I should preface this by saying I am trying to keep my wardrobe for the spring/summer relatively small and well-edited. On the other hand, I wanted to add a few comfortable, good quality items that would work for casual workwear (air-conditioned office, so lightweight layers, long-sleeved shirts or cotton sweaters work best) and for casual weekend wear.
I bought the relaxed high/low tee from 3 dots that looks so fab on Nancylee. The choice of sizes was somewhat limited so I could not get all the combinations of sizes/colors I wanted to try. #1 is white S - I like the higher neckline in this size but not sure how much wear I can get out of a white t-shirt (a lot of my toppers are dark so that would be a high contrast). #2 is navy M - I like the color but am not comfortable with the low neckline (although I liked it layered over a black scoopneck tee to add more coverage).
The rest of the items are from Lastcall. #3 is WIlt tee (very nice cotton slub; asymmetrical hem with a "rough", unfinished edge). #4 is green tee from WIlt. These two are about 1/3 the price of 3 Dots tees. I like the fabrication and the fit, although I am wondering whether they tend to look a bit tent-like from the side because of the wider hem. With the navy tee, I think the unfinished hem makes it too casual for work but it would be great for weekends. With the green, is the hem in front too short?
#5-6 - Vince sweater (S in #5, M in #6). It is in terracotta or rust color, not red. I am no longer used to wearing cropped sweaters so I can't figure out whether this has potential and what kind of bottoms would be best for this. The cotton knit is super comfortable but the length gives me pause.
I added stock photos at the bottom to show the details better.
What do you think?
