Zenana Exposed Seam Boxy Top

Exposed seams take a piece of construction that is normally hidden on the inside and put it on the outside, which is a small idea that changes the whole character of a top. It gives this one structure you can actually see, and an edge that a plain jersey top does not have. The boxy cut keeps it relaxed rather than fitted, so it skims the body instead of following it.

It is made from 100% COTTON and it is slightly stretchy, which is the combination that makes a top like this wearable all day: the cotton breathes and the give means it moves with you. It has a pocket. Sizing comes in two combined runs rather than single sizes, so the measurements are given as ranges: S/M covers a bust of 34 to 38 inches and a waist of 26 to 31 inches, while L/XL covers a bust of 39 to 43 inches and a waist of 32 to 36 inches.

The point of a boxy top is what it does with a fitted bottom half. High waisted jeans are the classic pairing, since the relaxed top and the defined waistband balance each other. A slim skirt does the same job in a different register. Trainers keep it casual and a pair of boots sharpens it. Tuck the front hem in loosely if you want to bring the waist back into the outfit and let the exposed seams stay visible.
