Side-Tie Knot Knit Top in Chocolate Brown

A knot that does the shaping for you. This chocolate brown knit top gathers at one side into a self-tie, so the waist is defined without a belt, a seam, or any real effort on your part.

The tie is the whole design. Knotted at the side, it cinches the middle and adds shape where the fabric would otherwise fall straight. Above it sits a round neckline finished clean and minimal, with cap sleeves that leave the body relaxed and easy rather than fitted. The knit is lightweight with a soft drape, non-sheer, and left unlined.

It reads polished enough to make a pair of jeans look intentional, which is most of what a top has to do on a weekday. Leave the tie side out over jeans, or tuck it into a high waist and let the knot sit at the hip. Warm brown is the easy one to pair, so it carries from the desk to dinner without a change.
