What to wear under fine knit jumpers?

I've seen some fine knit jumpers I like in the sale but what do you wear under them, vest, vest top? Look a bit thin and not very warm to just wear on it's own but then would a vest top underneath spoil the look of it?

I wear a vest or a long sleeve top depending on the temperature. I don't think thin knit jumpers look nice with just a bra underneath so I would always wear something under one.

Thanks Dexter. Where do you get the long sleeved tops from as I guess they need to be quite thin to go under the thin jumper? Do you wear the same colour top as jumper?

uniqlo heat tech tops are thin and great for layering.

If you want warmth - merino is your friend. Finisterre does a good selection. Pricey but I wear mine till they die.

Silk vests from Land's End. Literally silky smooth.

I bought a fine knit shortish in length merino jumper in cos online and a thin cotton long length shirt to wear under it.

Uniqlo is good but I also recently got a tight-fitting 3/4 sleeve and very long top from Dunnes Stores, which is great. They have it in a few colours too.

Long sleeved tops, heattach tops and vests/camisoles - it depends on the weather.

I use contrasting colours as well as matching colours.

mmmm.... I have just checked online and I cannot see the top I got from Dunnes so it looks as if they no longer have it. Shame as it is great...
