We all have days when we just don’t have the mental bandwidth to put a lot of thought into what to wear. Effortless comfort is key, but pulled-together – even stylish – would be nice, too. So how great is it that organic cotton can be both “green” and chic? Reach for this tank with its body skimming A-line shape and deep, picot-edged split lace hem that flutters with every breeze. A centered chest pocket repeats the lace motif for an element of whimsy. On its own, or tossed on over a T-shirt or camisole, it’s the perfect blend of comfort and style.

Classic Elite’s Seedling yarn has a lovely, soft hand, yet results in excellent stitch definition on the lace hem. Knit up, it has a slightly bouclé texture that adds to its casual appeal. Best of all, this organic cotton can’t be beat for cool comfort.
