotta, and crown your ensemble with a sandal in rich brown or cognac.

For a pop of color, accessorize with hints of teal or even another shade of orange. Utilizing adjacent colors creates a one-of-a-kind outfit that revels in the harmonious interplay of colors. Alternatively, indulge in the commanding elegance of the Francine Maxi in Navy and create a look that’s perfect for evenings out and about. Pair with some neutral high-heeled sandals and a fun, sophisticated accessory like a red clutch plus your favorite shiny jewelry in silver or yellow gold. Sweep up your hair into a slick bun and you’re set for a night out in a look that just as easily and movably adapts to any casual activity you might run into.

Dark forest green Deep Fern pigment brings nature’s foliage straight to you. In this hue, Vivi celebrates earthly excellence, inviting you to embrace the natural world within the realm of your wardrobe. Keep things lively and opt for a bottom in a lighter neutral or pristine white, like the Sumas Culotte in White. A cropped pant with a paper-bag waist, tabbed hems, and cargo pockets with d-ring hardware details, Sumas seamlessly blends tactical wear with casual, resort-inspired style. Grab an indigo denim jacket to throw over your ensemble and create some contrast, and opt for a shoe that ties it all together in a complementary hue—sneakers and heels both work, depending on your desired overall style. Throw on some gold jewelry to infuse a touch of unbridled glamor and you’re all set!

The Vivi Top remarkably unites the comfort of a tee with elevated style and structure, adorning you in a garment that blurs stylistic boundaries, making her a versatile choice for just about any season. With smocked paneling, a cinched waist, and a slightly boxy yet charming fit, Vivi envelops you in a figure-flattering embrace while maintaining an athletic edge. The splendid array of Voltaic Wash Icicle, Terra Cotta, and Deep Fern pigments provides a captivating selection for a diverse range of aesthetics, solidifying Vivi’s status as an indisputable pick for styling immaculate Summer looks. From exhilarating metropolitan adventures to enchanting evenings out on the town, Vivi challenges and surpasses our perceptions of a t-shirt design with unique construction and unapologetic style.

Whether worn for casual outings or formal affairs, the Vivi Top unveils an endless tapestry of possibilities, empowering you to fashion looks that not only enthrall the eye, but embrace your every movement with unparalleled grace and
ultimate comfort.
