How to Style the Philomene Top in White Cotton by Body Type
- Rectangle: Define your waist with a belt, a wrap silhouette, and bias cuts to introduce shape. The Philomene Top in White Cotton in White works well layered over a fitted base for added structure.
- Hourglass: Fitted bodices, wrap closures, and waist-defining details flatter natural curves, let the 100% cotton skim rather than cling.
- Tall: Maxi lengths, column silhouettes, and tiered hems elongate beautifully. Vertical seaming here enhances height without overpowering proportion.
- Petite: Look for high-waisted cuts, midi lengths, and refined shoulder lines. The structured proportions of the Philomene Top in White Cotton help balance shorter frames.
