Green Ribbed Top

Why Does This Ribbed Top Feel Like a Second Skin?

Ever pulled on a top that just gets you? Our Green Ribbed Top is that magic piece that bridges the gap between 'just bought it' and 'already feels like a favorite.' Made from our signature Skinkiss® and Plantive® fabrics, it’s designed to move with you—whether you’re jumping on a last-minute Zoom call or heading out for an impromptu brunch. The secret? A fabric composition so intuitive, it adapts to your body temperature and movement, like a trusty workout legging but polished enough for the office.

How Do These Fabrics Actually Work?

Let’s geek out on what makes these materials special:

• Skinkiss®: A stretchy ribbed viscose blend that resists wrinkles and hugs curves without squeezing. Think of it as your anti-ironing secret weapon—perfect for travelers or moms who need to look pulled together in seconds.
• Plantive®: A breathable trio of viscose, cotton, and a touch of spandex. Sourced from responsibly managed forests, it’s proof that eco-friendly can feel luxe. Unlike stiff organic cotton, it has a buttery drape that mimics high-end silk knits.

Both fabrics share:

• Four-way stretch for unrestricted movement (try doing yoga in it—you’ll see)
• Matte finish that elevates casual outfits by hiding shine where you don’t want it
• Bias-cut ribs that create a smoothing effect, like shapewear without the squeeze

What Makes This Design Different From Other Ribbed Tops?

While fast fashion churns out stiff, puckered knits, ours is engineered to:

• Lay flat against the body without riding up (no more tugging at your hem after sitting down)
• Retain its shape after multiple wears—no stretched-out elbows or baggy knees
• Transition seamlessly from day to night; pair with blazers or layer under slip dresses effortlessly

It’s the subtle details—like reinforced seams at stress points (underarms, we’re looking at you) and a weightier fabric that doesn’t cling to every bump—that make all the difference.

How Do I Know Which Size to Choose?

We get it—online sizing is a gamble. Here’s your cheat sheet:

• Petite frames: Size down if you prefer a snugger fit; the stretch accommodates either way. The sleeves won’t swallow your arms whole.
• Curvier builds: The fabric’s recovery means no bagging at the waist after hours of wear. The ribs strategically highlight—not flatten—your natural shape.
• Tall folks: Extended torso length prevents accidental crop tops (we added 1.5" to the standard length).

Still unsure? Our size quiz analyzes your favorite existing top’s measurements to recommend the perfect match—down to the centimeter.

Why Should Certifications Matter to Me?

Those little labels on our tags aren’t just marketing fluff:

• OEKO-TEX: Means no nasty chemicals touched this fabric (even babies could safely chew on it—not that we recommend that).
• GOTS: Ensures fair labor practices from field to factory, so the hands that made your top were paid fairly and worked safe hours.
• FSC: Guarantees forests regrow faster than we harvest—like a renewable savings account for the planet.

When you choose this top, you’re voting for an ecosystem where workers earn living wages and trees get planted.

How Do I Keep This Top Looking Fresh?

Contrary to most ribbed fabrics, this one thrives on low maintenance:

• Wash cold inside out (the color stays true for years—no fading to a sad, washed-out mint).
• Skip the dryer—lay flat to preserve elasticity. Bonus: Air-drying prevents pilling.
• No steam needed; wrinkles fall out naturally within 10 minutes of wearing. For stubborn creases? Hang it in the bathroom during your shower.

What Makes OGL’s Approach to Fashion Different?

We design like your favorite indie bookstore curates shelves—fewer pieces, deeper stories. This top represents:

• 84 hours of wear-testing by real women (including a midwife who wore it through three back-to-back births).
• 23 pattern adjustments to perfect the neckline (too high felt frumpy, too low needed a cami—this is the Goldilocks zone).
• A pledge that every garment funds replanting initiatives (one top = five new trees in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest).

It’s not just clothing; it’s a small act of optimism you wear daily.

Final Thoughts
