Trust Me, I've Tested It On—This High-Street Top Looks Surprisingly Designer

      Spring has just begun, yet distinct trends are already starting to emerge for the new season. Waisted shapes have gained popularity over the last few seasons and are expected to reach new heights this spring. With the arrival of warm, leisurely days, there’s a transition towards bohemian styles, with delicate blouses leading the trend as a gateway to this aesthetic. I've discovered a top that combines these two significant trends: the elegant Bubble-Mem Pintuck Top from Arket.

      Arket consistently impresses with its meticulous attention to detail, allowing the high street brand to create pieces that appear luxurious, and this top is a perfect instance of that. I was initially drawn in by the pintuck bodice details that establish the waisted silhouette. While this detail is lovely on its own, the brand elevates it further with wider straps and a playful bubble hem that highlights the fitted waist, crafting a striking hourglass figure.

      I must admit that I often feel cautious when encountering button-front tops, but the design ensures there won't be any visible skin between the closures. This top is now set to enhance both my casual looks and my office attire. I opted for my usual size 38 (UK 10) in this top, which fits true to size, a consistency I've noticed with Arket’s items. The top is available in two colors: a crisp white and a deep navy, both made from 100% cotton, and they feel incredibly luxurious to the touch.

      Since trying on this top, I cannot stop envisioning spring outfits that will instantly refresh my classic capsule wardrobe. My wide-leg jeans perfectly counterbalance the bold peplum hem of this top, while a straight linen skirt will add a touch of elegance. On warmer days, when I aim for a casual yet polished look, I'm incorporating relaxed cut-off shorts and easy slip-on sandals into my outfits. Even dressing for dinner has become simpler, as this top pairs beautifully with satin trousers or tailored styles and chic mules.
