What to wear under woollies

[cardigal]

As much as I love cashmere and soft wools I don't want to wash them everytime I wear them so I'm wondering what you would wear underneath. Especially V-necks.
Thanks :)

I love how Hush style their knitwear. Lots of layered vests and scarves with v-necks. They have a "look book" too for more ideas www.hush-uk.com

Thanks for the link boho will check it out.

Vests are no good, I need underarm cover between me and the wooliies if that makes sense.

Is tshirts too simple an answer?

Where do you buy your wollies OP? I could do with stocking up on a few nice bits.

I wear vests, t shirts, long sleeve tops and shirts under sweaters.

I use John Lewis mainly. Edinburgh Woollen Mill do great cashmere - - easy care (as long as you can get past the polyester jackets)

Teeshirts are the way to go but I can't find really fine ones. My regular tees add a lot of bulk.

Also, they always show under a V - maybe I should make that part of the look

Thanks, I'll have a look at the Mill.

On tshirts, I've had some reasonable tshirts from ASOS before - thin material and deep v necks. Also have a look in COS.

Boden do great lightweight long sleeved tops which are perfect for this. I prefer merino to cashmere as I just ruin cashmere but I find merino a bit itchy so these tops are great.

Thin long-sleeved tops from M&S. Not too exciting but does the job :)

[cardigal]

Thanks, I'm not missing out on some wonder-product am I? :) Will check out M&S.

They used to do a pima cotton tee which I loved and was thin enough.

Thin stretchy Ts. Short or long sleeve. Land's End are brilliant.

Heattech tops are great for wearing under clothes as they are very thin.

Thank you!

Maybe a better antiperspirant too?

I'd never need to wash a jumper after 1 wear unless I was working in a very hot and steamy environment.

why would you need to wash it after 1 wearing?

I wear Uniqlo heat tech tops too . Sleeveless or 3/4 sleeves

They add little bulk as they are very thin and come in lots of colours .

I even wear them on so called " summer " days like today, under my loose s/s top , to keep my mum tum and norks warm

I'd recommend a very thin silk top, with long sleeves. Lands End do a nice one in several colours, although you'll find cheaper elsewhere. Don't use bio detergent, though, as the enzymes damage the silk protein.

My anti-perspirant is very effective thank you.

Thanks for all the teeshirt recs, love the idea of the silk ones :)
