Samsoe Samsoe Alexo Tank Vest in White

The white vest. Not exactly headline news. Still somehow responsible for making half your wardrobe work.

The Samsøe Samsøe Alexo Tank Vest in White is a women’s slim-fitting ribbed tank top made from soft, stretchy organic cotton jersey. With its higher round neckline, wide shoulder straps and clean fitted shape, it’s the sort of beautifully simple wardrobe basic that gets worn far more often than the exciting thing you bought at the same time.

At BWD, we love clothes with personality. But sometimes you need the piece that sits quietly underneath them and makes the whole outfit work. Enter Alexo.

Why it made the cut

• The fine rib makes it feel more polished than your average white vest.
• 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane gives it softness, stretch and a comfortable close fit.
• The higher neckline and wider straps make it substantial enough to wear completely on its own.
• Slim enough to tuck neatly into jeans and trousers without bunching.
• Brilliant underneath oversized shirts, cardigans, bombers and blazers.
• White works with everything. Groundbreaking information, we know.
• You’ll probably wonder why you didn’t buy two.

How to wear the Alexo Tank

Blue jeans, white Alexo, brown belt and loafers. Sometimes the obvious answer is the right one.

We’d also wear it underneath an oversized blue striped shirt, leaving the shirt open with the sleeves pushed up. Or tuck it into wide-leg grey trousers and add an oversized blazer for something cleaner.

And when a fabulous jacket is doing all the talking? Put the Alexo underneath and leave it alone.

How do you make a white vest look polished rather than basic? Good trousers, a belt, proper shoes and simple jewellery. The vest doesn’t need to be complicated — that’s its entire job.

Fit & measurement

The Alexo is designed for a slim, body-skimming fit with plenty of stretch. Stay close to your usual size for the intended fitted silhouette, or size up if you prefer a little more room.

The model is 179cm / approximately 5’10½” and wears a size S.
