The Ultralight with Cashmere boatneck top became an unlikely fixture of last autumn, appearing under blazers and over slips until it read less like underwear and more like a second skin.
The styling pairs it with coordinating silk shorts and visible lingerie, a layering that treats the top as both outer layer and foundation.
For daylight, layer the top under a boxy jacket and let the lace edge travel past the sleeve.
The principle at work is tonal dressing with a single textural interruption. When colour and weight stay close, the eye reads the body first and the garments second.
