T-shirts

Women's t-shirts

A good tee is the quiet workhorse of the week. Forcast t-shirts are cut for women who wear them under a blazer on Monday and with jeans on Saturday, in sizes 4 to 18. The range runs from cotton crew necks and scoop neck rib tees to V-necks, a linen tee and a satin tee that passes for a blouse.

Picking the right tee

For work, choose a fitted or straight-cut tee in a plain colour. The May Relaxed Cotton T-shirt and the Sara Cotton Tee are the everyday cotton options, while the Lili V Modal Tee drapes closer to the body. The Cameron Satin Tee has the shape of a t-shirt with the finish of a blouse, which makes it the one to wear to dinner. For cooler days, the long sleeve and rib styles layer under knits and jackets.

How to wear a tee to the office

Tuck a plain tee into high-waisted work pants, add a belt and a blazer, and you have a complete business casual outfit. A rib tee under a tailored vest works the same way. Keep the cut clean, the colour solid and the neckline simple, and a t-shirt sits comfortably next to a suit.

Fabric and fit

Most of the range is cotton or jersey, with rib knits for the fitted styles, linen for summer and satin for the dressier tee. Relaxed tees are roomier through the body than the rib styles, so think about how you want it to sit before choosing a size. Measurements are on the size guide.

How to shop it

Buy the plain cotton tees in the colours you wear most, then add one satin or linen style for warmer evenings. On the weekend the same tee goes with denim, linen pants or a midi skirt. For more options above the waist, see the full tops range.
