The topic: Alexander Wang’s Sheer Ribbed Crewneck & How to Wear It…

The crewneck part of this top keeps it grounded in the Land of Basics (you know, where black Theory trousers, L.B.D.’s, and white James Perse tees live happily ever after, layered into practically any look you can create in the closet). It’s the sheer ribbing details that turn it into something worth mentioning. What better way to feature this Alexander Wang number than showing how to put it together into a look right? Here’s your answer to the ‘how to wear it’ question:

1. Alexander Wang Sheer Ribbed Crewneck- was $450,  now $225 (www.lagarconne.com) | 2. 3.1 Phillip Lim Cropped Bootleg Trouser- was $350, now $175 (www.lagarconne.com) | 3. LAMB ‘Ethel’ Pleated Peep Toe Pumps- was $275, now $99 (www.lordandtaylor.com) | 4. French Connection Bow Leather Shoulder Bag- was $275.82, now $165.49 (www.us.asos.com) | 5. Diana Warner ‘Martha’ Gold Studs- $60 (www.nationaljeancompany.com) | 6. MARC by Marc Jacobs ‘Henry Glitz’ Chronograph Watch- $250 (www.lordandtaylor.com)

It’s a simple look. The neutral greys and taupes work well back to a bag in that red/orange pop color. Nothing overdone, just an easy look to wear to work or around on the weekends. I’d say substitute flats if you feel like giving your feet a break, but with the cropped hem, you’re going to want the height a heel will provide.
