Best Johnny Was clothing for women

Start with the Lindey Long Sleeve T-Shirt. It's the piece that does the most work: Johnny Was's floral print on a soft long-sleeve V-neck, easy over jeans, under a jacket, or with a skirt, and the most wearable entry into the look.

Then, depending on what you're after:

• Linnea Erykah Blouse — the signature Johnny Was blouse; the one to pick for a dressed-up day or an occasion.
• Riley Slit Long Tee — embroidered black cotton, casual shape with the detailing doing the talking.
• Nya Long Sleeve Shirt — pure silk and crisp, the most polished and least "boho" of the group.
• Tate Shift Mini Dress — one-and-done for a party or a trip.
• Mulla Print capsule — soft rayon-silk, for those who like the prints head to toe.
• Janie Favorite tees and hanky-hem dress — the easy, everyday end of the brand; the short-sleeve tee is the budget-friendly way in.
• Benny Velvet Kimono — the statement piece collectors of the label go for.

Sizing runs true with room through the body; silks and velvet need dry cleaning.
