EILEEN | Sleeveless jumpsuit with a mandarin collar

Sleeveless in August without feeling like I was in a bathing suit. That collar is the whole trick.

Summer clothes tend to force a choice: cover your arms and be too warm, or go sleeveless and feel underdressed for anywhere that is not the backyard. Eileen refuses the choice. It is sleeveless, and it still looks like something you decided on.

The mandarin collar stands up rather than folding open, so the neckline stays high and finished even with the arms bare, and that small piece of structure is what keeps the whole thing from reading as casual. The body falls loose from the shoulder to the ankle, moving as you walk instead of holding on, and the fabric is light enough for the worst part of the afternoon.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Bare arms that still look dressed. The standing collar gives the neckline structure, which is what separates a sleeveless jumpsuit from a sundress.
• Cool where it counts. No sleeves and a loose body mean air moves through it, so you can wear it at two in the afternoon in July.
• It does not cling at the middle. The relaxed line falls from the shoulders, so it passes over the waist rather than settling into it.
• Black, white and yellow all read differently. Black for an evening out, white for a warm morning, yellow for the days you want some color on.

How it fits

Sizes S through 3XL, cut relaxed rather than fitted. The one place to pay attention is the shoulder: because there are no sleeves to give, the armhole and shoulder line set the fit. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one and the rest will simply hang a little looser.

I have not worn sleeveless in years. The collar made me feel covered enough to try.
