With a tank top : choose a tank top that's fitted underneath, to structure the cut.

✦ 2. The cardigan or lightweight knit top
Open or buttoned, it offers a subtle volume.
With a Marcel : minimal base, clean effect.
With a merino sweater : worn over it, the sweater becomes even more sophisticated.
✦ 3. The lightweight turtleneck
A fine knit with a high neck, understated elegance.
With a Marcel underneath : anti-scratching, thermal regulation.
