Every so often, a piece of clothing will reach that peak cult status and be instantly recognisable whenever it's worn. The Lioness Bloom Long Sleeve Top is one such buy.
In just the last week, sales have increased by a huge 410 per cent week-on-week across all colourways at THE ICONIC.
Spotted on global content creators including Danielle Bernstein (WeWoreWhat), Devin Brugman, and Paige Lorenze among others, the T-shirt has well and truly reached cult status.
It may look like every other striped top but it's in the little details that really make this top stand out.
'The Lioness Bloom Long Sleeve Top stands out as the perfect balance between comfort and a trend-led style,' Nicole Adolphe, Head of Style at THE ICONIC, tells news.com.au checkout.
'It's a versatile wardrobe staple that feels elevated yet effortless,' she says.
Plus, she points out that at just $69, it's incredibly accessible. Considering it's something shoppers will most likely wear on-repeat, the cost per wear is sure to be incredibly low.
'The top's popularity is no doubt boosted by Lioness' cult following and its signature 'cool girl' aesthetic, which continues to resonate strongly with THE ICONIC's customers,' Nicole points out.
HOW CAN YOU STYLE THE LIONESS BLOOM LONG SLEEVE TOP?
The Bloom Long Sleeve Top is seriously the ultimate winter must-have and according to Nicole, it can be worn in so many ways.
'We love it paired back with oversized denim, a classic leather belt, chunky loafers, and a slouchy shoulder bag,' she says.
'For those lucky enough to be heading to Europe this summer, it's the perfect lightweight layer to throw over a bikini with micro shorts and a pair of flip flops.'
WHICH COLOUR SHOULD A SHOPPER BUY?
Nicole says her top pick would be the beige stripe.
'This buttery tone is the newest must-have in a neutral wardrobe, and it pairs beautifully with a wide range of colours.
'The contrast between the black and beige gives it a chic, effortless feel that's eye-catching without being overpowering, making it a smart and stylish choice for the season.'

Gerald Ryan and Sterling Alexiou to saddle up Cheeky Smirk at Hawkesbury on Tuesday

The colours worn by a horse famous for 'almost' beating Winx will be on show at Hawkesbury on Tuesday when Cheeky Smirk aims for back-to-back wins to open his career. A Gerald Ryan and Sterling Alexiou -trained son of All Too Hard, Cheeky Smirk was bred by Laing Racing whose white and tartan silks were previously worn by one of Ryan's most notable stalwarts. 'They've been in a few horses but Cheeky Smirk was the first winner to race in their colours since Red Excitement,'' Ryan explained. A $32,500 yearling who won $1.2 million, Red Excitement is best remembered for almost running the great Winx off her feet in the 2017 Chelmsford Stakes. 'He got a long way in front that day and people said he went too hard but when you looked at the sectionals, he never did, the others in the field backed off him,'' Ryan recalled. That was brilliant! Winx comes with a barnstorming finish to record her 19th successive win in the G2 Chelmsford Stakes! #GoWinx — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) September 2, 2017 • As for Cheeky Smirk, he came from near last at the turn, weaving his way through the pack, to win by the best part of two-lengths when he made his debut in a Hawkesbury 1100m Maiden on July 20. 'We thought he would go there and run well,'' Ryan said. 'We expected him to run top three and he got a bit further back than I thought he would be but he finished off terrific.' Ryan and co-trainer Sterling Alexiou saddle-up the well-bred Cosmic Eagle in the Blakes Marine Maiden Handicap (1100m) at what will be the daughter of Deep Field's third start. 'She was good first-up in a 900m race, finished off well, and probably was on the worst part of the track at Muswellbrook but ran well,'' Ryan said. 'She took a little while to get over it, that's why she hasn't raced for a while, but she seems bright and well and good in herself.' Meanwhile, there will be no Hillier for the Ryan/Alexiou camp's Harry's Evidence to contend with this time when the last start Newcastle runner-up contests the opener on the seven-event card. 'Hillier went to Melbourne and franked the form when it ran second down there,' Ryan said. 'I think Hillier is not a bad horse. He ran in all the good races and was well-found. 'Harry's Evidence raced a bit erratically so we have taken the winkers off him and put a crossover noseband on him and it seems to be helping him heaps.'

Popular Play School star and jazz icon Judy Bailey dies at 89

Beloved Play School star and jazz and blues pioneer Judy Bailey has died in Sydney. Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Bailed underwent formal piano training and earned a performance diploma from Trinity College London at the age of 16, before moving to Sydney in 1960. She died on August 8 at the age of 89. Performing at the Sydney iconic jazz club El Rocco, Bailey became immersed in the jazz scene. Her expansive career saw her working with greats including Graeme Lyall and John Sangster, and making television appearances on major networks including Channel 7's Tommy Tycho's Orchestra, Channel 9's John Bamford's Orchestra and Channel 10's Jack Grimsley's Orchestra. She joined the founding faculty of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music jazz studies program in 1973. That same year, she became the pianist for the ABC children's program, Kindergarten, before taking on a cherished role on Play School. Her expansive career led her to directing the Sydney Youth Jazz Ensemble and serving as the musical director of the Sydney Opera House's Bennelong jazz series. She also toured Southeast Asia with the musical quartet Musica Viva before earning an Order of Australia Medal in 2004, the APRA Jazz Composition Award, the Distinguished Services to Australian Music award and an Entertainment Industry MO award. In 2014, she was inducted into the Australian Jazz Bell Hall of Fame. Tributes have flowed for the late musical pioneer, including from composer and producer Ross James Irwin, who described Bailey as a 'wonderfully generous educator' and 'supporter of young musicians'. Singer Virna Sanzone said Bailey's 'generosity, energy and positivity seemed to be boundless'. 'Judy taught us all so much.' she wrote in an online tribute. 'For one thing, I can safely say I owe a lot of my inner musical world to Judy – she taught people to listen, to really hear, deeply. 'What a precious gift for any musician.'
