Spring is a tricky season. One day you need a coat. The next day you are sweating on the subway. It can feel like too much for one week, let alone one outfit. So what do you wear.
Here is a simple answer. A white ribbed tank top from Merz b. Schwanen.
It shows up at just the right time. On cooler days, it works as a base layer under a shirt or sweater. When the weather turns warm, it stands on its own. No fuss. No drama.
The fit is not too tight, not too loose. The paneled crew neck and armholes are well made and hold their shape. This thing looks neat without trying too hard.
It is made from 100 percent organic cotton.Solid and soft at the same time. The ribbed fabric weighs 7.2 ounces per square yard, or 245 grams per square meter. It has enough weight to feel durable, but it is still breathable for warmer days.
There is a small swan loop label at the hem. A quiet detail. Easy to miss, but nicely done.
The ribbing runs up and down, giving the shirt structure and stretch.
A white tank top will not change the world. But it will make getting dressed easier. It will keep you comfortable when the weather cannot make up its mind.
Sometimes that is enough.
