This Lady Lichfield cotton top feels like a little piece of New Zealand wardrobe history, with that mid-century cut that sits just perfectly neatly. The print is all warm caramel, coffee, and cream brushstrokes in a check-style layout, graphic but still easy to wear.

It has a button-through front and a wide fold-over collar that frames the neckline beautifully. The short sleeves and cropped length keep it light and practical, while the shaped hem band gives it a clean, tailored finish without needing to tuck.

Style it with high-waist wide-leg jeans in deep indigo and a mustard flat, or pair it with a cobalt pencil skirt for a colour-blocked moment. For pattern lovers, try a fine navy stripe trouser, or a black and white polka dot skirt.

This shape is great if you like definition at the waist with a top that sits neatly rather than clinging through the tummy. It also works well if you are a bit fuller through the bust and prefer an open neckline that feels comfortable and balanced.
