To wear the Mallory Top, simply put it on over your head. It's great for casual outings or semi - formal events. You can tuck it into your pants or leave it loose. When it comes to pairing, as mentioned, the Mallory Shorts are a perfect match, but it also goes well with jeans or a skirt. For maintenance, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle to keep the fabric in good condition. Avoid using harsh detergents as they might damage the natural linen - cotton blend. Hang it to dry to prevent shrinking. Iron it on a low setting if needed.
