Sage Scuba Top

Why Should Sage Be Your New Neutral?

Ever feel like your wardrobe's missing that one effortless piece that ties everything together? Meet the Sage Scuba Top—your new canvas for infinite outfit possibilities. This isn't just another basic; it's the whisper-soft layer that elevates neutrals from 'safe' to 'statement'. The muted green-grey hue strikes the perfect balance between warm and cool undertones, making it flattering against all skin tones while standing apart from predictable beiges and blacks.

How Do You Style a Scuba Top for Maximum Versatility?

1. Office-Ready Polish: Pair with wide-leg trousers and minimalist gold jewelry for a 'quiet luxury' vibe. Try a sleeveless version under structured blazers for summer meetings, or the long-sleeve style with a sleek midi pencil skirt.
2. Weekend Ease: Knot loosely over high-waisted jeans with leather slides—the slightly cropped front creates perfect proportions. For cooler days, layer over a ribbed turtleneck in coordinating earth tones.
3. Layering Hero: Wear under slip dresses when evenings get breezy. The smooth fabric prevents static cling, and the scoop neckline frames delicate necklace layers beautifully.
4. Monochromatic Magic: Build tonal looks with charcoal or sand-colored separates. For depth, mix textures like wool crepe pants with the top's subtle sheen.

Pro tip: The scuba fabric's subtle sheen makes it transition seamlessly from day to night—keep a compact steamer in your desk drawer to refresh after work hours.

What Makes This Material Special?

• Responsibly Sourced: 92% recycled nylon with OEKO-TEX® certification, processed without harmful chemicals. Each top repurposes approximately 5 discarded fishing nets.
• 4-Way Stretch: Moves with you without losing shape—tested through 50+ washes while maintaining recovery.
• Temperature-Regulating: Ideal for commutes and climate-controlled spaces; the breathable knit wicks moisture during subway dashes yet insulates in over-airconditioned offices.
• Wrinkle-Resistant: Pack it for travel without worry; rolls neatly in carry-ons and emerges presentable even after long flights.

Who’s This Top Designed For?

The Sage Scuba Top speaks to:

• Urban professionals seeking polished comfort—the curved hem stays tucked during presentations but moves freely during lunchtime errands.
• Minimalists building a conscious capsule wardrobe—it replaces three lesser-quality basics with one perfected piece.
• Travelers needing reliable trans-seasonal pieces—layer it under sweaters in winter or solo in spring.

It's cut slightly longer in the back (1.5" extra) for modern proportions that flatter most body types, with strategic darting that skims rather than clings.

How Do You Care for Performance Fabrics?

• Wash cold inside-out to preserve elasticity—use a mesh bag if laundering with zippered items.
• Air dry flat to maintain the scooped neckline shape—avoid direct sunlight which can degrade recycled fibers.
• Steam instead of ironing to protect the fabric's texture—the heat-activated memory fibers respond better to gentle steaming.
• Store folded rather than hung to prevent shoulder dimples—the weight of wet fabric can distort the shoulders if hung to dry.

What’s the Legacy of the Scuba Silhouette?

Originally developed for divers in the 1950s (hence the name), this adaptive fabric crossed over into fashion via 1990s sportswear innovators who recognized its movement-friendly properties. Today's refined iterations (like our Sage Top) honor that functional heritage while elevating the details—notice the hidden flatlock seams that prevent chafing during all-day wear, and the laser-cut armholes that eliminate bulk under jackets. The silhouette nods to vintage wetsuit styling with its athletic ease, but the drape remains decidedly sophisticated.

What Else Works With This Palette?

Build around Sage with:

• Textured cream blazers—the heathered yarns pick up the top's grey undertones.
• Brushed gold hardware—warmer than silver but less harsh than yellow gold against the muted hue.
• Eco-leather accessories in mushroom or slate—avoid true browns which can clash.
• Linen blend trousers in oat or taupe—the Sage acts as a bridge between these neutral cousins.

For unexpected contrast, try pairing with deep aubergine or iron-blue bottoms—the top's neutrality lets these colors shine without competing.
