Long-Sleeved Tops for Winter.

I’ve had a few questions about tops to wear this winter — not sweaters, not tees — but the kind of thing you can pair with jeans for a casual but polished look. I’ve been hunting for exactly this myself, and am sharing a shortlist of my favorites finds:

01. Agolde Delphi Ribbed Tee. I just ordered in the chocolate brown. I like the idea of this with any pair of jeans — including ecru and black! I paired my brown Arlette turtleneck with black jeans and my Gucci logo boots over the weekend and loved the look.

02. Speaking of — Arlette turtleneck! An icon. Love the buttons at wrist. This has a nice, thick weight — good for chilly days — but still stretchy and ultra-soft. Zara has a look-for-less style in more limited colors here.

03. Negative Underwear whipped henleys. I spotted one of these on the lovely Anna Kloots and immediately ordered one to try. She was wearing with jeans / day-wear even though they appear to be marketed more as undergarments. She looked so chic and sexy!

04. Leset Kelly tee. I’ve talked your ear off about the pointelle tees, but now I’m contemplating their basic ribbed style. I own this in the short-sleeve and it runs very snug. Might go up to a small (typically, I’m a true XS).

05. So, of course, Leset pointelle tees, too. My big layering obsession this fall/winter. TL;DR: you will look forward to laundry days because you’ll get your pointelle tee back.

06. Talbots Ribbed Crewneck. In my closet in ivory and gets much more wear than I anticipated. This is great for tucking into a statement pair of jeans (I’m wearing with my metallic ones!) or layering beneath another chunky cardigan / coatigan situation.

07. Commando turtleneck bodysuits. Have been hearing such good things about this brand’s jersey basics. Very intrigued by these for tucking into skirts / high-waisted trousers so you’re not constantly fiddling with the shirt hem / re-tucking.

08. La Ligne Fete metallic cashmere turtleneck. Another find in my cart — I love the idea of wearing this with high-waisted jeans and great heels for a festive-but-not-frou-frou moment. Get the vibe for less with this Boden.

09. Enza Costa Scalloped Crew or henley. These look ultra-soft and cozy.

10. Alex Mill ribbed turtleneck. The red is just SO perfect.

P.S. Shared more favorite tees (mainly striped and short-sleeved) here. I also did just order two short-sleeved tees, as sometimes I prefer that beneath a sweater when in transitional weather: Leset’s classic Margo (never tried, have heard such good things) and Leset’s pointelle short-sleeve. I also (still!) love my $15 Uniqlos, and have heard good things about Rag & Bone’s “The Tee.”

P.P.S. What songs do you secretly love?

P.P.P.S. When do you feel most like a mom? And — every phase is a good phase.
