Black and White Basic Tops – Build Your Wardrobe From the Ground Up

Short answer: Black and white basic tops are the foundation of a flexible wardrobe: they go with everything, can be worn all year round and never go out of fashion. Choose them in bamboo viscose, and they keep their shape and softness, even when worn and washed often.

Why the wardrobe starts with black and white

A black tank top and a white top can be combined with jeans, skirts, blazers and knitwear without thinking about colours. Because they are worn so often, it pays to choose quality rather than buying cheap and replacing them all the time. See the selection of bamboo tops for women.

Quality you notice in everyday life

Basic tops in bamboo viscose hang smoothly around the body, breathe and feel soft against the skin day after day. You can read the maths behind investing in basics in the post on bamboo and economy.

How to keep your light tops white

Wash white tops on their own at 30-40 degrees without fabric softener, and let them air dry; that way both colour and shape last. All the details are in our washing guide for bamboo clothing.

Frequently asked questions

How many basic tops do you need?

A good start is two to three black and two to three white tops. Then you always have a clean basic, whatever the rest of the outfit is.

Why choose basic tops in bamboo?

Because they are worn and washed often, the quality pays off. Bamboo viscose keeps its shape, hangs smoothly and stays soft wash after wash.

How do I stop white tops from turning grey?

Wash them separately from dark clothes at a low temperature without fabric softener, and let them air dry instead of tumble drying them.
