Two-Tone Capsule: The Iconic Marcel, Highlighted in Black
With the Two-Tone Capsule, Tricots Marcel introduces a graphic variation of its signature marcel. A subtle novelty, conceived as a nod to vintage athletic jerseys, where the natural ecru of the cotton meets the sharpness of black borders. At both the neckline and armholes, the contrast defines the line, structures the silhouette, and gives this essential piece a new presence.
Neither disguised nor nostalgic, this two-tone tank top captures the spirit of the 70s with precision: a sporty allure, retro charm, and contemporary obviousness. The black highlights without hardening. The ecru softens without erasing. Together, they create a graphic marcel, easy to wear, yet unmistakable.
A two-tone tank top inspired by vintage athletic jerseys
The Two-Tone Capsule draws from the imaginary world of yesterday's sports locker rooms: training jerseys, close-fitting pieces, frank and functional tank tops worn as much for movement as for asserting an look. Tricots Marcel delivers a more refined, softer, and more contemporary interpretation.
The ecru cotton retains that intimate and natural feel characteristic of the marcel. The black borders add definition, almost like a drawing on the skin. They frame the garment, reveal the cut, and reinforce its character. The result: a two-tone undershirt that is both simple and assertive, designed for those who appreciate beautiful basics with an extra touch of attitude.
A unisex piece, between iconic underwear and style garment
Like the signature Tricots Marcel marcel, this two-tone capsule is worn closest to the body. It embraces the body without constricting it, accompanies movements, and naturally finds its place in the everyday wardrobe. Under an open shirt, with raw denim, high-waisted trousers, a summer jacket, or simply worn alone, the two-tone tank top asserts a direct, effortless elegance.
Its cut and spirit make it a resolutely unisex piece. For both men and women, the ecru marcel with black borders plays on contrasts: softness and sharpness, intimacy and assertion, popular heritage and contemporary demands. It does not seek to seduce through excess. It imposes its style through the precision of detail.
Tricots Marcel savoir-faire, with the added charm of the 70s
Behind this graphic novelty, the essentials remain: textile expertise, a fondness for beautiful knitwear, and the demand for a piece made to last. Tricots Marcel reinvents the undershirt without betraying its strength: a pleasant fabric against the skin, a precise cut, meticulous manufacturing, and that extra soul that transforms a basic into a signature.
The Two-Tone Capsule retains the authenticity of the marcel, while giving it new energy. The black detail evokes vintage sports outfits, sunny silhouettes, free summers, bodies in motion. But the piece remains perfectly contemporary: sober, legible, graphic, easy to combine.
A graphic essential for the everyday wardrobe
This two-tone marcel tank top is designed as an everyday piece, but never ordinary. It can be worn as refined underwear, discreet under a shirt or light sweater, or as a stand-alone top when the season allows. Its ecru color brings softness, its black finishes add presence, and together they create a silhouette that is both natural and refined.
The Two-Tone Capsule is for those looking for a quality tank top, a revisited undershirt, a timeless piece with a graphic touch. A marcel that retains its authenticity but dares to contrast. A basic that isn't just useful: it defines a look.
This is Tricots Marcel.The signature marcel, with an added vintage spirit.
