Traverse Top

This open-knit tank relies on a vertical, ladder-stitch construction that creates a deliberate transparency, emphasizing the negative space between the threads. The cut is clean and high-necked, functioning as a lightweight architectural layer that avoids the bulk of traditional knitwear. It leans into a spare, mid-century resort aesthetic, best paired with high-waisted trousers to ground its airy, sheer composition.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The garment is primarily composed of viscose, a semi-synthetic fiber that requires intensive chemical processing, often involving carbon disulfide, which presents significant environmental and potential residual toxicity risks. The addition of 15% polyester further limits the breathability of the knit and introduces petroleum-based microplastics into the fabric matrix.
