Browse all Frame tops →The Novelist Tie Tank -- Chambray Blue Multi
The verdict
Fit
Tie tanks typically sit close at the shoulders and waist. Chambray suggests a woven, slightly structured fabric; expect modest drape from the tie accent. True to size.
Quality
Chambray construction is durable; Frame's execution at this price delivers reliable seaming and color consistency. Weave texture should persist through regular wear.
Is the price fair?
Mid-premium pricing reflects Frame's branding and design detail. Fair for the category, not a bargain.
Best for
Shoppers looking for a textural tank with design interest for casual and layered wear.
Care
Machine wash cold and line dry to preserve the chambray weave and tie detail.
What owners report about Frame tops
Third-party coverage of Frame's tops is thinner than for its denim, but what exists is broadly positive: owners of the silk blouses describe them as very high quality pieces they wear repeatedly, with body-skimming cuts and puff-sleeve details. Reviewers credit the wider clothing line's materials, naming silk and cashmere alongside the denim. The practical gripes are care and price: the silk tops are labeled dry clean only, which some owners work around by washing cold, hanging to dry, and steaming, and Trustpilot carries scattered quality-control and customer-service complaints aimed mostly at the jeans rather than the tops.
- Strengths
- The silk blouses are the standout of the tops range — owners report high-quality fabric and flattering, body-skimming cuts they wear repeatedly.
- Watch out for
- Dry-clean-only care labels on the silk tops and premium pricing are the recurring drawbacks, alongside scattered quality-control complaints on Trustpilot directed mostly at the denim.
