Knit Pointelle Contrast Collared Top

The pointelle knit body features a vertical wave pattern that creates visual movement across the torso, while the contrast solid collar and cuffs frame the design with a clean, graphic finish. Viscose fabric gives this top a soft drape and cool handfeel - it skims the body without clinging, sitting close to the silhouette in a slim fit that reads polished rather than restrictive. A button placket runs down the centre front, offering the option to wear it fully fastened or open at the collar for a more relaxed neckline. Long sleeves with contrast ribbed cuffs add a considered tailoring detail that anchors the top when tucked in - the contrast trim creates a natural visual break at the wrist. The slim cut and open-knit construction make this a top that works across seasons - light enough to wear alone, structured enough to layer beneath a sharp blazer. The viscose sits lightly against the skin - cool and smooth to the touch - with just enough drape to move naturally without losing its shape throughout the day. Tucked into high-waisted tailored trousers with a slim belt, as the model demonstrates here, the top takes on a polished, put-together quality that suits a client lunch or a day in the office with equal ease. The contrast collar gives it a sportswear reference that keeps the look contemporary rather than strictly formal. For an evening out, swap the wide-leg trousers for a tailored midi skirt and carry the tone through with understated gold jewellery - though take care, as the delicate open-knit construction can snag. The vertical pattern draws the eye lengthways, making it a particularly strong choice when the goal is a long, clean line from shoulder to hem. A leather shoulder bag, as seen here, completes the look without competing with the texture of the knit.
