All about the Kristin top

Style your way








Build your wardrobe with the Kristin top

The Kristin top offers the wardrobe-building simplicity of a classic woven tank, with a twist. This wrap-style tank features a clever three-armhole design, making this tank a far cry from basic. Bust darts, a relaxed fit, and a slightly cropped length make for a flatting fit for both misses and curvy sizes. Try pairing this top with high-waisted bottoms or layer this piece over your favorite sleeveless dress.

The Heidi shorts offer versatile style and a relaxed fit that even shorts skeptics are sure to love. Heidi’s high-waisted design, pleats, and relaxed fit make these shorts look great in a range of fabrics, from drapey rayon to lightweight denim. A simple side seam invisible zipper keeps these shorts looking clean and polished.

The curvy fit for the Heidi shorts has more ease in the hip compared to the misses fit, due to the deeper pleat depth. You can adjust the pleat depth as needed to achieve the desired fit.
