Wrenley is a knit tank full of options. The thick straps create a flattering square front neckline. Choose from a full back or tie back option. Add a cute ruffle to either strap option. You can finish the bodice with a shelf bra or lining. The full back option has a square back neckline. The tie back has a curved back casing that the straps thread through and then tie, making the straps adjustable. You can have the straps straight or criss-crossed on the tie back option. Choose from a simple hemmed crop or top. Or choose a 1/2 circle skirt or romper. The 1/2 circle has 5 hemline options: peplum, mini, dress, midi, or maxi lengths. The gathered romper has 6 inseam options to choose from: shorts (3” or 4.5”), cropped (23”), or pants (28”, 30”, or 32”). Both skirt and romper have optional pockets. Wrenley is your new go to! Perfect as a closet staple in a basic top to wear on its own or to layer. Wear the romper or skirted options every day, for vacations, family photos, or up for any special occasions.
