Henley Tops
A Henley top is a casual shirt style that features a notch neckline and a dipped hemline, along with faux buttons and pleated placket detailing, making it great for layering or wearing on its own. Our Henley tops are made from cotton, making them breathable and soft, perfect for a casual summer day. Available in a range of patterns, there’s something to complement everyone’s style and complexion.
Which henley tops should I consider if I want breathable fabrics for humid days?
- For humid days, choose henley tops made from breathable fabrics such as linen or lightweight cotton, as these allow air to circulate and help keep you cool.
- If you expect to sweat more, opt for moisturr wicking materials, which dry quickly and prevent that sticky feeling in humid conditions.
Broderie Tops
Broderie tops are lightweight garments featuring a delicate, decorative technique that combines cut out eyelets and intricate stitching to create floral or geometric patterns. These tops are loved for their feminine, airy, and vintage inspired look, and can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
Which broderie tops are best for layering over swimwear for beach cover ups?
- The best broderie tops for layering over swimwear are loose, breathable styles made from lightweight cotton, as the embroidered cut outs allow air to circulate and keep you cool in hot, humid weather.
- Oversized shirt or tunic designs work particularly well because they are easy to throw on, don’t cling to damp skin, and provide light coverage while still showing your swimwear underneath.
Floral Tops
There are many reasons why floral tops deserve a place in your summer wardrobe. Florals are a timeless pattern that have always been in style and they’re not going anywhere any time soon. They’re incredibly versatile, making them easy to style and perfect for a variety of occasions. Floral prints also bring a sense of seasonal freshness, adding a cheerful touch that can give your mood a real boost during the summer months.
Compare printed vs embroidered floral tops?
- Printed floral tops have the design applied/printed directly to the fabric, making them lightweight, smooth, and breathable ideal for casual, everyday wear.
- Embroidered floral tops have stitched designs that add texture and a more premium, decorative look, but they are slightly heavier and less airy.
- Overall, printed florals are better for comfort and warmth, while embroidered florals are best for style and visual detail.

What fabrics are best for comfortable summer blouses?
The best fabrics for comfortable summer blouses are lightweight, breathable, and moisture absorbing. Natural fibres like cotton, linen, and lightweight rayon are ideal because they allow air to circulate, wick away sweat, and feel soft against the skin. Fabrics with a loose weave or slight stretch can also help keep you cool and comfortable in hot weather.
