A breezy midseason tee for when the temperature is dropping but it’s not sweater weather just yet! An alpaca, linen and silk blend yarn lends a touch of warmth plus breathability for those unpredictable early fall days. Simple stockinette is embellished with vikkel (lateral) braid details at the shoulder shaping lines and hem.
CONSTRUCTION & FIT: Worked seamlessly from the top down with drop shoulders and a roomy A-line shape, this midseason tee is intended to be worn with 4-8” of positive ease.
