RENEE | Flowing V-neck long sleeve

The wine is a real wine. Most colored tops at this price look washed out in the box.

Buying color online has taught most of us to be careful. The photograph shows a deep green and what arrives is a thin, faded version of it that looks cheap the moment you hold it up, so the safe purchase becomes black again, and the closet keeps getting darker one disappointment at a time.

Renee comes in four colors that all have depth to them, brown, wine, teal and green, and the fabric is soft and substantial enough to hold them rather than letting them go flat. The shape flows rather than clings, following the body gently instead of tracing it, and the V-neckline opens the front so the color sits away from the face rather than up against it. Long sleeves, so it carries through the cooler end of the year.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Colors with depth in them. Wine, teal, brown and green rather than pastels or another black, and a fabric with enough substance to hold the tone.
• It flows instead of clinging. The cut follows the body gently rather than tracing it, which is what makes a plain top wearable all day.
• The V keeps the color off your face. An open neckline sets a strong color away from the skin, where a high neck would push it right up under the chin.
• XS through 3XL. One of the few in this collection that starts below S, so the range runs wider at both ends.

How it fits

Renee is true to size and cut to flow, in XS through 3XL. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, because the drape is the whole point and a close fit turns a flowing top into a fitted one. The size chart lists chest, length and sleeve in inches, measured flat.

I ordered the teal expecting to send it back and I have ordered the green since.

It has some weight to it. Not the thin jersey I was braced for.

The brown works with everything I own, which I did not expect from a brown.
