The Sleeveless Hooded Top is Urban Silk's best-selling women's top style. With it's stylish drapery, relaxed fit and silky jersey finish, this is why our customers shop this top style above all others...
Just the right blend of practicality and style, the Sleeveless Hooded Top is so versatile she's become a true wardrobe icon. Featuring the Urban Silk signature - the oversized hood, the draped neckline falls as a cowl neck to the front while at the back, the statement hood creates elegant drama.
Forget the hoodies and track pants of the athleisure age, or the candy-crush velour of Juicy Couture. The haute hood look of the Urban Silk Sleeveless Hooded Top evokes the glamour of Studio 54 style and Azzedine Alaia, the designer who breathed fresh sex appeal into the hood in the 1980s and 90s; and the iconic hooded looks of style icons Grace Jones as Bond girl Mayday, and later Kylie Minogue with that white dress look we just can't get out of our heads.

Whereas the plunging necklines of Grace and Kylie's hooded looks, and the body-con cuts of Alaia are probably a bit much for the supermarket aisles, Zoom calls and school drop offs, the Sleeveless Hooded Top takes the haute hood and translates it for everyday.
Straight cut, this style glides over the body without clinging or gripping. The dropped waist with it's side belt loops and self-fabric tie, creates definition at the hips and balances the drape of the cowl neckline and the oversized hood.
Designed to be worn on the shoulders, the cowl neckline drapes modestly over the decolletage. To the back, the haute hood drapes long and languidly. A work in motion, the soft stretch jersey fabric, moves with the body: the drape of the neckline and hood re-sculpting themselves as you move.
Look out too, for the French seams that join the cowl and hood to the body, and line the back of the hood. These luxury finishes assert the elevated look of this boutique design.
