Light, airy, and effortlessly stylish — the Open Skies Top is your go-to knit for sunny days when comfort and ease matter most. The simple lace pattern keeps your hands busy without overcomplicating things, perfect for relaxed sessions on the couch or between bigger projects.

With its boxy silhouette, t-shirt sleeves, and polished i-cord edges, this slightly cropped tee flatters every body and layers beautifully. Made in Coboo, a soft cotton-bamboo blend, it drapes lightly and feels just right against your skin.
