Women's T-shirts and tank tops, round neck or V-neck

Round neck or V-neck: which t-shirt to choose?

A women's t-shirt with a round neck is the most versatile: it can be worn alone, under an open shirt or under a blazer, and suits almost all body types. It looks more polished in thick knit with a well-structured collar that doesn't lose its shape in the wash.

The V-neck t-shirt enhances the neck, elongates the torso and shows off a necklace. It balances a generous bust or broad shoulders, and can be easily worn under a cardigan or an open jacket.

Short sleeves, long sleeves or tank top?

The short-sleeved t-shirt is the basic for warm weather. The long-sleeved t-shirt takes over in mid-season, worn alone or under an open shirt, and serves as a base layer under a jumper in winter.

The women's tank top, sleeveless, is ideal by itself in hot weather or worn under a shirt, cardigan or light jacket. With thin straps, it looks more dressed up; with wider straps and ribbed fabric, it keeps a sporty look.

What material for a lasting t-shirt?

A thick cotton t-shirt holds its shape and colour longer than a fine jersey: check the weight when indicated by the brand, or feel it, which shouldn't be transparent. In organic cotton, the softness is the same, made from fibres grown without synthetic pesticides.

Modal and viscose give a more fluid and softer t-shirt that drapes better on the body but wrinkles and pills more easily. A bit of elastane helps the fitted t-shirt maintain its shape.

Oversized or fitted: what cut to choose?

An oversized t-shirt, with dropped shoulders and a longer fit, gives a relaxed look: it pairs well with fitted bottoms, leggings, skinny jeans or cycling shorts, or can be half-tucked into straight jeans.

A fitted t-shirt can easily be tucked into high-waisted trousers or a skirt and layers without bulk under a jacket. The cropped t-shirt, which stops at the waist, goes well with high-waisted bottoms.

How to wear a t-shirt in a chic way?

For a chic outfit, choose a plain t-shirt, white, black or navy, in thick cotton, and tuck it into a women's tailored trouser or a midi skirt. A blazer, selected from the jackets and coats, finishes off the look.

A printed or striped t-shirt becomes the statement piece of a simple outfit, paired with jeans and sneakers. Avoid relaxed collars and overly thin cottons for office wear.

Frequently asked questions

How to prevent a t-shirt from shrinking in the wash?

Wash it at 30 °C, inside out, and let it air dry: the heat from the tumble dryer is the main cause of shrinkage in cotton. Pre-washed cotton or a blend with a synthetic fibre shrinks much less.

How to keep a white t-shirt looking bright?

Wash white t-shirts together, without colours, with a detergent for whites, and add sodium percarbonate to brighten the colour. Avoid bleach, which yellows cotton over time, and treat stains with baking soda before washing.

What size t-shirt to take for an oversized effect?

On a classic model, take one or two sizes up, checking that the neckline doesn't become too wide. An oversized t-shirt can be taken in your usual size: its looseness is already planned.

Can you wear a t-shirt during pregnancy?

Yes, a long and stretchy t-shirt, in cotton blended with a bit of elastane, will accommodate a growing belly. A maternity t-shirt adds length and gathers at the sides to cover the belly right to the end.

How to store t-shirts to avoid creases?

Roll them or store them vertically in a drawer, rather than stacking them: they wrinkle less and are all visible at a glance. Avoid hanging fine knit t-shirts on a hanger, as it distorts the shoulders.
