Guide to XCVI: A Cheat Sheet

At XCVI, fashion is often anything but formulaic. Our styles were made to bend, move, and break the mold, and fit real lives—not just traditional clothing categories. Many of our styles walk between the label lines, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. From jacket-dress hybrids to shackets and untraditional leggings, XCVI never sacrifices practicality or ease for style and detail. In fact, comfort and being fashionable go hand in hand for us.

In case you need any decoding, we’re excited to share a guide to our untraditional, and sometimes hard to define styles.

TOPS

Many of our tops fall outside of traditional categorizations. Here’s how ours break the rules!

Tanks: Sleeveless and collarless (but still anything but basic). XCVI tanks aren’t just layering pieces. These tanks make their own splash with unique details like adjustable hardware and eye-catching asymmetrical hemlines.

Tees: Often made of soft cotton-based fabrics, XCVI tees are cap sleeve, short, or ¾-sleeved. Unique hems, raw edges, or draping details make sure that even staple pieces feel special.

Shirts: Structure is key here, but even our most elevated pieces maintain flexibility and comfort. Our shirts are usually woven and often feature closures like snaps and buttons, or collars both traditional and unexpected. Polished and stretchy poplin, relaxed-fit button-downs, and breezy blouses bring some extra refinement to the everyday.

Sweaters: We present you with our go-to cozy pieces. Knit, warm, and comfy as can be, XCVI sweaters can be anything from a pullover, poncho-inspired style or a longline cardigan. Expect some unexpected details like exaggerated pockets, unique button closures, or contrasting fabrics.

Sweatshirts: Often made in our plush terry fabric or classic soft knits and lined with fleece, our sweatshirts make a statement at home and worn out on the go. Many have long sleeves but don’t be surprised if you come across a poncho or two…

Vests: XCVI vests are cropped or longline, often tactical wear-inspired, and are designed to bring dimension to layering. However, many of our vests can be worn on their own as a top, usually featuring interesting hardware detail and pockets.

Jackets: Zipped, buttoned, or snapped, these long-sleeved styles go from casual to elevated with ease. Often featuring flexible ribbed inserts for added comfort and easy movement, many jackets can also be worn as standalone tops. We also love jacket-dresses—a true XCVI signature style. 

Cover-ups. These airy styles usually have no closure in front and are great for throwing on over just about any look you throw at it. Often made of lightweight cottons, linens, or crochet, our cover-ups are great for vacation or an added touch to your outfit.

 

ONE-PIECES

One-and-Done. One piece can do it all! These make getting dressed easy and undeniably stylish.

Dresses: From short and mini to midi or maxis, our dresses go from casual to night-on-the-town or wedding guest-ready with the touch of a sneaker or a heel. From poplin to linen, our dresses stand out with unique details like balloon hemlines, shirring, and an always-flattering fit.

Jacket-Dresses: An XCVI signature hybrid piece! Wears like a dress, but can also function like a lightweight jacket, and usually features a two-way zipper and longer length. 

Jumpsuits & Rompers: A jumper is a capri or pants-length one-piece and a romper refers to a one-piece shorts style. Both are effortless, cool as can be, and easy to transition from relaxed to elevated.

 

BOTTOMS

Our bottoms are made for movement if that’s how you roll, lightweight comfort, plenty of stretch, and details that add dimension, function, and style. From wide-leg trousers and longline cargo skirts with pockets on pockets to velour joggers and leggings in unexpected fabrications, XCVI bottoms are built for movement, made with stretch, and designed with details that go beyond basic. Here’s how we break it down.

Skirts: Let’s talk length. For our skirts, we measure from the top of the waistband to the hem, and that measurement helps determine the category.

Short: These fall above the knee and are great for warm days or layered in cooler weather.

Long: These hit below the knee and go into midi and maxi territory.

Whether ruched, tiered, or asymmetrical, our long skirts are lightweight, never constricting, and designed with ease-of-movement and statement-making in mind.

Crops: Crops are designed to hit mid-calf to ankle, but depending on your height, a crop can end up fitting as a full-length pant, so pro tip—make sure to check your inseam measurement! Crops range from gaucho or capri styles to tapered cropped leggings in poplin.

Joggers: Our joggers aren’t just for exercise or loungewear—we love joggers in twill, faux leather, and stretch poplin as well. Banded at the ankle with a gently tapered silhouette and relaxed look, we shake up the usual idea of a jogger with unique materials.

Leggings: Our leggings are not your average yoga pant. Our leggings are made from poplin, seasonal corduroy, or thicker knits. They’re leggings that go far beyond the gym—legging fit, wear-anywhere style. Structured and sleek, our leggings redefine this go-to silhouette.

Pants: Flared, bootcut, or cargo, our pants range from soft-volume wide-leg styles to twill cargo pieces with maximum detail. What do they all have in common? Style, movement, and comfort that transitions from day to night with ease.

Shorts: From knee-length bermudas to mid-thigh sporty styles, our shorts are about comfort and of course, standout details. Wear with sandals, sneakers, or slides to go with whatever vibe you’re feeling.

At XCVI, our clothes don’t always fit into specific boxes. We like it that way and love that you do too! Stay unique, stay you—and do it looking great in XCVI.
