When I think about spring I love the thought of lightweight clothing and flowing fabrics. Although this usually means wearing a lot of dresses, there are several tops out there that have that same gliding movement. This Handkerchief Knit Top, for example, has an interesting shape that moves pleasantly with every step.

While simplistic in pattern, this garment still has some eye-catching features. A rounded collar comes to a gentle point in the center, mirroring the rounded asymmetrical hemline. Normally princess seaming is closer together, but on this top the seamwork is spread wider apart for a more relaxed look. The rounded asymmetrical hem is loose so that the fabric drapes in wide ruffle shapes. Three-quarter length sleeves are just right for warmer springtime weather. Usually longer tops like this are flattering on bottom heavy women; however, that may not be the case here. Since the asymmetrical hem creates a wide arcing shape it could overemphasize the midsection in an unsightly way.

Color choices are limited to only two shades. Periwinkle is a warmer color, but it’s not very vibrant. Nevertheless, it is a serene shade that is relaxing for the season. For those who prefer neutral colors, White is also available.

Pairing this top with wide leg pants, capris, or even a skirt should create a laid-back casual ensemble. While this style may be appropriate for casual work environments, it might look a little out of place at more formal engagements.
