The piece

How to choose and wear a t-shirt

The simplest top there is, and the base layer of most casual outfits. A plain, well-fitting tee in a neutral colour makes jeans, chinos, skirts and blazers all look intentional.

How to choose

  • Heavier cotton (around 180–220 gsm) drapes better and doesn't show everything underneath.
  • A crew neck that sits close to the base of the neck; stretched, wavy necklines age it fast.
  • White, black, grey and navy before any colour or print.

How t-shirt should fit

Shoulder seams on the shoulder bone, sleeves ending mid-bicep, hem just covering the belt.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Big graphics or logos under a blazer.
  • ✕A tee so long it covers the pockets.
  • ✕White tees worn past the point of yellowing at the collar.

Care: Wash cold, dry flat or on a hanger; heat shrinks cotton and warps the collar.

In a capsule: The most-repeated piece in any capsule: two or three in neutrals carry dozens of outfits.
