KHAITE Leni Top

Product Insights & Style Tips

The KHAITE Leni Top radiates cool precision—a luxe riff on classic knitwear with New York confidence and a sharp, sculpted silhouette. Cut from a plush midweight mix of wool, cashmere, and just enough stretch, its touch is creamy and substantial, never fussy. The deep V-neck and ribbed trim signal a modern, restrained sensuality, balanced by a cropped fit that frames the waistline and calls out to be styled high-rise. The finish is as elevated as you’d expect from KHAITE: both tactile and polished, with that sleek-black edge Catherine Holstein’s line is built on.

This is the kind of top that follows you across the city, skating easily between ends-of-day drinks and coffee runs. It slips on smoothly and contours with a close, body-aware fit that moves as you do, never stiff, thanks to its elastane blend. The length lends itself to high-waisted denim or tailored pants, and the knit weight makes layering a breeze—under a trench, over a slip dress, or just bare against the skin. The ribbed trim gently anchors at the edges without constriction, and the V-neckline sits right on the knife’s edge of classic and current.

KHAITE has a knack for pieces that feel like modern heirlooms, and the Leni Top is no exception. The label’s signature balance—sophisticated but undone, strong yet soft—runs through every detail, making this one of those rare knits that transcends seasons and trends, styled with boots or ballet flats, vintage denim or a tailored skirt, depending on your mood.
