Poetcore Tops.

Poetcore tops blend soft silhouettes with literary attitude — shirts, blouses, and tees that look like they belong in a library or under stage lights.

What makes a Poetcore top.

Flowing fabrics, dropped shoulders, and muted color palettes. Oversized shirts with wide collars, transparent layering pieces, and asymmetrically cut tees are standard. Anyone who knows the full Poetcore collection recognizes the line: romantic, never costumed. Poetcore collection recognizes the line: romantic, never costumed.

A Poetcore top works through contrast. Pair a draped shirt with straight Poetcore pants and flat boots — done. Layering over a plain longsleeve makes the look work for everyday and evening. More context on the style in the Poetcore Fashion Guide.
