I jut bought a cardigan from Uniqlo in Tokyo and I want to wear it with some APC Rescues, what the hell do you wear under a cardigan? A tee looks kind of sloppy. Advice?
thanks...

White or gray heather v-neck tees are my usual choices. American Apparel and J. Crew have the best IMO.

I like how the pennsy cardigan looks over the jean jacket in the Engineered Garments lookbook, but I reckon you need a large cardigan and small jean jacket for that to work.

Keep it simple, a nice tee or button-up will do.

If you're doing the young hipster thing with the cardigan being really slim and fitted then something like a stripped v-neck tee will do fine.

The fact that it's a cardigan is unique enough, no need to throw in anything too busy.
