Cat print has come a long way from novelty tees. Somewhere between the animal-print revival and our collective love of getting comfortable, cat motifs became something you can wear to brunch, the office, or an evening out and feel put together.
That's the spirit behind Lounge Cats, our newest print, now available in our popular organic cotton jersey. Picture a relaxed, repeating pattern of cute white housecats, lounging on either a deep navy or a rich plum background. It's playful without being loud, and the soft, breathable jersey feels as good as it looks.
Start with a top: Caitlin or Camille
If you want to try the print in a simple, wear-with-everything way, choose your favorite silhouette:
- Caitlin Short Sleeve Top is easy, boxy, and made for warm afternoons or layering under a cardigan as the weather cools. Available in navy and plum, in sizes XS to 3X.
- Camille Long Sleeve Top is the cozy, cooler-weather sibling, ideal for crisp fall days.
Both are made to go with your favorite jeans. Want to dress it up a little? Try a Mata skirt in a coordinating color and let the cats be the conversation piece.
Dresses more your style?
We've got you, in two very different moods.
The Greta Long Sleeve Dress is your comfy fall dress. It has full, long sleeves and a knee-length hem. Pair it with boots for a look that's classy, cozy, and just a little bit cat lady in the best way. It comes in both navy and plum.
The Ellie Mock Neck Swing Dress is our 70s-inspired pick, with a mock neck, mid-length sleeves, and a swing shape that moves with you. It comes in extended sizes up to 3X. Here's how we'd wear it:
- For an evening out: kitten heels or boots dress it right up.
- For daytime: fun sneakers or knee-high boots keep it relaxed and full of personality.
Why organic cotton jersey?
Because clothes should feel as good as they look. Jersey has a soft drape and a little stretch, so you can move through your day without thinking about what you're wearing. Add organic cotton and fair trade production, and you're getting a piece you can feel good about in more ways than one. At Mata, every piece is made by artisan partners who are paid fairly for their work, which means the cats on your dress come with a good story too.
Find your Lounge Cats look
Whether you start with a simple top or go all in on a dress, Lounge Cats is an easy way to add a little personality to your fall wardrobe. Classy, comfy, and just a touch of whimsy.
