The long-sleeve crop tops are made completely out of hosiery and can easily be worn under sleeveless dresses to transform your look.
The layering shirts are designed "to give you an incredibly lightweight, comfortable second-skin feeling" and are non-shaping to ensure your comfort. They are seamless as well. Available in 11 very different hues, from monochromatic neutrals to highlighter yellow to night-appropriate metallic shimmer shades, the garment will keep bare arms warm in cooler weather as well as keep things looking toned.
