………………………You asked for it……and here it is……….A306339 is the Rayon/Span Jersey swing top with the asymmetric hem…..The color is TURQUOISE. It has a SCOOP NECK, and a REAL ELBOW LENGTH SLEEVE!…Let’s emphasize the sleeve length! So many of you have asked for this length…….I happen to think an elbow sleeve, done correctly, is very sophisticated….The fit and shape is easy and comfortable. It fits through the upper torso and the gradually swings out. Due to the drape of the jersey it never swings out too much , and follows the lines of the body. It will never be tight over the tummy or hips……….I have sometimes received comments by some that they thought the scoop neckline was too low and or too wide. If you think the neckline looks too LOW for you and too WIDE for you…..it probably is. Even though we are always careful to make sure every top is bra friendly and nothing shows on our fit model….it really depends on how you are built. If you have very narrow shoulders it’s probably going to be too wide for you. I bring this up because I just want to avoid any disappointments. With the top I have my “LINEN” Ponte light crop pant, but turquoise is a very versatile color and any color bottom will work…..To accessorize either the Pompeii necklace or the Carnival necklace will both look perfectly….To add a little more drama I have also added the Gold Etruscan necklace. If you weren’t fortunate to get either piece there will also be new pieces coming………There is a cocktail this Turquoise color that usually come with a tiny umbrella in them, but the name escapes me! I’m sure one of my ladies knows exactly what I’m talking about. Sitting at pool side in this out fit with that drink or two……ahhhhh one can dream…..and it’s avail to buy right now!!………enjoy……………………much Love…………………………….Louis
Louis, my turquoise swing top arrived today. Love!
Hi Louis: Where you thinking of the curaçao liquor? It’s a lovely blue………the tops look great and a couple are on their way. Thanks!
Yes Dodie…that’s the one.
I wonder if it would look ok if I tucked this in to the turquoise tie dye boho skirt? If that doesn’t work, I may brush up my rusty sewing skills and maybe shorten the top with a straight hem. I absolutely love the scoop neck on this!
Louis – Am so glad you described the sleeve as a real elbow length sleeve. The Q describes it as a short sleeve. I prefer either sleeveless or elbow length & 3/4 length. Am getting the Black – it’s true – you can never have enough!
Seka.
On the model it looks like a true elbow sleeve.
Seeing your photos, I’m so glad they’re already on their way to me. I ordered all the colors except the white. May have to go back and get that one also. Love these easy throw-on tops for mostly year-round wear here in Florida.
Louis, would it be possible to add to the “want” and “need” list a cardigan of the same fabric to go over this like the swing WK no-button one you had at one time (A237402)? Only, maybe, with 3/4 sleeves? I keep one of those in my desk at all times to take care of air-conditioning issues and one in the car for when I run into a store or restaurant. Florida tends to over-cool buildings. I’d love something like that cardigan in this rayon jersey.
Deborah,
I’m in FL too and think this top is perfect for year-round wear. Easy to throw on with a pair of jeans and a necklace and look put together. I see this being almost a uniform for me. I’ve been buying so many of Louis’s tops that I’m trying to be good, but I almost think I need this in 3 or 4 colors.
I love your idea of a matching cardigan. Need something easy on/easy off when going from outside to AC and vice versa.
Thanks for the pics Louis! The pecan is especially luscious.
Count me in for a rayon span swing cardigan, Louis. You did a poly span one in a tribal print several years ago, and I wear those with everything!
