Destree Tops and Knitwear: 15 Pieces From Joan to Amoako

A Destree top is a fitted, graphic piece with one architectural detail: a flared cuff, a mock neck, a peplum waist, a cap sleeve. Start with the Joan Wool Flared-Sleeve Top in Beige from Destree, then add the Wenda Paisley Mock-Neck Top in Brown and browse all knitwear on Coveti.

Almost every top here is cut close to the body and designed to tuck into a high-waisted trouser, so read this alongside our Destree trousers guide. Below, the knits and tops are grouped by neckline and sleeve, with fabric, fit and what to wear with each one.

Key facts about Destree knitwear and tops

  • Destree is a Paris womenswear label founded in 2016 by Geraldine Guyot and Laetitia Lumbroso, with a graphic, structured aesthetic.
  • Most Destree knitwear in this edit is 100% merino wool; the Joan top is a 50% merino wool, 50% viscose blend.
  • The Joan top has a slim fit, a round neckline and long sleeves with flared cuffs.
  • The Amoako satin cropped tops are 85% polyester and 15% silk, fully lined in viscose.
  • Nearly every top is marked true to size; the Roberta poplin blouse is marked fits large, so size down.
  • The tops and knits in this edit are made in Portugal, according to their product pages.

What is the Destree Joan top?

The Joan is a slim, long-sleeved knit top with a clean round neckline and flared cuffs, knitted in a soft blend of 50% merino wool and 50% viscose.

It is the closest Destree comes to a bell sleeve sweater. The body is slim and elongated, so the flare at the wrist reads as a clear architectural gesture rather than volume. The Joan Wool Flared-Sleeve Top in Beige is the easiest colour to wear with brown and ecru tailoring, while the Joan Wool Flared-Sleeve Top in Navy Blue gives a darker base that works with black and grey trousers.

Because the cuff is the point, keep jackets off and bracelets minimal. Tuck the Joan into a high-rise trouser and let the sleeve fall over the hand.

Which Destree tops have a mock neck?

The Wenda top, the Frida vest and the Oliver top all have a high neckline, and each one suits a different layer.

The Wenda Paisley Mock-Neck Top in Brown is a fitted long-sleeve top in a tonal brown paisley, 86% viscose and 14% polyamide, with a classic mock neckline and a clean straight hem. It is cut from the same fabric family as the Celine Paisley Straight-Leg Trousers in Brown, so the two make a print set.

The Oliver Viscose High-Neck Top in Black is the simplest piece in the edit: 98% viscose, 2% elastane, a fitted cut, a high neckline and long fitted sleeves. It is the layer that goes under every coat and jacket. The Frida Knit Embroidered Vest in Ecru is sleeveless, in 100% merino wool, with a mock neckline and tone-on-tone scroll embroidery down the front. Wear it alone in early autumn and over a white shirt later in the season. It sits with other sweater vests on Coveti.

What is the difference between a mock neck and a turtleneck?

A mock neck is a single upright band that sits close to the neck without folding, while a turtleneck is taller and folds over on itself.

That shorter height is why the Destree mock necks work so well under collarless coats: they fill the neckline without bulk. A turtleneck adds warmth but changes the line of a structured jacket, so Destree tends to keep its high necks short and fitted.

What are the Destree knitwear pieces for Fall Winter 2026?

The Fall Winter 2026 knits are mostly 100% merino wool, with sculpted shapes: a peplum sweater, close-fitting tops, a vest and the Adrian knit jacket.

The Rosa Ribbed Knit Embroidered Sweater in Ecru has a fitted bodice, a subtle flared peplum waist and tonal scroll embroidery around the round neckline. If you like the shape, our guide to peplum tops covers how to wear it with straight and tapered trousers.

The Agathe Wool Knit Top in Black and White is a close-fitting merino top in a graphic two-tone palette, and it also comes in plain brown. Pair it with black tailoring so the pattern carries the look.

The Adrian is a structured knit jacket. The Adrian Embroidered Wool Knit Jacket in Ecru has a fitted waist with sculptural tonal embroidery, a tonal button front and voluminous sleeves with ribbed cuffs, all in fine merino wool. The Adrian Wool Knit Jacket in Brown keeps the structured silhouette in deep brown without the embroidery. Both work as a soft alternative to a blazer, and you will find them in the cardigans edit.

Is the Destree Roberta blouse a high neck blouse?

Yes, the Roberta is a crisp white cotton poplin blouse with a refined high neck, a concealed front closure and an elongated curved hem.

The Roberta Cotton Poplin High-Neck Blouse in White is 100% cotton with long sleeves. It is the one top in the edit marked fits large, so size down from your usual FR size. The long curved hem can be left out over a slim trouser and tucked into a wide one. Browse more in the blouses edit.

What are the Destree Amoako cropped tops?

The Amoako cropped tops are short, fitted tops cut to match the Amoako jackets and the Yoshitomo trousers, in satin and denim.

The Amoako Satin Cropped Top in Black has a V-notch stand collar, cap sleeves, a cinched waist, a long covered-button front and a scalloped peplum hem. The Amoako Satin Cropped Top in White has a mandarin collar, tonal covered buttons and short cap sleeves, fully lined in viscose. The Amoako Denim Cropped Top in Dark Blue repeats the fitted cropped shape in 75% cotton, 24% polyester and 1% elastane denim. Paired with matching trousers, each one becomes a two-piece; our Destree sets and suits guide shows the combinations.

What other Destree tops are in the collection?

The Calo and Elvira tops bring the season’s Checker and Snake surfaces to simple shapes.

The Calo Checked Top in Camel pairs a boat neckline and a loose, structured silhouette with crisp white French cuffs fastened by hammered gold-tone jewel buttons. The Elvira Snake Cotton Top in Dark Brown is 100% cotton with a graphic Snake finish, and Destree pairs it with tailoring and denim alike.

How do you style Destree tops with a coat?

Keep the top fitted and the neckline high, so the coat closes cleanly over it.

The Oliver and Wenda tops are thin enough to sit under the wool Maria and Maelle coats, and the mock neck fills the collarless Mathilde neckline. The Adrian knit jacket can take the place of a coat on mild days. Our Destree coats guide covers each coat and what to layer under it, and every top on Coveti can be filtered by neckline.

Frequently asked questions

What is a mock neck top?

A mock neck top has a short upright band of fabric that sits close to the neck without folding over. The Destree Wenda top and Frida vest both have one.

What is the difference between a mock neck and a turtleneck?

A mock neck is shorter and does not fold, while a turtleneck is taller and folds over on itself. A mock neck sits more neatly under a structured jacket.

Who looks good in a mock neck?

A fitted mock neck suits most frames, especially when tucked into a high-waisted trouser to define the waist. A longer neck and narrow shoulders show it off best.

What is the Destree Joan top made of?

The Joan top is knitted from a blend of 50% merino wool and 50% viscose. It has a slim fit, a round neckline and long sleeves with flared cuffs.

Do Destree tops run true to size?

Most Destree tops and knits are marked true to size. The Roberta cotton poplin blouse is marked fits large, so size down.

What do you wear with a bell sleeve sweater?

Wear a bell sleeve sweater with a slim, high-waisted trouser and keep jackets off so the sleeve can be seen. Minimal jewellery at the wrist keeps the line clean.
