T-shirts

Women's t-shirts that can be worn to work

A good tee is the quiet workhorse of the week. Forcast t-shirts are cut for women who wear them under blazers 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. They are basics, but they are not throwaway ones.

Picking the right tee

For work, choose a fitted or straight-cut tee in a plain colour. The May Relaxed Cotton T-shirt and Sara Cotton Tee are the everyday cotton options; the Lili V Modal Tee and Hanna Scoop Modal Tee are softer and drape 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 Wyatt Long Sleeve Tee and Devon Long Sleeve Rib Tee layer under knits and jackets. The Amy Cropped Baby Tee is the shortest and most casual in the range.

How to wear a tee to the office

Tuck a plain tee into high-waisted work pants and add a belt and a blazer. That is 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. On the weekend, the same tee goes with denim, linen pants or a midi skirt.

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 run roomy through the body; rib and scoop neck styles are closer fitting. If you like a tee to skim rather than cling, size up on the fitted styles or check the size guide.
