Dôen Tops and Blouses: From the Henri Top to Heirloom Lace

Dôen’s blouses are almost as well known as its dresses. They are light, often in organic cotton voile, and finished with pintucks, lace and small buttons. The most searched is the Henri Top. Here is how the Dôen tops line up, all from the Dôen collection at Coveti. For more shapes, browse our designer tops, and check the Dôen sizing guide before you order.

The Henri Top

Dôen calls the Henri Top a Favorite Character, one of the styles it brings back every season. It is an Edwardian-inspired blouse in soft, lightweight organic cotton voile, with a plunging V-neckline, clusters of pintucks at the yoke and back, short puffed sleeves and a row of hidden buttons down the front.

It comes in more colours than almost any other Dôen piece. At Coveti you will find the Henri Top in Salt, the Henri Top in Black, the Henri Top in Alice Blue, the Henri Top in Blush and the striped Henri Top in Saint-Aurélie Stripe. There are eyelet versions, the Henri Top in Salt Eyelet and the Henri Top in Black Eyelet, and a lace one, the Henri Lace Top in Black.

Voile blouses

Beyond the Henri, Dôen cuts many blouses in voile. The Frederica Top in Black has scalloped lace on short puffed sleeves and floral embroidery on the front. The Millie Top in Narcissus Bloom has a high ruffled neck and a slightly cropped cut. The June Top in Salt and its gingham versions are simpler, good for every day.

Heirloom and lace tops

The Heirloom tops borrow from Edwardian underpinnings. The Hertise Top in Salt is based on a corset cover, in crisp ramie with a fitted peplum, a sweetheart neckline and silk ribbon straps tied at the shoulder. The Liletta Top in Salt and the Theresa Top in Pearl are other lace-rich choices. For the history behind the look, see our Edwardian blouse guide.

Eyelet tops

Eyelet gives a top texture without a print. The Toussine Top in Salt, the Nera Top in Salt and the Traveler Top in Salt are all worth a look. They pair with the matching skirts and with denim alike.

Silk and evening tops

For evening, Dôen makes tops in silk and jacquard. The Maurise Top in Fresco Tappezzeria Jacquard and the Opera Top in Black dress up a pair of wide trousers and a long skirt.

How to wear a Dôen blouse

• With jeans: leave a voile blouse loose over straight jeans. Dôen itself suggests tucking the Frederica into high-waisted jeans.
• With a skirt: tuck it into a long cotton skirt for a soft, all-day look.
• Under knitwear: let a ruffled collar sit over a cardigan. Our knitwear guide has pairings.
• Over a slip: sheer voile can need a camisole underneath. See our guide to Dôen slips.
