Ribbed Knit Tee in Cottage Blue

A tee stops being a basic when the fabric is right. This one is ribbed knit in Cottage Blue, and it is the kind of piece that gets worn until the season changes and then gets worn again.

The rib runs through a soft, stretchy knit that moves with you instead of holding you still. A round neck sits close without pressing, and cap sleeves keep the shoulder line clean. The silhouette is relaxed through the body, cut so the front can be tucked in just a little, which is how it was meant to be worn, though nobody will stop you wearing it as is.

That half-tuck is what makes it work with everything. Put it with barrel-leg trousers and it reads considered; put it with jeans and it reads easy. It layers under a jacket without bunching at the waist, and on its own it is enough for a warm afternoon. Style it all year long, because the weight suits both ends of the calendar.
