How to Style the Guinevere Top for Work and Evening

Quick answer

For work, wear the Guinevere Top tucked into tailored trousers or a midi skirt with a neutral blazer; for evening, switch to a slip skirt or dark denim and add statement earrings and a clutch. The broderie anglaise lace is the focal point, so keep layers and accessories simple.

Step-by-step styling for work and evening

1. Start with the right base layer: Choose a seamless, nude or white bra that won’t show through the broderie anglaise. A camisole in a matching tone can add coverage if you prefer. Check in natural light before leaving to ensure no visible lines.
2. Build the work outfit: Tuck the Guinevere Top into high-waisted tailored trousers or a pencil skirt. Add a single-breasted blazer in navy, black, or beige, and finish with low pumps or loafers. Keep the blazer slightly shorter than the top’s hem to avoid a bulky waistline.
3. Transition to evening: Swap the tailored bottom for a satin slip skirt or dark straight-leg jeans. Remove the blazer and add a leather jacket or a fine knit draped over the shoulders if you need warmth. A change of shoe—from pump to strappy sandal or ankle boot—instantly shifts the formality.
4. Choose accessories that frame the lace: For work, wear small stud earrings and a structured tote. For evening, switch to statement earrings and a compact clutch. Avoid long necklaces that compete with the floral pattern. Let one accessory be the focus; the top’s texture is already detailed.
5. Care for the broderie anglaise: Hand wash cold or use a delicate cycle in a mesh bag, then lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or tumble drying to protect the lace applique. Store folded rather than hung to prevent stretching.
