Meridian Stripe Top

Set sail for a season of impeccable style with the Meridian Stripe Top, a refreshing take on the classic nautical button-down. Designed to capture the crisp, clean aesthetic of a coastal summer, this top is the perfect blend of structured tailoring and feminine charm. Featuring a timeless cobalt blue and optic white vertical stripe, it evokes images of sparkling harbor waters and sunny deck-side brunches. The "Meridian" stands out from standard striped shirts with its playful, peplum-inspired ruffle hemline, adding a touch of whimsical movement to your everyday ensemble.

Crafted from a lightweight, breathable woven fabric, this top is engineered for maximum comfort during the warm-weather months of 2026. The relaxed fit through the bodice is balanced by slightly tapered short sleeves, creating a modern, boxy silhouette that feels both current and comfortable. The functional button-down front allows for versatile styling—wear it buttoned to the top for a polished, preppy look, or leave a few buttons open for a more casual, laid-back vibe. Whether you're heading to the office or a seaside vacation, the Meridian Stripe Top is a versatile powerhouse that brings a touch of effortless boutique elegance to any occasion.

Style Inspo

For a fresh and classic summer ensemble, pair the Meridian Stripe Top with high-waisted white denim shorts featuring a frayed hem (as pictured). The monochrome bottom makes the blue stripes pop, creating a crisp aesthetic. Add a chunky gold chain necklace and some beaded bracelets to finish the look.

To elevate the top for a professional setting, style it with navy tailored trousers and tan leather loafers. The ruffle hem looks beautiful when left untucked, providing a modern alternative to the traditional tucked-in shirt. For a nautical weekend getaway, wear it open over a white swim suit with a straw sun hat and oversized sunglasses—the perfect way to transition from the boat to a boardwalk lunch with total ease.
