ABOUT THE GARMENT

The Wietske Tank is a sleeveless top in double rib. It has a fitted shape and a high neckline. The hem ends on the hip bone for a comfortable length.
The tank has a cool and urban vibe and is great for an off-duty look with jeans and sneakers, but also suitable underneath a blazer for business meetings. A timeless basic piece to wear over and over again.
