Eitan top

What: Eitan top, Etoile by Isabel Marant
Where: Misch (2960 Granville Street)
Price Tag: $289
Why: The kaffiyeh scarf, a traditional Arab headdress, has been brought back into pop culture by hipsters and fashionistas alike.

The first time this pattern made its way into fashion was around the necks of ’80s new wavers. A few seasons ago, designer Balenciaga based a runway collection around it, and more recently Chloe Sevigny and Kanye West have been seen in similar looks. Ethnic prints are a major trend this season, and what’s great about Isabel Marant’s version is that the toned-down palette is both understated and versatile. This loose cotton blouse is comfortable and easy to wear, perfect for summer. Wear it with high-waisted jeans and platforms to play up the hippie vibe, or with cropped leggings and gladiator sandals for a beachy look. There’s also a sweet dress version.
