Attribute deep dive

We break down what drove each score so you can weigh trade-offs.

Quality Analysis 70/100

This knitted top, made from a mid-weight viscose-blend with elastane, offers a smooth and supple fit. While the "dry clean" care instruction might suggest a delicate nature, the mid-weight fabric and concealed zip fastening indicate a reasonable level of construction for its intended use.

Comfort Assessment 80/100

This knitted top offers a smooth, supple fit thanks to its mid-weight, slightly stretchy fabric. The inclusion of 7% elastane further enhances comfort by providing flexibility and ease of movement.

Sustainability Impact Not Available

This knitted top, made from a viscose-blend with nylon and elastane, lacks specific sustainability indicators, resulting in a default score.
