Learn how the Earth Energy Vance Crew short sleeve top fits and how to style it for yoga, errands, or lounging.
Quick answer
The Earth Energy Vance Crew is a relaxed-fit short sleeve top with elbow-length sleeves and a raw hem, perfect for layering or wearing solo. Here's how to style it and what to expect from the fit.
Why the fit matters for this top
The Vance Crew is designed with an easy, relaxed fit, which means it drapes rather than hugs. This makes it ideal for warming up or cooling down during yoga, but it also works as a casual everyday top. The raw edge hem adds a slightly undone look, so the length may vary a bit from person to person depending on your torso.
Because the sleeves hit at the elbow, the top can feel shorter in the body on taller frames. If you prefer a longer silhouette, consider sizing up for extra length, though the relaxed cut already provides generous room through the chest and shoulders.
Fabric feel and care considerations
The fabric is described as 'so soft' and is meant to feel like a sanctuary. This softness comes from a knit that is not overly thick, so the top is breathable and comfortable for low-impact movement. However, the soft hand means it may show wrinkles after sitting or folding, and the raw hem can curl slightly after washing.
To keep the graphic and fabric looking fresh, wash in cold water and tumble dry low or lay flat. Avoid fabric softener, which can break down the soft finish over time.
How to style and wear the Earth Energy Vance Crew
- Choose the right size for your intended look: Order your usual size for a true relaxed fit that skims the body. If you want a slightly longer hem or more drape, size up. The top is not meant to be fitted, so avoid sizing down. Check the size chart for chest and length measurements; the relaxed fit means the shoulders may be wider than a typical fitted tee.
- Pair with high-waisted bottoms for balance: Because the Vance Crew has a relaxed body and raw hem, it pairs best with high-waisted leggings, joggers, or jeans. Tucking in the front or doing a half-tuck adds structure and defines your waist. Avoid low-rise bottoms with this top; the relaxed cut can make your torso look shorter without a high waist.
- Layer for warmth or style variation: Wear the Vance Crew over a long-sleeve base layer for cooler days, or under an open cardigan or denim jacket. The soft fabric layers without bulk, so it works as a mid-layer too. Because the sleeves are elbow length, a long-sleeve layer underneath will peek out nicely at the cuffs.
- Accessorize to dress it up or down: Add a simple necklace or hoop earrings to elevate the look for brunch or coffee. For a sporty vibe, pair with a baseball cap and sneakers. The earth energy graphic keeps the top casual, so accessories help shift the tone. Keep accessories minimal to let the graphic stand out; avoid large pendants that might get caught on the soft knit.
- Care for the graphic and fabric: Turn the top inside out before washing to protect the earth energy graphic. Use cold water and a gentle cycle, then tumble dry on low or lay flat. Do not iron directly over the graphic. If the raw hem curls after washing, gently steam or press it flat on a low setting (avoiding the graphic).
