Spring may have only just sprung, but clear trends are already beginning to define the new season. Waisted silhouettes have risen in favour over the past few seasons and are set to hit new heights this spring. With the ease of warm, languid days, there’s a shift towards boho aesthetics, with delicate blouses leading the way as an entry point to the style. Now, I’ve found a top that brings together these two key trends: the elegant Bubble-Mem Pintuck Top from Arket.

Arket’s attention to detail is what consistently allows the high street brand to make pieces that look so premium, and this top is a prime example of this. The first thing that drew me in was the pintuck bodice details that create the waisted shape. This alone is a nice detail, but the brand takes the piece to greater heights with wider straps and the playful bubble hem that fully accentuates the fitted waist, creating a bold hourglass shape.
Personally, I’m always a little apprehensive when I see a button-front top, but the placement ensures that you won’t see those peaks of skin between the closures. Now, this top is ready to join my off-duty looks as well as office wear rotations. Here I’ve taken my normal size 38 (UK 10) in the top, which fit true to size, something I always find with Arket’s pieces. The top comes in two colourways, a crisp white and deep navy, both of which are made from 100% cotton and feel incredibly high quality to the touch.

Since trying on this top, my mind hasn’t stopped putting together spring outfits that will immediately revitalise my capsule wardrobe classics. My wide-leg jeans are the perfect shape to balance out the bold peplum hem of this top, whilst a straight linen skirt will also bring an added elegance to proceedings. On warmer days, when I want to look put-together yet casual, I’m adding relaxed cut-off shorts and easy slip-on sandals into the mix. Even dressing for dinner just got easier as this top can seamlessly pair with satin trousers or tailored styles and a polished mule.
