Livotte came out of a personal need for two busy mums, who are also fashion veterans, to have a more effortless and efficient way to dress. We were looking for a uniform and a wardrobe staple like the mans’ shirt but not another button down. A t-shirt that was feminine yet tailored and designed like your favourite silk blouse. That was the look we were going for and is still our mission today. It had to work with jeans because Beth is always in denim and it had to work with trousers and skirts because that is more Delphine’s look. It helps that we have different style, different body types and could build a collection that could meet the needs of [nearly] every woman. Whether you work from home, go to an office, have kids or not the elevated tees weave into your existing wardrobe and seamlessly go with everything!
There are tons of t-shirt companies out there from Madewell to James Perse and a variety of price points. But we didn’t want to be a t-shirt company. As a matter of fact, many women tell us that our tops are so much more than t-shirts which is where “the t-shirt, elevated” came from. They are in fact elevated and a step above the rest. Beyond the organic combed cotton, use of branded Lycra over average elastane and professionally tested to over 200 machine washes, the designs are tailored. We didn’t want to offer a basic crewneck, V-neck and scoop neck and call it a day. We wanted shapes, fits and necklines that were truly unique to the t-shirt world. Our split neck top is just that. It’s designed for the woman who loves a V-neck, wants to enhance her bust and/or neckline but doesn’t want a basic V-neck tee. The placket is flattering and can be sophisticated, preppy and elegant. There are four styles available in this neckline: Rachel which is short sleeve and more relaxed through the body, Olivia which is long sleeve and also relaxed with a bohemian, vibe, Molly which has a shorter puff sleeve and narrower in the body and the newest which is Pammy which is long sleeve and narrow through the body.
Here are four styles and four ways to wear the split neck top but these are mere suggestions, and we design our tops so you can be flexible and wear them your way:
Always remember to embrace your personal style wear it your way. The best part is you can wear, wash, love, repeat!
