If, like us, you grew up through the 90s and early 2000s, you probably thought that you’d never live to see the milkmaid top make a comeback.
Well, you thought wrong.
Tops and dresses in this style are back with such a vengeance that you could easily mistake the inside of any clothes shop right now for a teenage disco circa 2004.
But no – it’s 2019 and structured necklines and puffy sleeves are massive once again.
There’s an old maxim that says if you’re old enough to remember a trend the first time around, you shouldn’t wear it when it comes back years later.
It’s an adage that we don’t really subscribe to – if you were to follow this, you’d probably never buy jewelled hair clips, boiler suits, chunky runners or any of the other fun trends that are in right now – so why not hop on the milkmaid bandwagon?
This shape, with its emphasis on your décolletage, is surprisingly flattering and adds an extra girly flair to a look.
We especially love it on a ditsy sundress, like this one from Zara.
It’s modest but not prudish, feminine without being cloying and only €19.99.
Wear with anything all summer long and make sure to get a photo of your décolletage looking mighty in it.
