Lara Bodysuit | Marcella

Second-skin fit with a considered edge. The Lara Bodysuit is a black sheer long sleeve bodysuit built on two European jersey fabrics that work in opposition: an opaque, body-skimming lower half and a sheer jersey bodice that creates a clean V-neckline illusion without a single button or tie. Visible seaming at the fabric boundary and extra-long sleeves give her a quietly architectural finish that reads as intentional, not incidental. She is a fitted long sleeve bodysuit with high-stretch construction throughout, so she moves with you from a morning meeting to an evening out without losing her silhouette. The snap button closure at the base makes her as practical as she is precise. Wear her tucked into wide-leg trousers for a day-to-night minimalist look, or let her anchor a leather skirt for a night out in the city. Lara is one of those minimalist capsule wardrobe staples that reads differently depending on what surrounds her. She works as a black dressy top layered under a blazer for the office, as a sheer going-out bodysuit worn alone for cocktail occasions, and as a seasonless base layer that holds her structure year-round. Her dual-fabric construction, part Tencel jersey, part sheer European jersey, is the detail that separates her from standard fitted tops. Designed in NYC. Handcrafted in Europe.
