Answers to Your Style and Care Questions

The Wilfred Open Back Top is designed with a relaxed, flowing fit that skims the body rather than clinging. We recommend your usual size for a classic, effortless drape. For a more fitted silhouette, you might consider sizing down one size, though the intended look is one of relaxed sophistication.
We recommend a gentle cold water wash in a mesh laundry bag to protect the fabric’s integrity. Lay it flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat to preserve the crisp white color and prevent shrinkage. A low-heat steam can be used to refresh the drape if needed.
For a polished, everyday look, pair it with high-waisted, tailored trousers and pointed-toe flats. To dress it up for an evening event, tuck it into a satin midi skirt and add heeled sandals and statement earrings. Its versatility makes it a foundation for many styles.
The fabric is a lightweight, woven material chosen for its soft hand-feel and beautiful drape, which is key to the top’s elegant movement. It is typically a blend like viscose or lyocell, offering breathability and a gentle touch against the skin for all-day comfort.
Yes, the open back is a key design feature, offering a tasteful reveal that adds artistic interest. The back dips to a flattering mid-back point, creating a silhouette that is alluring yet refined, consistent with Wilfred’s romantic and sophisticated aesthetic.
