Layering over a base layer for a sheer look
This sheer, pleated mock-neck top is designed to be worn over an underlayer, such as a darker camisole, which shows through the semi-transparent fabric. In the product images it is styled over a darker, non-sheer triangular underlayer that forms a deep V shape at the chest, creating contrast under the crinkled sheer fabric. The underlayer shown is not included with the top.[1,2,3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Chiffon Twist 2 Mock-Neck Top: Choose this if you want a sheer, finely pleated mock-neck top with long sleeves and a fitted silhouette that slightly flares at the hem, made from 100% recycled polyester in a Mauve colorway (size 2 listed). The semi-transparent fabric means skin tone and any underlayer will show through, so plan to layer it over a camisole. Note that care is delicate—machine wash cold on gentle cycle in a laundry net, dry flat in the shade, no ironing, tumble drying, or dry cleaning, and avoid hanging it—plus sizing can vary slightly from item to item.[1,2,3,4,5] | Flat Seams Fine-Knit Turtleneck Top: Choose this if you want a sleek, minimalist fine-knit turtleneck with almost imperceptible flat seams, in a close-fitting silhouette with very short cap sleeves and a straight hem at the hip. It is a stretch knit in a nylon-cotton blend with a high, snug turtleneck, made in Japan, and offered in the Off White variant shown here in size 2. Note the fit runs close-fitting through the chest and waist and the sleeves leave most of the upper arm exposed, so it suits those comfortable with a body-skimming, exposed-shoulder look.[6,7,8] | Concealed Knit Asymmetrical Sheer Top: Choose this if you want a sheer, lightweight knit with sculptural asymmetry: it is crafted from two square panels in a silky lyocell-and-nylon blend, with a wide boat neck, short asymmetric sleeves, an indigo/dark blue colorway, and a draped panel that falls past the hem. It is designed for layering, since the fine semi-transparent knit shows what is worn underneath. Note that the care instructions specify hand washing cold or dry cleaning only, laid flat to dry.[9,10,11,12,13] |
