The Phila Top is a sleeveless summer knit worked from the top down. It features a clean eyelet pattern that adds texture without being too fussy. While it’s sleeveless, the design offers full coverage, making it a great option for both casual wear and office days. I wanted to create something that feels easy to wear but still looks polished – pair it with a silk camisole underneath if you want to dress it up.
