Le Gilet Noué Knotted Cotton-Blend Top

Last summer, Jacquemus nestled its runway collection within fields of lavender. This summer, the French label turns to the more rustic setting of a wheat field to evoke its romantic side – expect lightweight layers and muted palettes. Take the Le Gilet Noué top, for example. Knitted from a breezy cotton blend with a plunging neckline and knotted front, it channels the typical Southern French insouciance the label is known for.

• 70% cotton, 27% polyamide, 3% viscose

Essentially pared back and minimalist, self-taught French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus pairs tradition and modernity with playful irreverence. Classic references meet with unexpected proportions and distinctive details, in collections that are youthful, fresh, yet with a timeless elegance.
