Apologies for the absence yesterday: I just got out to Sag Harbor for the first time all summer Monday night, and there were all sorts of country house-type issues to attend to, not even to mention World Cup soccer to watch, and time got away from me. But today I’m back, with a trove of easy peasant tops that are so perfect for this time of year. Here’s one that in a bright color might be too much, but all in black is nicely subtle.

Pretty eyelet and Swiss dot details here.

I like this short-sleeved version because it looks so authentically like an Indian block print.

A nice, light gauze option for throwing on over your swimsuit, perhaps.

 

I like the lace details (and decent price) here so much that this one currently idles in my shopping cart.

A cool mustard yellow iteration.

 

The subtle stripes and clean-lined cut make this one almost menswearish.

I think the smocking here is pretty cute.

A striped top in the kind of muted colors I typically don’t go for, but which I very much like here.

Another sweet eyelet top.

This striped number is delightfully beachy.

I like the kimono sleeves here.

And the pop of yellow here is fun.

The rainbow smocking here is just a delight.

A simple, clean-lined black option.

I like the hem details on this gauze top.
