Grana Review Silk Cashmere Oversized Crew Neck

*sponsored post*

Hi guys, so here's my second sponsored post from Grana.  I reviewed Grana's Silk Cashmere Tee, which I loved so when they asked what other items I wanted to try out, I couldn't help but me tempted by their long sleeve version of the top.  And just as I loved the short-sleeved tee, I love their long-sleeve version as well.

Like I said before the silk cashmere material is super luxe: it's smooth and silky.  I did notice though that it can be prone to static in the dry winter weather so I've been wearing a cotton tee underneath to keep it from sticking to my body.  I ordered this in a medium, which is the perfect size if you want to layer something underneath.  

What do you think of the color?  I'm a little bit eh about it which makes me think I'm just not a pink kind of person?  But other than that, I really love the fit and fabric.  I have to admit that Grana makes some of the best basics and I like knowing they value fair labor conditions and labor rights.  If you take a look at my Ultimate Grana Reviews Post, you can see that currently the "Not So Great" section is empty and that's because to be honest there's nothing that I've disliked from Grana (...yet anyway lol).

Grana Silk Cashmere Oversized Tee Review

Hi y'all, back again with another Grana review (just because I'm on the road doesn't mean the review train stops, lol).  So I ordered Grana's silk cashmere oversized tee because I was intrigued by the silk cashmere knit.  I love Grana's silk and I like their cashmere (review of this also coming soon), so I decided I should try the blend.  And I'm super glad that I did because I love this top!

I ordered this in a small and I think it was the perfect size (I'm usually a small on top but I order Grana's shirts in a medium for a looser fit).  Even in the small size, the fit was loose and easy (just the way I like it).  I like the modern square shape of the tee (hmm I wonder if they're taking some styling cues from Everlane) and that it's a bit longer in the front and the back.

Now on to the best part of the tee, the silk cashmere material: it's super soft but still thin (and because it's thin make sure you wear a well fitting bra unlike me, or else you'll have some bra lines showing).  Also because it's thin, the top is not super warm.  But it's the perfect layering piece for your fall wardrobes. The material feels super luxe and a lot more expensive than the $79 price tag (it really feels like a $100+ top).      

I really love this top and look forward to wearing it under my coats and styling it in more interesting ways. If you're interested in trying it out, use this referral code for 10% off your first purchase from Grana.  And you can find all my other Grana reviews here.
