Jeans and t-shirt. What can I say? It is almost all I wear. My uniform, if you will.

There are about a million variations to this very simple uniform: the style of jeans, the kind of shoes or boots, the blazer or coat, the bag.. It’s endless, and quite fabulous.

I have spent a good number of years trying to find the perfect t-shirt. Many of you can relate, I know.

Let me dedicate this blog to the perfect t-shirt. Firstly, and most important, is the material. The t-shirt should have some hang to it.

Kain has it down.

It is a silk-cotton-something blend that is brilliant, except that it’s quite shear. Which means you either have the right bra or a camisole, which makes is a high maintenance t-shirt, which is annoying. Of course, I have a few and wear them all the time.

Alexander Wang broke into mainstream fashion with his t-shirt.

Initially, I was thrilled, but they pill. Not worth it.

Secondly, it’s the cut. V-necks or scoop-necks are particularly flattering, and the sleeves can’t be too long.

J.Crew has nicely cut t-shirts, good neckline and slim fit.

The perfect t-shirt?

I haven’t met a client yet who doesn’t look great in these t-shirts.

I should also mention that both Club Monaco and BCBG have copied the Alexander Wang style of a t-shirt, and have done a fabulous job of it. Definitely worth it.
