I’m due for a refresh in the base layer and underpinnings category. A few items I’m eyeing or am already loving for layering beneath sweaters and cool Euro-vibes coats a la the chic pea above this winter (BTW, I am totally contemplating a pair of Converse sneaks thanks to her!):

THIS J. CREW HENLEY

LOVE THE CUT OF AYR’S HANGOUT TEE — LOOKS LIKE A SLIGHTLY DRESSIER VERSION OF THIS OUTDOOR VOICES STYLE I LOVE AND WOULD BE PERFECT WITH THESE JEANS

SKIMS TEE

SPLENDID’S CREWNECK TEE — SLIM FIT AND PERFECT BENEATH A THICK SWEATER (IN LOVE WITH THEIR NEW FROSTING PINK STRIPE) OR FLEECE

OLD NAVY’S LS THERMALS ARE WORKHORSES — GREAT FOR LAYERING BENEATH SNOW GEAR, WEARING TO BED, ETC

INTO THE SLIGHTLY SOPHISTICATED NECKLINE OF THIS GAP TEE, AND THIS FEATHERWEIGHT VARIATION (ALSO FROM GAP) PROMISES TO BE NON-BULKY

THIS LONG-SLEEVED SLIM TEE FROM THE GREAT — LOVE THE CUFFS AND MATERIAL LOOKS WONDERFULLY LIGHTWEIGHT

THIS MANGO

EVERLANE WAFFLE HENLEYS

VELVET TEE

For underpinnings, still sticking with all my long-time favorites here but recently came across well-reviewed lingerie brand Negative and picked up a few of their styles, too! I also often get the question of what to wear beneath a nap dress and I go sans but have heard from all but one Magpie that this Skims style is PERFECT beneath. (It’s what Nellie Diamond suggests, too.)

My big question for you: what brands do you love for basic black non-athletic-looking leggings? I rarely wear this look so I usually just put on my Aligns if I’m going casual, but I also exercise in those so I always feel very dressed down in them. A few styles that seem like a better fit for pairing with sweaters
