Liassite Checked Sleeveless Tweed Top

Part of that beloved clutch of Parisian brands, Maje borrows from the French capital's classic design tropes while subverting them for the 21st century. Take the Liassite top as proof. A spin on the prim tweed jacket, it's cut to a sleeveless shape and swathed in bright checks, while the soft textured fabric is spun using recycled fibres to reduce the environmental impact. Style it as a set with the coordinating shorts, as intended.

• 39% acrylic, 36% recycled polyester, 20% wool, 2% viscose, 2% polyamide, 1% cotton

Marrying everyday luxury with a nonchalant elegance, Maje helped popularise the now-iconic 'French' look, and continues to be a touchstone for effortless Parisian style.
