Keki Orange Draped Cap Sleeve Tee

The Essential That Completes the Collection

The Keki Solid Series Draped Cap Sleeve Top in Wax Orange is the sophisticated answer to a question every curated wardrobe eventually asks: what do I wear with my statement pieces?

Wax Orange: The Color That Bridges Bold and Timeless

Wax Orange is where soft peachy coral meets warm apricot with just enough saturation to feel intentional rather than pastel. It's the color of California sunsets fading into golden hour, of terra cotta architecture glowing in afternoon light, of that perfect vintage linen you found at a Parisian flea market.

This is a warm, optimistic hue that flatters virtually every skin tone. On fair complexions, it provides gentle warmth without washing out. On medium to deep skin tones, it creates luminous contrast that makes you glow. And unlike stark white or harsh black, Wax Orange feels approachable and soft—the kind of color that invites conversation rather than creating distance.

But here's where the genius lies: Wax Orange is pulled directly from the Keki print palette. Look closely at our Keki print dresses, palazzo pants, and coordinating pieces, and you'll find this exact coral-peachy-orange woven throughout the retro psychedelic motifs. Which means this top doesn't just coordinate with your Keki print pieces—it harmonizes with them, creating tonal cohesion that feels effortless and intentional.

The Softly Draped Cowl Neckline: Elevated Simplicity

The gently cowled neckline is what separates this top from every basic tee or tank languishing in your drawer. Instead of a standard crew or V-neck, the fabric gathers softly at the collarbone, creating elegant folds that add dimension, movement, and a touch of romance to an otherwise clean silhouette.

Cap Sleeves: Coverage Without Bulk

The cap sleeves provide just enough shoulder coverage to feel polished and put-together while maintaining the breezy, relaxed aesthetic that defines the Keki collection. These aren't the tight, restricting cap sleeves of decades past—they're soft, slightly extended sleeves that skim over the shoulder with ease, creating a gentle drape that mirrors the neckline.

The Loose Fit: Comfort That Looks Intentional

At 25 inches in length, this top hits at the ideal hip-skimming point—long enough to provide comfortable coverage and tuck beautifully into high-rise pants, short enough to wear loose over jeans or trousers without overwhelming your proportions.

The loose fit is deliberately relaxed without being sloppy or shapeless. The premium ITY knit provides enough structure to maintain a refined silhouette even in a looser cut, skimming over the body with gentle drape that flatters rather than clings. This is the kind of fit that feels like a second skin in terms of comfort while reading as polished and put-together from the outside.

Montreal Craftsmanship: Made-to-Order Excellence

Made-to-order in our Montreal atelier, each top is cut and sewn only after you place your order. This approach requires patience, but delivers benefits that mass-production cannot replicate.

Styling the Wax Orange Draped Top: From Solo to Separates

With Keki Print Palazzo Pants (as pictured): This is tonal dressing at its finest. The Wax Orange pulls the coral-peachy tones from the Keki print, creating a coordinated look that feels sophisticated rather than matchy-matchy. Add neutral accessories—nude or tan sandals, a woven bag, simple gold jewelry—and you've solved weekend dressing, travel outfits, and casual Friday.

With Black Bottoms: Pair with black jeans, trousers, or a black midi skirt for classic color-blocking. The warm Wax Orange provides soft contrast against black without the harshness of stark white. This is your elevated casual uniform—polished enough for client meetings, relaxed enough for coffee dates.

With Denim: Any wash of denim works beautifully with Wax Orange. Light-wash jeans create a relaxed, California-casual vibe. Dark denim reads as more polished and evening-appropriate. Add a denim jacket in a different wash for tonal layering.

With Other Keki Pieces: Style with any Keki print dress or skirt as a layering piece. The cowl neck peeks out beautifully under V-neck or scoop-neck dresses, adding warmth for transitional weather while creating tonal harmony.

Work Appropriate: Tuck into high-rise trousers (black, navy, cream, or camel all work), add a structured blazer, and finish with pumps or loafers. The draped neckline adds just enough visual interest to keep the look from reading as boring, while the loose fit layers beautifully under jackets without bulk.

Layered for Cooler Weather: The 25-inch length makes this ideal for layering under cardigans, longline sweaters, or lightweight coats. The cap sleeves don't create bulk under jacket sleeves, and the cowl neckline looks beautiful peeking out from crew or V-neck layers.
