The Week You Sort Out What Earns a Spot on the Rail

When the wardrobe is one rail and a drawer, the basics have to do the quiet work. This set is three of them: a pair of wide leg jeans, a chunky knit cardigan and a double lined tank. They are for anyone building a closet on a small budget, where every piece has to pair with the other two.

  1. The wide leg jeans for a Saturday with nowhere to be

    These wide leg jeans sit high at the waist and close with a zipper and button, finished with a raw frayed hem. The fabric is 72% cotton, 23% polyester, 3% viscose and 2% spandex, so there is some give. Petite and tall sizes are listed, and the size chart is worth checking first.

  2. The chunky cardigan for a slow Sunday in a small flat

    The cardigan is chunky knit with an open front, a deep V neck and buttons, so it goes on and off easily. It is 100% acrylic. The listing suggests sizing up for a slouchy fit, though how loose to wear it is a matter of taste. It sits over the tank and the jeans as the warm middle layer.

  3. The square neck tank top for hot afternoons and easy plans

    The tank has a square neckline, shoulder straps and a slim fit, with a double lined fabric made for opacity. It is 80% nylon and 20% spandex, so it stretches. Sizes run from XS to 3XL, and the listing gives bust, waist and length. Tuck it into the jeans or wear it under the cardigan.
