SHARON | Half sleeve top with arm coverage

Everything else in the drawer stops about three inches too soon.

The short sleeve on a plain top ends at exactly the wrong place, which is the top third of the upper arm. So you stand in the mirror, pull it down half an inch, watch it ride back up, and put a cardigan on over it in July. The tops themselves are fine. The sleeve length is the entire problem, and almost nobody makes it longer. Sharon does.

The sleeve is a longer half sleeve, cut to come down past the point where a short sleeve gives up, so the upper arm is covered without going all the way to the elbow and adding heat. The body is relaxed through the bust, waist and hip so nothing clings, the neckline is a plain round, and the fabric is light and smooth. It is an ordinary everyday top with one measurement corrected.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• The sleeve goes further down. Longer than a standard half sleeve, which covers the part of the upper arm most tops leave exposed, and is the whole reason to buy this one.
• Relaxed through the middle. It sits softly rather than tightly at the waist and bust, so it is not trading arm coverage for a snug body.
• Light enough not to need a cardigan. Breathable and smooth, so it replaces the layer you were putting on for coverage rather than for warmth.
• Seven colors to mix. Gray, white, blue, pink, royal blue, yellow green and black, and it layers under a cardigan in cooler months.

How it fits

Sharon is a relaxed fit and runs true to size, in S through 3XL. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, because a sleeve that is snug around the arm defeats the point of the extra length. Machine wash cold with similar colors, hang to dry or tumble dry low, no bleach. The size chart has the flat measurements in inches.

A few recent reviews

I bought three. I have not worn a cardigan in the heat since June.

The sleeve is loose around the arm as well as longer, which matters just as much.
Marietta J., Tempe

It is a simple top. It is simply cut correctly, which is apparently rare.
