Boat Neck Short Sleeve Tee

A boat neck changes a plain tee more than you would expect. The wide neckline sits out across the collarbones instead of choking the throat, which lengthens the neck and makes even the simplest outfit look a little more deliberate. Sable have kept the rest of this one clean and added a tie detail, so there is something to look at without anything to fuss over. Short sleeves, easy shape, the kind of top that quietly earns its place in a drawer.

The fabric is 100% polyester and it is slightly stretchy, which means it gives when you move and holds its shape when you stop. It comes in three colours, apricot, brown and black, so you can pick the one that suits the rest of your wardrobe or take all three and stop thinking about it. Sizes run S through L. Top length measures 19.3 inches at a size S through to 20.1 inches at a size L, and bust runs 34.6 to 36.2 inches at a size S, 36.2 to 37.8 inches at a size M and 37.8 to 39.4 inches at a size L. The full table sits at the bottom of this page.

Because the length is on the shorter side, it sits naturally with high waisted jeans, trousers or a midi skirt without needing to be tucked. The boat neck gives you somewhere to put a necklace, so a short chain or a pendant will land exactly where it should. In black it goes anywhere. In apricot or brown it warms up neutral separates and looks especially good against cream and tan. Layer it under an open shirt or a light jacket when the temperature drops and it works just as well as a base as it does on its own.
