The Key to Playing It Cool This Summer
Sweet | May 2016
Is one modest, beautiful fabric.
Crisp and fresh and perfect in a button-down or shirtdress silhouette, cotton poplin is nothing less than the foundation to any modern wardrobe. But there’s far more to this versatile fabric than utility. This season, labels from Temperley London to Tome are reimagining the potential of the material. They’re adding embroidery and pleats, ruffles, and flounces: if there is some embellishment to be done, they’ve done it. The result is a whole new range of styles in cotton poplin, ones that are as feminine as they are fashion-forward.
Here, we present all the cotton poplin pieces you could possibly need to see you through every summer mood. And when a heat wave does strike, you’ll be ready.
