Zenana Mock Neck Layering Top | Mocha / S 100101966009952

How to measure

To choose the best size, measure either your body or a similar top you already own. Use a soft/tailor's measuring tape and keep it parallel to the floor. Record measurements in inches and centimeters.

1. Measuring your body — Bust (Full Bust):

   Wear a close-fitting bra. Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest and under your arms. Keep the tape level and snug but not tight. Record the measurement.

2. Measuring a flat garment — Chest/Bust (recommended for tops):

   Lay a similar top flat on a table, smooth out wrinkles but don't stretch fabric. Measure straight across the front 1" (2.5 cm) below the armholes from side seam to side seam. Double that number to get the full chest/bust measurement. Example: 17" flat = 34" full (43 cm = 86 cm).

3. Waist:

   Measure around the narrowest part of your torso (usually above the belly button). For flat measurement, measure across the garment at the waistline and double.

4. Hips:

   Measure around the fullest part of your hips with your feet together. For a garment, measure flat across the hem (or fullest point) and double.

5. Shoulder width (garment):

   Lay the top flat and measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.

6. Sleeve length:

   Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve. For raglan or set-in sleeves measure from center back neck to wrist if that is how the product size is listed.

7. Garment length (Center Back):

   Measure from the high point of the shoulder (where shoulder meets neck) straight down to the hem.

Fit allowance: For a slim layering top, add about 1–3" (2.5–7.5 cm) of ease at the bust for comfortable layering. If you plan to wear bulky layers underneath, allow more ease or size up.

Materials

Check the product label or product page for exact fiber content. Typical Zenana mock-neck layering tops are made from soft, stretch jersey blends; common fibres and their characteristics are below.

• Rayon / Modal / Viscose (often ~95%) + Spandex (~5%):

  Very soft with excellent drape and a smooth hand. Breathable and comfortable as a next-to-skin layer. Spandex provides stretch and recovery. Care: gentle wash, avoid high heat.

• Polyester + Spandex blends:

  Durable, shape-retaining, and low-wrinkle with good colorfastness. Slightly less breathable than rayon blends but easier to care for (more tolerant of machine drying on low).

• Cotton blends:

  Breathable and natural-feeling; may have less drape than modal/rayon but is easy to launder.

Note: Always refer to the exact composition printed on the product page or label—care recommendations below are adjusted for typical blends.

Model information (reference)

Model shown is for fit reference: Height 5'9" (175 cm) — wearing a size Small. Model measurements (example): Bust 34" / 86 cm, Waist 25" / 64 cm, Hips 36" / 91 cm. Use these as a guide when comparing to your measurements or a favorite top.

If you're between sizes and plan to layer thicker pieces underneath, consider sizing up for more room.

Care guide — To keep it lovely longer

• Turn the top inside out before washing to protect color and surface.
• Machine wash cold on the gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent.
• Use a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging and reduce friction.
• Avoid bleach and limit fabric softener (it can reduce elasticity over time).
• Reshape and lay flat to dry for rayon/modal blends; tumble dry low for polyester blends if label allows.
• Iron on low heat if needed; use a pressing cloth for delicate fibres or iron inside out. Steaming is a safe alternative for removing wrinkles.
• Store folded instead of hanging lightweight knits to prevent shoulder stretching and distortion.
• Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or sweater comb; treat snags promptly by tucking the loop back to the inside.
• Spot-treat stains promptly with cold water and gentle detergent—avoid hot water on rayon as it can shrink or set stains.

Always follow the garment’s care label first—these are general best practices for common layering-top fabrics.

Style tips

• Everyday layering: Wear under an open cardigan or oversized shirt for a lightweight polished base. The mock neck adds instant refinement.
• Work-ready: Pair with a tailored blazer, tapered trousers or a pencil skirt, and loafers or low heels for a clean office look.
• Casual: Tuck into high-rise jeans or joggers with sneakers and a denim jacket. Try a half-tuck for a relaxed silhouette.
• Night out: Layer beneath a slip dress or under a leather jacket; add ankle boots and statement earrings for contrast with the high neckline.
• Accessories: Because of the mock neck, opt for long pendants or bold earrings rather than choker-style necklaces. Thin belts over the waist can add shape when wearing it tucked into skirts.
• Seasonal: Use as a base layer in winter under chunky knits or coats. In transitional months, wear alone with a trench or light blazer.
• Color & texture: Pair neutrals with textured pieces (corduroy, tweed, leather) for depth, or layer tonal shades for a sleek monochrome look.
