It's not hard to see why the name "napkin top" applies here, right? The crinkled texture reminds me of a tissue or cloth napkin.

You know it's a napkin top when there's nothing but razor-thin straps in the back.

EmRata just wore the black version of this top in NYC, so it's officially celeb-approved, too.

The only thing better than this skirt set is the fact that it also comes in ivory and black.

The thinner the straps, the better the top. I don't make the rules.

Fun fact: Jenny Walton fashioned her top out of an actual doily and some pieces of string and I'm inspired to DIY my own.
