Description
A sleeveless top with a bow on each shoulder
This sleeveless top from Rue Paris is a simple shape with one playful idea. The body is straight, the neckline is a V at the front and a deeper V at the back, and each strap ends in a bow that sits on the shoulder.
It is 100% polyester and comes in sizes S, M and L. The colour on sale is blue, a strong cobalt in the photos.

The piece: model 168229 by Rue Paris
A correction first. Our old title called this a linen top. The maker's composition table says 100% polyester, and that is what we now state.
Rue Paris made the top in several colours. The blue, model 168229, is the only one still produced.
The maker describes a straight cut, a heart neckline and straps with decorative ties. In the photos the neckline reads as a soft V.
Who it's for
For you if you want a summer top that is easy on the body and still looks like you made an effort. A straight cut skims the waist and stomach, and the bows draw the eye up to the shoulders.
Closer look: maker's data and photos
- Straight cut (maker's data)
- Heart neckline (maker's data); a V at the front and a deeper V at the back (photos)
- Straps with decorative ties (maker's data); a bow on each shoulder (photos)
- Hem at the hip on the model (photos)
- Fine textured surface (photos)
- 100% polyester (maker's data)
The maker calls the ties decorative, so do not count on them to adjust the strap length.
Fabric and feel: textured polyester
The composition is 100% polyester. In the photos the fabric has a fine, regular texture and a matte look, and it holds the straight line of the top without clinging.
The maker gives no fabric weight and does not mention stretch or a lining. Polyester dries quickly and keeps its colour, which suits a blue this bright.
Fit and silhouette: straight to the hip
The maker gives the chest per size: 82 cm in S, 86 cm in M and 91 cm in L. There is no length in the data. On the model the top ends at the hip and hangs free of the waist.
Because the cut is straight, the chest is the measurement that decides. If you are between sizes, the larger one keeps the line smooth over the bust.

Styling: let the colour lead
The photos show the blue top with black skinny jeans and blue block-heel mules. Black makes the cobalt look even stronger.
For a softer version, wear it with white wide-leg trousers and tan sandals. Tucked into a high-waisted skirt it turns dressy. Hair up shows the bows, and I would skip a necklace so the V stays clean.
Occasions
The maker says it suits many occasions. In practice that means summer at the office under a blazer, a lunch, a birthday in the garden, an evening on a terrace.
Care: follow the label
The maker's data has no care instructions, so follow the label sewn into the top. If the bows are real knots, leave them tied in the wash and reshape them while damp.
The wow detail: the bows
Two bows, one on each shoulder, with ends that stick out like small wings. From the front they frame your face. From the back they sit above a deep V. It is a detail you see from every side, and it turns a plain tank shape into something with a point of view.
