Perfect Layering Pieces

Around mid-February, you start to realize that you really do need to embrace layering a little more. If you see snow outside your window right now, a sweater is not going to cut it. You need something else next to your skin to keep toasty, and it can be very tempting to just throw on any old threadbare tank top or tee. But if you want to be warm and stylish, you need extra-special layering pieces. They have to be non-bulky, have a flattering cut, and feel soft.

So don't just buy the first white tank you see. We've reviewed five prime winter layering candidates that we love for different reasons (and that you can keep wearing into spring). Read on for the details.

Signature Tank by The Underground Darling ($30.00)

Best pick for: Sneaky layering and "home alone" moments.

The Signature Tank is the vamp of the bunch. Made of power knit nylon, it's a daringly see-through option that will make you feel unstoppably feminine when you put it on. We liked it because the plunging neckline allows you to wear it as an extra layer under virtually anything (even an evening dress). Buy it now at The Underground Darling.

Ocean Drive Long Tank Top ($21.00)

Best pick for: Multipurpose wear

100% cotton, with a narrow rib pattern, flattering scoop, and a fabulous, nipped-at-the-waist fit. Our tester ended up wearing this tank out for a night of dancing, so clearly it's for more than just the gym. Buy it now at National Jean Company.

C&C California Long Classic Bold Tank ($45.00)

Best pick for: Really bundling up; larger-chested girls

A supersoft, finely ribbed tank with a fun Grecian-inspired neckline, wide straps, and a semi-sporty back. Its extended length (it hit at mid-thigh for our 5'6" tester) makes it great for sealing the warm air in under your coat. Buy it now at National Jean Company.

Generra Tank (€32)

Best pick for: When black or white tanks get boring

We tried this tank in "Shadow", a beautiful mushroom-hued neutral that works with black, brown, or denim. This is the most "featherweight" of the tanks we sampled. It practically floats on the torso. Another point of note: The ingenious neckline somehow made our somewhat small-chested tester instantly look a cup size bigger! Buy it now at Misamu.

Splendid Superfine Vest in Navy (€27)

Best pick for: Under a blazer at the office

A silky, bodyskimming tank made by the experts at Splendid. This tank feels substantial and professional, but would also look great with a pair of short shorts or a box-pleat skirt come summertime. Buy it now at Misamu.


Saint Grace Pointelle Tank
($36.00)

Best pick for: Feeling truly cozy (requires another layer on top; is a bit see-through)

The cut of this tank is absolutely killer. Hugs you in all the right places, falls to an enjoyable hip length, and feels a bit like cashmere. Saint Grace is known for creating comfortable clothing with feminine shaping, and this tank is no exception.
