Whether you are pairing with jeans and boot heels for a casual everyday look or layering up when the winter weather comes, this is the versatile item your wardrobe needs.

While Kim Kardashian’s label SKIMS may be best known for its comfortable and inclusive underwear range, don’t count out the t-shirt offering. This round-neck bone hued top has a super soft cotton-jersey material. It’s made from 90 per cent cotton and 10 per cent elastane which gives it a slight elastication that makes it figure-hugging and form-fitting. This is a great option to wear underneath see-through items or to layer up. Opt for a larger size if you want it to have a more relaxed fit.
