Why Should Your Wardrobe Include a Long Sleeve Cut Out Top?
Ever wondered how to add intrigue to your everyday outfits without going overboard? The long sleeve cut out top is your answer. It's that perfect middle ground between classic and daring—structured enough for work (think subtle side cutouts or a modest back reveal) but with just the right amount of edge for weekend hangs. Unlike crop tops or plunging necklines, the strategic cutouts offer visual interest while maintaining coverage where it counts. Plus, it works across seasons: layerable in winter, breathable in summer.
How Do You Style It for Maximum Impact?
- Office with Edge: Pair with tailored trousers and minimalist jewelry to balance the cutouts. Try a monochrome look with black on black—the cutouts will add texture without breaking professional boundaries.
- Weekend Cool: Throw on with high-waisted jeans and ankle boots. For extra flair, choose a top with asymmetric cutouts that peek out when you move.
- Layer Hack: Works surprisingly well under blazers or oversized cardigans—the peekaboo details create dimension. Try pairing a waist-cutout style with a cropped blazer for intentional framing.
- Confidence Tip: Start with smaller cutouts if you're new to the style (like a single shoulder slit), then level up to boulder back designs as you get comfortable. Remember: placement matters more than size.
What Makes Our Cut Out Tops Different?
While the market's flooded with fast-fashion versions, our tops stand out through:
- Thoughtful Structure: Cutouts placed to flatter, not flatten your silhouette—like diagonal ribcage cutouts that emphasize waist definition.
- Movement-Friendly Fabrics: Stretchy yet structured materials that don't ride up (no constant tugging needed!). Our proprietary blend maintains shape after multiple wears.
- Ethical Production: Made with either Skinkiss® or Plantive® certified fabrics (more on that below), with non-toxic dyes that stay vibrant. Each piece is finished with reinforced stitching around cutouts for longevity.
How Do I Find My Perfect Fit?
Online shopping for fitted tops can be tricky. Here's our cheat sheet:
- For Broad Shoulders: Look for cutouts along the waist rather than sleeves—this draws attention downward and creates balance.
- Petite Frames: Vertical cutouts elongate your torso; avoid horizontal designs that can shorten your silhouette.
- Size Up If... You plan to tuck it into high-waisted bottoms, as the fabric will need extra give at the hips.
- Pro Tip: Check our size guide's 'compare to your favorite tee' feature—measure a well-fitting top you own and match it to our dimensions. Still unsure? Our live chat stylists can recommend cuts based on your body type.
What's the Story Behind Our Materials?
Our fabrics tell a sustainability story:
- Skinkiss®: Forest-friendly (FSC certified) and skin-safe (OEKO-TEX certified). The moisture-wicking technology keeps you cool, while the ribbed texture hides minor pulls.
- Plantive®: Biodegradable (OK Biodegradable seal) and organic (GOTS approved). This fabric softens with each wash like vintage cotton, but resists stretching out.
Unlike synthetic alternatives, these materials breathe better and develop a beautiful drape over time. They also require 30% less energy to produce than conventional fabrics—something you can feel good about with every wear.

FAQ
Q: Won't cutouts make this a 'one-season' piece?
A: Actually, well-placed cutouts have remained relevant since the 90s—it's about balance. Our designs avoid trendy placements (no random midriff holes) in favor of timeless asymmetrical or geometric cuts.
Q: How do I wash something with delicate details?
A: Turn inside out, cold wash, and lay flat to dry. The fabrics we use resist pilling. For cutouts with raw edges, we include a free mesh laundry bag—wash enclosed to prevent snags.
Q: Can this work for formal occasions?
A: Absolutely—choose our higher neckline version and pair with a midi skirt or sleek blazer. The "Audrey" style features a single back keyhole that looks polished with pearl accessories.
