Humble base layers can sometimes be the makings of an outfit, with a luxurious tank top being a prime example. This off-white number by Scandi label Totême is made from a soft knitted fabric that makes it look and feel more substantial, meaning you’ll want to show it off. “I have always been very strategic when dressing. I love the idea of creating a uniform,” says Elin Kling, the brand’s ultra-chic co-founder. Follow her lead and use it to form a versatile foundation to your daily uniform. Paired with Bottega Veneta’s chocolate-colored suit and a pair of sneakers, it lends a laid-back feel to precision tailoring. Or, with a matching knit – Proenza Schouler’s ecru cardigan goes perfectly – and a fluid silk skirt, it adds a sumptuous finish, making it fundamental for off-duty elegance, too.
