Details

Calling it “a top” feels a tad irreverent.  

It's such an undersimplification of a seductively flattering-yet-simple knit sweater.  

Ballerina neckline.  A dramatic dolman (“batwing”) sleeve that narrows to a slim elongated cuff hugging your forearm.  And the waistline - what IS that saucery at work? A decadently-easy fit through the midriff, then sly narrowing at the waist-to-hem to hug the hip. One is almost tempted to refer to it as a drop waist adjacent. 

And while knitwear isn't technically cut “on the bias”, it's a close cousin, with all the built-in curves happening.  This sweater holds nothing back. 

Need we say more? Maybe about how to style and wear it, yes. [Read on, here]  But otherwise no, no notes.

Styling & Pairing Note:

This is the top that changes whatever you pair it with.  

We love it worn simply with a tailored pair of slacks. It adds a dash of *girl-power*  to the look and softens an otherwise perfectly-respectable-but-a-tad serious outfit. Tie a jaunty silk scarf or twilly at the throat, off you go. All business, but still you.

And on the weekend, how about over one of those delightful summer dresses that you long to wear straight through first-frost? Heck yes, we got you.  Add tights & boots under -  and your Boathouse Top over - and off you go.  May we be so bold to (again) suggest our Agnes Stole to complete the look?

Or as a part of that previously-mentioned Lounge Short moment (the one where we added the strappy heels, remember?)  Swap out the silk blouse for the Boathouse Top and you have OPTIONS.  Or keep the blouse and tie it around your shoulders or waist, for a distinct runway moment.

Or with one of our striped Mooring Scarves, add ANY bottom and you will look like you just are an expert in your field.

And we’d be remiss to neglect mentioning how bloody perfectly it pairs with our Cedar Skirt, it's a proper ensemble that will read like the most decadent cashmere dress.  Finish with boots, heels, or your sassiest pointy-toe flats, and deploy the Cedar skirt’s sash as a belt over the Boathouse Top.  

This is the outfit you will reach for when the snow is swirling and you still want to dress-up. (ie. the fanciest winter wedding or holiday party, or Valentines Day night-out with your sweetheart).   

Timeless, classy, “dressed-to-the-nine’s” as they used to say. 

If you were wondering what to wear to bridge your thoroughly-modern & infinitely-practical closet, with that inherited vintage mink coat, fox stole, or with that indescribably gorgeous vintage purse that was lovingly passed down to you, here you are. (you’re welcome :-)
