LANIUS mock neck shirt ANIMAL: the layering hero with a bit of spice
This is one of those shirts where you can immediately envision three different outfits. The LANIUS mock neck top with animal print is made from soft TENCEL™ Lyocell, organic cotton, and a touch of elastane. This makes it feel smooth, soft, and comfortable, while ensuring it keeps a nice, fitted silhouette.
The print is just right: bold, but not over the top. The olive green base with black, pink, and ochre yellow accents makes this shirt just a little more exciting than a plain long-sleeve. Worn under a blazer, cardigan, sweater, or dress, it instantly adds character to your outfit. And with jeans, it's just effortlessly easy and fun.
Why you want this shirt
A good mock neck top is truly one of those pieces you’ll wear more often than you expect. This shirt is thin enough to wear as a base layer, but beautiful enough to wear on its own. The small standing collar provides a calm, polished look, and the slim fit ensures it falls nicely along the body.
Thanks to the combination of TENCEL™ Lyocell and organic cotton, the fabric feels soft and breathable. It’s not a thick winter shirt, but rather a perfect layering basic with a print. Great under a wool cardigan, a blazer, a slipover, or a sleeveless dress. And if your outfit feels a bit dull? This is exactly the shirt to wake things up.
Fit & styling
The LANIUS mock neck shirt has a slim fit. This means it follows your silhouette without feeling like a tight, synthetic sports top. The elastane provides plenty of stretch and freedom of movement, allowing the shirt to move comfortably with you.
Wear it under a black blazer for a dressed-up look with a wink. Or combine it with wide-leg trousers, jeans, or a skirt. This print also works really well under a plain sweater or cardigan: you’ll see just the collar and sleeves, giving your outfit more depth instantly.
The color combination is surprisingly versatile. It looks great with black, dark blue, denim, olive green, burgundy, brown, beige, and off-white. Practically everything already hanging in your autumn and winter wardrobe will get a boost from it.
Material & washing instructions
This shirt is made of 61% Lyocell TENCEL™, 34% organic cotton, and 5% elastane. TENCEL™ Lyocell feels soft and supple, organic cotton gives the fabric a natural base, and the elastane provides stretch and comfort.
Wash the shirt inside out at a low temperature and do not use too much detergent. Don't overfill the washing machine so the fabric can rinse thoroughly and stay in good condition. Air dry the shirt and avoid the tumble dryer. This is better for the fabric, the print, and the longevity of your garment.
Avoid ironing at high temperatures. Often, simply hanging it up neatly after washing is enough. You can find extra tips in our laundry guide, which you will receive with your purchase.
Sustainable & fair
LANIUS creates clothing with attention to beautiful materials, fair production, and wearability. This shirt is made with TENCEL™ Lyocell and certified organic cotton: materials that are pleasant to wear and better suited for a conscious wardrobe.
And just as importantly: this isn't a shirt that only looks good on the hanger. It’s a practical layering item you’ll reach for again and again. Under cardigans, blazers, sweaters, and dresses. Because clothing you wear often is ultimately the best purchase.
Do not buy if...
Are you looking for a loose-fitting shirt or a thick turtleneck sweater? Then this is probably not the model for you. This top is designed with a slim fit and is intended as a thinner layering piece.
But if you are looking for a soft mock neck top with a print that instantly makes your outfit more interesting? Then this is a really great find.
