Women's long-sleeve T-shirts, thin or thick
The women's long-sleeve t-shirt bridges the gap between summer and winter: thinner for layering under a sweater, thicker for wearing alone in the mid-season, available in plain, striped, or high-neck styles. Among the brands available are: b.young, Armedangels, Colorful Standard, and Only.
A white long-sleeve t-shirt serves as a base layer under a V-neck sweater or an open shirt.
Why choose a long-sleeved t-shirt?
The women's long-sleeve t-shirt is perfect for mid-season wear on its own, and in winter as a base layer: it stops a wool sweater from itching and keeps warmth without bulk. It's the most useful piece for layering.
Thin or thick long-sleeve t-shirt?
A thin t-shirt, made of cotton or modal jersey, slips under a jumper or shirt. A thick t-shirt, made of heavy or ribbed cotton, can be worn on its own, with a jacket. The ribbed t-shirt hugs the body and elongates the silhouette.
How to wear a long-sleeved t-shirt?
Under a V-neck jumper or cardigan, from the jumpers and sweats, it adds a layer. Under a jacket, from the jackets and coats, it replaces a shirt. A striped t-shirt can be worn alone with jeans.
What material to choose?
Cotton remains the most comfortable; organic cotton offers the same softness with a cultivation free from synthetic pesticides. Modal and viscose are more fluid and softer. A fine merino wool keeps you warm for sports or in extreme cold.
What size to choose?
For layering, choose a fitted t-shirt that doesn't bunch under the jumper. Check the length of the sleeves: they should cover the wrist without bunching up.

Frequently asked questions
Long-sleeve t-shirt or under-sweater: what's the difference?
The under-sweater, often with a roll neck and very fitted, is made to be worn underneath. The long-sleeve t-shirt, being looser, can also be worn on its own.
How to prevent sleeves from losing their shape?
Don't roll up the sleeves by pulling on them and dry the t-shirt flat. A ribbed cuff holds better.
What t-shirt under a scratchy sweater?
A thin t-shirt made of cotton or modal, fitted, with a round or V-neck depending on the sweater. Cotton protects sensitive skin.
Does a long-sleeve t-shirt keep you warm?
On its own, it suits mid-season wear. As a base layer, under a sweater, it adds warmth without bulk.
How to wear a long-sleeve t-shirt at the office?
Plain, thick cotton, under a blazer or a cardigan, with straight trousers. A high collar looks more polished than a round neck.
