Well, not quite. The \u003cstrong\u003eCHAI GREEN by KOMODO\u003c\/strong\u003e is a fitted top made of super-soft modal with a striking cut-out above the chest. The crossed panels at the neckline add just enough drama, without making you look like you're dressed for a night at the Moulin Rouge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep green color, long sleeves, and elegant neckline make the CHAI easy to style. Wear it with black jeans for everyday wear, with nice trousers for a night out, or under a jacket when you want to look a bit more polished. We carry this style in two colors: \u003cstrong\u003eGREEN\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eWINE\u003c\/strong\u003e. This product description is for the green version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the CHAI GREEN is so lovely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade of 92% modal and 8% spandex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSuper soft and supple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePlenty of stretch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFitted silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStriking cut-out above the chest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCrossed panels at the neckline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLong, slim-fitting sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eExtended cuffs with thumbholes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDeep green color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in GREEN and WINE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWhen in doubt, choose a size up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe cut-out does the work\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most striking detail of the CHAI is, of course, the opening below the neck. Two parts of the fabric cross over each other to form a graphic cut-out above the chest. This makes the top seem simple from a distance, but up close, there’s suddenly a lot going on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening sits relatively high, roughly at the collarbone and the upper part of the chest. For most standard bras, the cups remain covered, though this naturally depends on your body type and the style of bra you wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWant to wear the cut-out slightly less exposed? You can wear a thin camisole underneath. Just keep in mind that its color will be visible through the opening. Black creates extra contrast, dark green keeps the look more subtle, and a skin-toned underlayer preserves the original effect as much as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCHAI GREEN: green, but at its chicest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe color GREEN is a rich, deep shade of green. Not a timid sage or a dull forest green, but a powerful color that sits somewhere between emerald and dark green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe color makes the top striking enough to wear on its own, while remaining dark and subdued enough to be easily combined. Green works beautifully with black, dark denim, navy blue, brown, rust, sand, and olive. Actually, this color is surprisingly easy to work with. Some people could learn a thing or two from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSuper soft modal with plenty of stretch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CHAI is made of \u003cstrong\u003e92% modal and 8% spandex\u003c\/strong\u003e. Modal is a cellulose fiber known for its soft, smooth, and supple feel. The fabric feels light on the skin and moves easily with your body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8% spandex gives the top a great deal of stretch. This allows the style to fit nicely without you feeling like you’ve been vacuum-packed into a garment. The fabric bounces back as you move and settles back into a neat fit after putting it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause modal is so supple, the fabric does show more than a thick cotton jersey would. Want to minimize visible lines under the top? Opt for smooth, seamless underwear. Or just wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. We are a clothing store, not a body-shaping authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompletely vegan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CHAI GREEN is completely vegan. No animal materials such as wool, silk, leather, or down have been used for this top. The combination of modal and spandex gives the top its soft, elastic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVegan doesn't automatically mean a garment has no impact. Fiber production, dyeing, tailoring, and transportation still require resources and energy. What we can honestly say here: this top contains no animal fibers and is designed as a versatile garment that you can wear in many different ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and size advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CHAI has a \u003cstrong\u003efitted silhouette\u003c\/strong\u003e. The fabric contains plenty of stretch, but the style is intended to sit quite close to the body. The sleeves are also slim-fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoubting between two sizes? Choose the larger size.\u003c\/strong\u003e We also advise this if you want a bit more room around the chest, have broad shoulders, or don't want the top to be very tight around your waist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to wear the CHAI exactly as it appears in the product photos, stick to your usual size in principle. If you want a slightly less fitted effect, feel free to take one size larger. Stretch can do a lot, but that doesn't mean every centimeter needs to be maximized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe KOMODO model is 170 cm tall and wears size 2, which corresponds to a UK 10 and roughly an EU size 38.