Product Insights
Twik's Cinched Waist Striped Off-The-Shoulder T-Shirt, priced at $39 CAD and in stock, is an exclusive Simons in-house label designed in Canada, featuring a stretch jersey fit that keeps the off-shoulder neckline in place without frequent adjustment. The 95% TENCEL Modal jersey wicks moisture, stays soft, and allows the yarn-knit stripes to drape smoothly without creasing, remaining vivid through 50+ washes with proper care. TENCEL Modal's certified biodegradable fibers and closed-loop production reduce water and carbon footprint by at least 50% compared to generic modal, offering value over cheaper cotton alternatives, though stripe alignment at seams may vary between production runs.

Deep Research
How the cinched waist shapes the fit
- Because the body is loose and only cinched at the waist, the top provides ample room through the bust and hips while still creating a natural waistline — the stretch TENCEL Modal jersey lets the gathered section expand and contract with movement, so the silhouette stays defined without feeling tight or riding up.
How to wash and keep it soft
- Always dry the top flat on a towel or rack — hanging a wet modal garment stretches it out permanently because modal absorbs 50% more water than cotton and becomes heavy enough to distort its own shape.
- Place the top in a mesh bag before washing — the fine modal fibers are prone to pilling from drum friction, and a bag is essential to keep the knit smooth.
- Turn the top inside out before every wash to shield the outer surface from abrasion and help the striped knit hold its finish.
- Use only a mild liquid detergent — fabric softeners, bleach, and enzyme-heavy formulas strip modal’s softness and breathability over time.
- Machine-wash the top in cold water on a delicate cycle to prevent the modal fibers from weakening and pilling — hot water and aggressive agitation degrade the fiber's smooth structure and can cause irreversible whitish marks.
- The TENCEL Modal fiber itself is engineered to retain its softness and color vibrancy through 50 or more wash cycles without pilling, so a consistent gentle-care routine keeps this top looking and feeling new for years.
How it stacks up against similar tops
- The Twik top is cut from stretch TENCEL Modal jersey, a lyocell fiber that delivers a silk-like drape, exceptional softness, and moisture management — a distinct step above the 95% cotton / 5% elastane or 60/35/5 cotton-poly blends found in competing off-shoulder striped tops like Boohoo's yellow stripe version.
- At 39 CAD, the Twik top sits above the heavily-discounted Boohoo stripe off-shoulder top (currently $17.10 USD, originally $57) but offers a Simons-exclusive design; the premium goes toward an in-house Canadian design team's output rather than the fast-fashion model of ultra-low price points — appealing to buyers who prioritize concept over cost.
- As an in-house label developed exclusively for Simons, a department store with a strong editorial identity in Canadian fashion, the Twik top avoids the generic fast-fashion cycle; its design originates from a brick-and-mortar retailer's team rather than a pure-play e-commerce platform, offering a more curated, seasonally thoughtful take on the off-shoulder trend.
- TENCEL Modal is produced by Lenzing using a closed-loop process that recovers and recycles solvents, significantly reducing environmental impact compared to conventional viscose used in comparable tops like the PrettyLittleThing Shape polo (100% viscose); for an off-shoulder top, this adds an eco-conscious layer without sacrificing the soft hand that modal is prized for.
Twik by Simons: the brand behind the top
- Being a Simons private label designed in Canada means Twik bypasses external licensing and wholesale markups, which is how a $39 CAD piece can incorporate TENCEL Modal — a botanic fiber typically reserved for higher-tier basics.
What TENCEL Modal brings to the fabric
- TENCEL Modal fibers are certified biodegradable and compostable in various environments, so at end-of-life the jersey won't persist as landfill waste the way synthetic blends do — a meaningful end-of-life benefit for an everyday top.
- The fiber structure naturally absorbs and releases moisture, supporting a drier microclimate against the skin — a functional benefit that makes a bare-shoulder top more comfortable in warm weather or humid settings than a standard cotton tee.
- TENCEL Modal production uses at least 50% less water and emits at least 50% less carbon than generic modal, per the Higg Materials Sustainability Index, so choosing this $39 top directly reduces your garment-level environmental footprint relative to conventional modal pieces.

Q&A
3 answered- Will the off-the-shoulder neckline stay in place during normal wear, or does it require frequent adjustment?
- The stretch TENCEL Modal jersey fabric and the cinched waist design help anchor the off-the-shoulder neckline, so it generally stays in place during normal wear without frequent adjustment. Fit can vary by body type, so we recommend trying it on.
- How does the shirt fit on different bust sizes? Does the off-shoulder design accommodate larger busts without excessive fabric?
- The stretch TENCEL Modal jersey fabric and loose fit (cinched only at the waist) should accommodate a range of bust sizes, including larger busts, without tightness or excessive fabric bunching. The off-shoulder design relies on the fabric's stretch and the garment's relaxed silhouette rather than a fitted bodice, which helps it adapt to different proportions.
- Is the striped pattern woven or printed? How does the pattern align at the seams?
- This top is made from a stretch TENCEL Modal jersey knit, so the striped pattern is knit into the fabric using different colored yarns—it is not woven or printed. Seam alignment can vary by production run, but we aim for consistent pattern matching in our tops.
