It's that time of the year: the leaves are turning orange with the fall season, the colder weather holidays are approaching, the tunes of Gilmore Girls' nostalgic autumn sounds play throughout the day like a soundtrack, and school is back in full swing.

Sometimes, a girl needs a top that can double down for both wild nights and daytime picnics, and the Parle Anglais Top is exactly that.
