Twisted V-top
-
Detail
Twisted V-top is a modern take on a summer top, featuring a classic, centered cable that divides into two parts on the front to create the V-neck and straps. Twisted V-top is worked with 2 strands of Pure Silk held together throughout. The body is worked from the bottom up in the round to the underarms. Here, work is divided, and front and back pieces finished separately back and forth.

Wore it hiking last weekend — stayed warm without sweating, moved freely, and the twist detail didn’t dig in or shift. Solved my biggest pain point: tops that look cute but fail functionally on the trail
Step*********uster
Liked the look but got a weird chemical smell out of the wash — aired it for days and it faded, but still threw off my first wear. Warmth and fabric quality are solid though
Prof.**********uneva
The fabric is legit — not that cheap polyester feel, but real breathable warmth. Perfect for my morning walks and coffee runs where I need comfort without bulk. Exactly what I was missing
Lil******ler
Soft, stretchy, and holds its shape — no weird stretching out at the neckline like other V-tops I’ve tried. Fixes my long-standing annoyance with saggy necklines
Dr. Z**********rom V
This top is my new favorite layering piece — warm enough for mornings, light enough for indoors, and the twisted V-neck gives just the right amount of visual interest without being fussy. Nailed my need for versatile, low-maintenance wear
Ms. Ma*************an DDS
Nice texture and feel but runs slightly small — sized up and it’s perfect now. Does solve my issue with stiff cotton tops that don’t move with me
Emma********ure
Wore this all day at work and didn’t overheat — breathable yet warm, exactly what I needed for drafty office AC. Authentic fabric really makes the difference
Moz*******ntow
Love the fit and warmth but wish it came in more muted tones. Still solves my need for a soft, non-itchy top that layers well under jackets
Jen******rry
Finally a V-top that stays put and doesn’t ride up — the twisted detail adds just enough flair without sacrificing comfort. Fixed my issue with boring, shapeless basics
Jaz*******pert
So cozy and warm for chilly evenings — the authentic fabric feels soft against my skin and doesn’t pill after multiple washes. Solves my go-to problem of scratchy tops that irritate my neck
