The Perfect Tee Methodology
6 March 2026
Words by: Caitlin Eckley. Design by: Melanie Makariou
You wouldn’t believe how much thought and craftsmanship go into creating the perfect tee, but as masters of the silhouette, we can assure you that it’s a lot. From achieving the perfect balance of looking polished whilst feeling laid-back, to figuring out the ideal length to align with your pants waistlines down to the millimetre. Every single tee is created with a specific end use in mind, so we’re letting you in on the design secrets by zooming in on the details and taking you through the why, how, and wear of each style.
THE OVERSIZED TEE

Why?
When you’re craving comfort with a side of polish, the solution needs to be effortless. Enter our Oversized Tee.
How?
It’s just the right length to be left untucked without hanging too low, whilst being long enough for the option of a bulk-free tuck. It’s framed by dropped shoulders for a cool yet composed slouchy edge.
Wear With?
It’s the ultimate off-duty hero for days when you don’t want to think about what to wear, aka, it’s perfect with your favourite pair of jeans.
THE RELAXED TEE

Why?
This is the solution to making tailoring an all-occasion contender. We Brits know a thing or two about what makes a great suit, and that includes the right layer to wear under it. Which is where the Relaxed Tee comes in, as the ultimate way to bring a modern edge to suiting.
How?
Crafted from organic cotton jersey, it features sleeves cut to a shorter length to fit comfortably under blazers, and the seams are set at the right angle to slot seamlessly under padded shoulders for the ultimate bulk-free finish.
Wear With?
This white tee’s signature pairing is precision tailoring (extra points if it’s a full suit).
THE CROP TEE

Why?
When we say cropped, we don’t mean the micro lengths of the 1990s; instead, it’s more about considering silhouette and proportion. That’s the secret behind our Relaxed Crop Tee.
How?
We put extra thought into the fabric. Instead of a classic lightweight jersey, we chose cotton sweatshirting with a weightier feel that keeps its shape and provides just the right amount of warmth. The shorter hem cut is the perfect length for seamless alignment with higher pants waistbands, and the longer sleeves give a contemporary look whilst balancing the shorter length.
Wear With?
It’s a good solution for those days when it isn’t quite T-shirt weather, but you need something easy and effortless to wear under jackets or tailoring. It pairs particularly well with high-waisted trousers thanks to the cropped hem.
THE RAGLAN TEE

Why?
One of our relaxed luxury signatures: adding an unexpected sporty twist, like a side stripe or a polo collar. In this instance, it's stripes + raglan sleeves.
How?
We’ve deliberately chosen an ultra-soft cotton and hemp-blend washed jersey fabric for this style, since it gives a lived-in feel from day one. The longer sleeves and raglan seams promote ease of movement for when you’re on the go.
Wear With?
Bring out the Cinnamon-hued stripe by pairing it with our color-matched separates.
THE FEMININE SLEEVE TEE

Why?
We wanted to combine the ease of a T-shirt with the lifted look of a blouse, resulting in our Feminine Sleeve Tee.
How?
A voluminous sleeve sets this style apart from its casual counterparts and gives it an adaptable AM-PM edge.
Wear With?
Crafted in both crew and V-neck designs, either is ideal for wearing under a knitted vest. That means a neat layered fit through the bodice, while keeping the statement sleeves on show.
THE FITTED TEE

Why?
To master layering, your base needs a barely-there finish. Which is where the Fitted Tee shines.
How?
The fitted, ribbed silhouette means it slots seamlessly under blazers and jackets and can be tucked into pants with ease. This is achieved by the cotton-rib jersey it’s made of. It’s non-restrictive and is framed by short sleeves for proportionate coverage of the arms.
Wear With?
Aside from as your base under near enough anything, texture clashing is the key to granting this everyday staple eveningwear appeal. Look to our Luxe Utility Jacket for a mixed-media finish, or Heritage Crop Jacket for a British Tweed edge.
THE STRAIGHT TEE

Why?
As the authority on confident color, our tee edit wouldn’t be complete without a dose of dopamine, this time in the form of our Straight Tee.
How?
The straight nonchalant silhouette means it’s the kind of tee you’ll reach for on repeat, equally adaptable to smart and off-duty looks. Because we’re so confident this will be a hard worker in your wardrobe, we’re delivering it in a choice of colors and necklines.
Wear With?
The combination of bright shade and easy-wearing silhouette means it works to dress down a fitted jacket/blazer or elevate a casual jeans-and-a-tee look, depending on the role you need it to play.
