PAULA RYAN Relaxed V-Neck Top - Black Merino

The open V-neck creates a clean neckline, balanced by relaxed dropped shoulders and a softly draped body. Long sleeves provide practical coverage, while the wide hem band allows the top to sit neatly at the hip or be gently bloused. Wear it with tailored pants for work, layer it over a fine base in cooler weather, or pair it with denim for the weekend.

Crafted from premium superfine merino meeting the ZQ standard, this top offers natural breathability and temperature regulation in a soft, lightweight knit. A touch of LYCRA® adds gentle stretch and shape recovery, helping the fabric move with you while maintaining its line through repeated wear. 

ZQ certification provides independently verified standards for animal welfare and environmental stewardship. The sheep are raised without mulesing and in audited, low-stress environments. Designed and made in New Zealand, this is a reliable wardrobe layer you will reach for without thinking, season after season.
