Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL ● Level: 3 of 5 ● A stunning classic top with a texture that soothes like a mantra. The Serene V Top is a divinely beautiful and practical piece that charms you from the very first stitches. Its texture features a stunning cable pattern that’s easier than it looks. Every detail has been carefully considered: the back neckline uses a refined European shoulder construction, allowing the shoulder line to gently slope backwards. The V-neckline is perfectly sized — beautifully open for warm summer days, yet designed so your bra stays discreetly hidden. Both the neckline and armholes are finished with a neat I-cord edge. The Serene V Top pairs effortlessly with anything from jeans to a satin skirt.
