FAQs

What occasions is this top suitable for?

This top is versatile and suitable for smart-casual office days, family lunches, gallery visits, and relaxed social gatherings. Its refined detailing allows it to be dressed up or down.

How does the 'boxy silhouette' fit?

The boxy silhouette offers a contemporary, relaxed fit that is not tight but maintains a sophisticated shape. It provides ease of movement while looking structured.

Can this top be worn in warm weather?

Yes, the viscose linen blend is highly breathable and comfortable, making it ideal for warm weather. The sleeveless design further enhances its suitability for warmer temperatures.

How do I best care for the viscose linen blend?

We recommend a gentle hand wash or a cold machine wash on a delicate cycle with mild detergent. Lay flat to dry and iron on a low heat setting. Avoid tumble drying.

Does the pintuck detailing require special care?

The pintuck detailing adds structure and visual interest. While it holds its shape well, careful ironing on a low heat setting is recommended to maintain crispness. Avoid excessive stretching or wringing.

What is the effect of the hemline?

The hemline features a subtle peplum-effect, which adds a feminine dimension and creates a slightly flared finish that complements the structured top.

How should I style this top for a more formal look?

For a more formal or office-appropriate look, pair the top with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt, and complete the ensemble with smart heels and minimalist jewelry.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled

Gently steam the garment or iron on a low heat setting while slightly damp. Natural fibers like linen can wrinkle easily; consider this a characteristic of the material.

Top feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and a cold water wash. Lay flat to dry; avoid harsh agitation. Re-ironing on a low setting can help restore softness.

Pintuck details lose their definition

Carefully iron the pintuck areas, ensuring they are pressed sharply. Use a pressing cloth if necessary to protect the fabric. Avoid over-agitation during washing.
