As winter approaches, it's important to have versatile pieces in your wardrobe that you can mix and match to create multiple outfits. A basic long sleeve top is a perfect addition to any minimalist winter capsule wardrobe.
This timeless piece serves as a foundational layer that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Whether you're pairing it with jeans for a relaxed weekend look or dressing it up with a blazer and heels for a night out, a basic long sleeve top can provide the perfect starting point for your winter outfits.
However, choosing the right base layer is crucial in the winter season, not only for comfort but also for maintaining your style. If you get this layer wrong, you may find yourself in the uncomfortable and unflattering position of having to remove your coat, revealing a not-so great outfit underneath.
To avoid this issue, invest in well-fitting versatile long sleeve tops in varying shades, silhouettes and fabrications (that you’d be happy to wear alone!). For example, The Nora Top from Arnsdorf comes in a black rib knit fabrication with a boat neckline and effortlessly elevates a pair of jeans. The Leila Top from Marle is a semi sheer knitted top and can be paired with a full-length black jean or a silk pant for an evening out. The Chloe Top from Arnsdorf is another versatile option if you’re looking for a day to night option. Featuring an envelope neckline and slightly flared sleeves, it’s perfect for transeasonal evening dressing.
The long sleeve top deserves a spot in your winter capsule wardrobe and if you weren’t convinced before, you should be now.
