Frequently Asked Questions
What occasions is this top suited for?
The Waffle Knit Colour Block Patchwork Short Sleeve Top is ideal for casual everyday wear, smart-casual social occasions and any setting where you want to look texturally distinctive and effortlessly considered.
Is waffle knit cosy or cool?
Waffle knit in lightweight polyester is a year-round transitional fabric — comfortable in mild to warm conditions and suitable for layering in cooler weather. It is not a heavy winter knit.
Does waffle texture hold its shape?
Machine wash cold inside out on a gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry rather than hanging or tumble drying to maintain the waffle pattern structure and prevent distortion.
Is high stretch comfortable for everyday wearing?
Yes — high stretch adapts comfortably to your shape throughout the day, returning to its original form after wearing. It makes the top more comfortable and versatile than a non-stretch alternative.
