Thin base layers for under wool and cashmere

[eurochick]

Where do you get yours? I don't want to add bulk but need something between my skin and wool/cashmere.

Finisterre merino thermals

Second uniqlo heattech though I don't wear wool, but they make an awesome base layer.

I need sleeves. I find wool too itchy to have it against bare skin.

John Lewis do a very similar range to Uniqlo - I find them warmer/nicer fit. Both do long-sleeved as well as vest type tops.

I stocked up on these from Hush, they're not thermal but they're incredibly soft and comfortable without adding any bulk.

Uniqlo heattech here too. I have loads of their tops, long sleeve and short sleeve. Some I've had for years, they wash and wear really well and come in loads of colours.

I tend to buy a few more each year. They are very reasonably priced and they have offers from time to time.

Uniqlo heatech again...can't beat them

Agree with PP, I wear a heattech every single day. Even in summer :/ I think I need to wean myself off or something...

I find Uniqlo Heatech very warm, really too warm unless I'm outside and it's close to freezing, but I'm a very hot person. I have quite a few Lands' End and American Apparel long-sleeved cotton t-shirts, although even they are a bit warm and I often just wear American Apparel skinny rib vests which come in a load of colours and are good under slightly see-through tops.

That's close to unanimous - thanks!

Primark long-sleeved cotton/lycra scoop-neck - 3.50 - when times are too hot/menopausal for heattech.
