Colour-Blocked Ribbed Long-Sleeve Top — Oversized Two-Tone Knit

A long-sleeve ribbed top cut with a colour-block panel across the body, so one half runs in a different tone to the other. The knit is a firm vertical rib with no stretch, which is what holds the shape and keeps the panel line straight instead of pulling out of place. The cut is deliberately oversized — it drops straight from the shoulder and stays wide through the body and hem, so it skims rather than clings. Worn long over leggings or tucked at the front of a waistband, it reads as a relaxed layering piece rather than a fitted knit.

The colour block does the styling for you. The two tones run across the body rather than down it, so the eye reads width instead of bulk, and the panel line stays horizontal where the rib keeps it straight. Wear it on its own with trousers, or under a jacket when the firm rib is the only texture you want.

What it is

• A colour-block knit, not a print. The two tones are knitted into the panel, so the join is a clean line rather than an edge that could lift or peel.
• Firm vertical rib. The knit is fine and dense with no stretch, so it keeps its shape through the body and the sleeve instead of relaxing with wear.
• Oversized through the body. The bust measures 123–140 cm depending on size — that is the garment measured all the way around, not your body measurement — so it hangs away from the body rather than fitting it.
• Long sleeve, clean finish. The sleeve runs 47–50 cm from the shoulder seam and finishes without a cuff rib, so the line stays unbroken to the wrist.
• Straight hem. The hem measures 101–118 cm around and sits level, which is what lets the top be worn out over trousers without riding up.
• Six colourways. Blue, Yellow, Burgundy, Gray, Rose Red and Apricot — each one a two-tone block.

Size guide

These are the measurements published with this product, in centimetres with inches alongside. It is made in four sizes: S, M, L and XL. Bust and hem are garment measurements taken all the way around, not body measurements. The fabric has no stretch. The figures come from measuring the product by hand and may vary by 1–3 cm.

A note on sizing. The maker states that this garment is cut to European sizing, which runs one size larger than the domestic standard, and that the colour of the actual product may differ slightly from the images because of shooting lights and screen calibration.

Which size to pick. Because the top is oversized and the knit does not stretch, the bust and hem figures are the ones that decide it — not the shoulder. Lay a top you already like flat, measure it across at the bust and double that figure, then match it to the Bust column. If you are between two sizes and want the oversized look, take the larger one; if you want it closer to the body, take the smaller one.

How to wear it

• Long and loose. Worn out over leggings or straight trousers, the length lands on the hip and the wide hem keeps the line straight.
• Half-tucked. Push the front hem inside the waistband and leave the back out — the colour-block panel reads best when part of it is broken up.
• Under a coat. The knit is firm rather than bulky, so it layers inside a jacket without adding much volume at the shoulder.
• With the sleeve pushed up. Because the sleeve finishes without a cuff rib, pushing it to the elbow stays put and does not leave a tight band.

Care

• Wash cool — 30 °C or below — on a gentle or hand-wash cycle.
• Turn it inside out first. Ribbed knits snag, and the panel line is the first place a pull shows.
• Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry.
• Dry flat or hang to dry; hanging a wet ribbed knit by the shoulders will stretch them.
• Iron on a low setting, or steam instead of pressing flat.

Questions

Is this one piece or two?
One top. The colour block is part of the garment, not a second layer or a separate piece.

Will it fit oversized on me?
It is oversized by design — the bust measures 123 cm on the smallest size. Compare that figure with a top you already own before ordering.

Does the knit stretch?
No. The rib is firm and has no stretch, which is why the measurements in the table are the reliable guide rather than a size you wear in a stretchy knit.

Can I wear it in summer?
It is a long-sleeve knit rather than a summer piece. It works best in spring and autumn, or layered in winter.

Are the two tones exactly as photographed?
They are close, but the maker notes that shooting lights and screen settings can shift a colour slightly — the garment itself is the reference.
