Velvet Peg Cami

The Peg Cami is one of those quiet pieces that makes the rest of the wardrobe easier. The slim, delicate silhouette slips under jackets and button-downs without adding bulk, but has enough detail to stand on its own when the weather is too warm for another layer.

Use it to soften denim, bring a little femininity to a trouser, or replace the plain tank under an open shirt when you want the outfit to feel more finished. It is not trying to be the statement — it is the reason everything around it looks better.

Why we chose it: The most useful layering pieces are the ones you are happy to reveal.
