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.
Straight or slightly boxy cuts tuck neatly; a cropped boxy tee suits high-waisted bottoms.
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.