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThumbholes in the sleeves\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe long sleeves end in extended cuffs with thumbholes. This allows you to partially cover your hands with the fabric. It gives the top a slightly edgier, modern look and is also nice when your hands get cold easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDon't want to use the thumbholes? You can simply wear the cuffs normally around the wrists. The extra length can then fold slightly, which suits the supple character of the fabric well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to style the CHAI GREEN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe green CHAI can be worn both casually and dressed up. It mainly depends on what you wear under and over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdgy and simple:\u003c\/strong\u003e combine it with black or dark gray jeans and a leather belt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith color:\u003c\/strong\u003e wear the top with olive, brown, or rust-colored trousers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor a night out:\u003c\/strong\u003e pair it with black slacks or a long skirt and statement earrings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnder a jacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e wear the CHAI under a blazer, overshirt, or cropped cardigan while keeping the cut-out visible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTone-on-tone:\u003c\/strong\u003e combine different shades of green for a calm yet distinctive outfit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith denim:\u003c\/strong\u003e dark blue or black denim keeps the focus on the neckline.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the cut-out is already a distinct detail, you don't need to add much extra. Simple trousers and good shoes are enough. The top does the interesting part itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAlso available in WINE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have the CHAI in two colors. \u003cstrong\u003eGREEN\u003c\/strong\u003e is the powerful dark green version on this product page. \u003cstrong\u003eWINE\u003c\/strong\u003e is a deep wine-red color with a warm, slightly more sensual look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe style, composition, and cut-out are the same for both colors. The choice is really: are you going for green or wine today? And no, “both” is not the wrong answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBe careful with bags, zippers, and rough surfaces\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eModal is wonderfully soft, but the delicate fabric does require a little attention. Sharp zippers, rough belts, chunky jewelry, and bags that constantly rub against the same spot can damage the fabric or cause small snags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBe especially careful with crossbody bags, metal buckles, and open jacket zippers. Velcro is also not a friend of fine modal. Preferably keep those two apart. Some relationships are just doomed to fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wash the CHAI GREEN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlways check the wash label in the top first. Modal stays beautiful longest when you wash it gently and don't treat it with too much heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWash the top inside out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eChoose a delicate wash cycle at a maximum of 30 °C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUse a mild detergent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWash with similar colors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eClose zippers and hooks on other garments or use a laundry bag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use bleach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePreferably avoid fabric softener.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUse a low spin speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDo not tumble dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAfter washing, gently reshape the top.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLet it air dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOnly iron at a low temperature if necessary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTry not to stuff it into the machine with jeans full of metal buttons and zippers. That might sound cozy, but for a delicate modal fabric, it’s about the same as camping in a toolbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the KOMODO CHAI GREEN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the CHAI made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe top is made of 92% modal and 8% spandex. Modal provides the soft and supple feel; spandex gives the fabric its generous amount of stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the CHAI GREEN vegan?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This top is completely vegan and contains no wool, silk, leather, or other animal materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the CHAI fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe top has a fitted silhouette and is quite stretchy. Doubting between two sizes or want a slightly less tight fit? Choose the larger size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the cut-out very low?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is relatively high, below the neck and above the chest. For most standard bras, the cups remain covered. The exact placement naturally depends on your body type and the chosen size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the green fabric see-through?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep green color does not appear transparent, but the fabric is supple and fitted. Consequently, seams and edges of underwear may be visible. Smooth or seamless underwear provides the most subtle effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the top have thumbholes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The long sleeves have extended cuffs with thumbholes. You can use them or simply wear the sleeves around your wrists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wear something under the cut-out?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A thin camisole or undershirt works fine, but its color will be visible through the opening. You can use this to create a deliberate contrast or make the cut-out appear more subtle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat other color do you have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to this green version, we also have the CHAI in WINE, a deep wine-red color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I keep modal looking nice?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWash the top inside out on a delicate cycle, use a mild detergent, and avoid the dryer. Additionally, be careful with sharp zippers, belts, jewelry, and bags that rub against the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCome try on the CHAI GREEN in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAre you unsure about the size or do you want to see how the cut-out sits on your neck and chest?
