Seam Detail Long Sleeve Tee

A plain long sleeve top is useful but forgettable. This one earns its place with seaming, run across the body so the lines themselves become the design. There is no print and no hardware and nothing else going on, which is precisely why the seams read as clearly as they do. It is a quiet piece with a bit of architecture in it.

The fabric is 100% polyester and slightly stretchy, so it follows the body closely without gripping, and the seams stay where they are meant to instead of twisting after a wash. Top length is 23.6 inches in a small, 24 inches in a medium and 24.4 inches in a large, with the bust running from 29.9 through 33.1 inches. That puts the hem right around the hip on most people, which is the length that works tucked or left out without looking undecided.

Apricot and black are the two options and they do very different jobs. Black makes it a foundation piece you can build almost anything on top of, and apricot gives you a warm neutral that flatters against a tan and looks considered next to denim. Wear it tucked into high rise jeans with a belt to show the waist, layer it under a blazer for work, or pair it with a slip skirt when you want the contrast of something structured against something fluid.
