DESIGN OVERVIEW: This effortlessly chic short-sleeve top is crafted in breathable cotton yarn, offering comfort with a touch of texture. The front features a beautifully structured basket stitch, while the back and sleeves contrast in smooth stockinette for a clean silhouette. Finished with simple ribbing at the neckline, cuffs, and hem, the top boasts a classic round neck and relaxed fit with 7 - 15 cm of positive ease. Its timeless length and subtle detailing make it a versatile staple for everyday wear.
