The Darling Diamond Top in Navy by Emmy Design
The Darling Diamond Top by Emmy Design is an elegant short-sleeved knit top inspired by an original 1940s pattern. Its deep classic Navy blue shade is complemented by a white diamond motif, creating an authentic look reminiscent of the 1930s and 1940s.
The top has a sleek, feminine silhouette with subtly padded shoulders that add definition without appearing puffy. Its mock neck fastens with buttons at the back, while the vertical purl-knit pattern visually elongates and flatters the figure. Finishing at the upper hip, it is the perfect length for tucking into a skirt or trousers as well as wearing loose.

Why we love The Darling Diamond Top in Navy
The details
Vertical knitted lines and a sleek shape flatter the figure, while the soft merino wool makes it wonderfully comfortable to wear.
Styling options
Style it with the matching skirt for a complete vintage look or pair it with high-waisted trousers for work, dinner and special occasions.
Styling tip
Shirts and blouses work especially well with high-waisted bottoms because they can be styled into the waist and create a flattering silhouette.
Era inspiration
Inspired by the simple and functional silhouettes of the 1940s, with clean lines and a feminine everyday feel.
Find the right vintage-inspired top or shirt
Our vintage-inspired tops, blouses and shirts feature feminine fits that accentuate the waist and pair perfectly with high-waisted trousers and skirts. The styles are primarily inspired by 1940s, 1950s and 1960s fashion, when puff sleeves, elegant collars, tie-neck details, flattering necklines and fitted silhouettes were among the era’s characteristic features.
We always recommend checking the bust and waist measurements for each individual style rather than simply choosing your usual size. Some vintage-inspired shirts are made from non-stretch fabrics and have a looser fit, while other tops contain stretch and fit closer to the body. Choose the vintage-inspired top or retro shirt that suits the look you want – from a relaxed everyday outfit to classic 1940s style, feminine 1950s fashion or a colourful 1960s look.
