We're loving the lack of sleeves in Givenchy's SS12 collection! Take a look through the gallery for our top picks to replicate this look.

This cream chiffon shirt is the basic foundation to achieve the same sleeveless look as Givenchy's SS12 collection.

Layer sleeveless with sleeveless: the neutral jacket is a staple piece of the Givenchy SS12 offerings.

Basic tight-fitting leggings may draw all the focus to the layers up top, but also show off your legs and ankles.

Add another layer with a wide, buckled belt around the waist.

It seems we’re not the only ones who love neutral colors this season: Givenchy’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection features layer upon layer of neutral tones with the added twist of sleeveless tops. This idea may not exactly be a brand new concept — we’ve seen a lot of the ripped-at-the-shoulder look recurring over the years — but we’re loving this interpretation envisioned in a clean, corporate look.

Like most, we don’t exactly have the funds to turn the pieces of this Givenchy ensemble into permanent residents of our wardrobes, but luckily we’re able to create a similar look at a cheaper price. Take a look through the gallery for our top picks to complete this look that was so brilliantly mastered on the runway.
