Look Put-Together Without Fussing Over It
You want to look pulled-together without spending twenty minutes deciding what works. This soft knit top does it for you.
The front twist draws the eye up and the ribbed waist holds its shape.
Wear it with jeans on Saturday. Wear it with a skirt for dinner. Same top, two very different looks — and neither one feels like you tried too hard.
Hits 22.8 to 24.4 inches long, so it stays put at the waist

Frequently asked questions
How low does the V-neck actually sit?
It's a deep V with a twist at the center, so it opens a few inches below the collarbone. Many women wear a camisole or a lace bralette underneath for extra coverage.
Will the ribbed waist ride up when I sit down?
The ribbing grips lightly at the waist, which keeps the hem in place. The stretch lets it move with you instead of rolling.
Does the twist stay in place, or does it flatten out?
The twist is built into the construction, not tied or pinned. It keeps its shape through wear and washing.
Is it warm enough on its own?
It's a light-to-mid weight knit, best for indoors or mild fall days. On colder days it layers easily under a coat or blazer without adding bulk.

Every product page has a fit finder next to the size selector — three questions, one recommendation, a few seconds. These charts are for anyone who would rather read the numbers.
How to measure
- Bust / chest. Around the fullest part, tape level, arms relaxed at your sides.
- Waist. Around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel.
- Hips. Around the fullest part, roughly 8 in below the waist.
- Inseam. From the crotch seam to the floor, in the shoes you'll wear the trousers with.
Measure over the underwear you'd normally wear, not over clothing. Keep the tape snug but not tight.

How our pieces are cut
- Dresses are cut true to size. If you are between sizes, take the smaller one — most of our dresses have ease through the waist.
- Coats and jackets are cut with room for a knit underneath. Take your usual size; size up only if you layer heavily.
- Knitwear is relaxed by design. Between sizes, take the smaller one unless you want an oversized look.
- Trousers and jeans run true to size. Between sizes, take the larger one.
- Shoes run true to size. If you have a wide foot, take half a size up.
