About the colours. The supplier now delivers the bright green only, which is our button green 2.

Who it's for

For you if you wear a thin turtleneck as a base layer most of the winter and want one with a wink. It is green, it says Lucky, and it still sits flat under a blazer.

It is a small one size. The maker lists a chest of 80 cm, so it suits a slim to medium frame.

Fabric and feel: cotton with 10% spandex

The composition is 90% cotton and 10% spandex. Ten per cent spandex is a lot for a cotton top. It is what lets a chest of 80 cm stretch over the body and still close neatly at the neck and wrists.

In the photos the fabric is smooth and thin enough to tuck into jeans without a bulge at the waist.

Fit and silhouette: close to the body

There is one size. The maker's table gives a total length of 59 cm and a chest of 80 cm. The cut is fitted, and on the models it follows the body and the arms closely.

At 59 cm the hem reaches the hip, long enough to stay tucked in.

Size chart (cm)

Source: the maker's size table. It does not say how the chest was measured; the fabric has 10% spandex, so it gives.

Styling: under, over, alone

The photos show it alone with high-waisted light jeans, tucked in. That lets the lettering on the sleeves show.

Under a blazer or a pinafore dress only the collar and cuffs peek out, and those are exactly where the word is. Bright green goes well with camel, navy and grey.

Occasions

Everyday wear from October to April: the office, college, a weekend in town. Around St Patrick's Day it is suddenly very on theme.

Care: follow the label

The maker's data has no washing instructions, so follow the label sewn into the top. As a general habit, wash tops with lettering inside out so it keeps its edges.

The wow detail: the word shows where your jacket ends

Most slogan tops put the text on the chest, where a jacket hides it. Here it is on the collar and at the wrists. Those are the three places a top stays visible under another layer, so the word is still there when you are fully dressed.
