Famous for creating failsafe, luxurious basics, Toteme describes its pieces as forming a “modern uniform” – a look that is “precise and considered, defined by distinct silhouettes, perfected cuts and elevated fabrics”. This certainly describes its cult tank. Ostensibly just a vest, I’m regularly reminded just how recognisable it is: fashion stylists and editors often ask me if I’m wearing the Toteme tank top, while inevitably knowing the answer.

In my view, the Stockholm-based label also offers an alternative to trend-driven, consumerist fast fashion. The simplicity of Toteme’s collections means that every piece will subtly refresh older items already hanging in your wardrobe. Even better, these are clothes built to last. The curved rib tank is crafted from organic cotton and elastane; having it in multiple colours means I’ve worn the design about three times a week for the last three years. And I see no need to slow down, as it washes beautifully (as well as feeling super soft against skin).
