Basic T-shirt

Basic T-shirt in Black from TEESHOPPEN

There’s a reason why the black T-shirt is always at the top of the drawer. It makes no demands on you. No need to think about what it goes with, no risk of it looking out of place. TEESHOPPEN’s Basic T-shirt in black is made from 100% cotton with a regular fit – the same cut as the white one, just without the compromises that a light colour always brings.

Here’s how it’s cut

• Colour: Black
• Material: 100% cotton
• Fit: Regular fit
• Sizes: XS to XXL
• Neckline: Round

Black solves a problem that white can’t

A white T-shirt means you have to think about what you might spill coffee or sauce on. A black one doesn’t. It hides stains, it hides sweat after a hot day, and it looks just as fresh after ten hours as it did at lunchtime. It’s not because it’s better made; it’s simply because dark colours show less. That’s why most people end up with more black than white basics in their wardrobe, even if they started out with the opposite.

Regular fit – no more, no less

The cut is neither tight like a muscle fit nor loose like an oversized style. The sleeves end halfway down the upper arm, and the T-shirt follows the body’s shape without clinging to it. This makes it just as suitable under an open shirt as it is on its own with a pair of jeans. It doesn’t overpower the outfit; it simply fits.

How to wear it

• For everyday wear: on its own with dark jeans and trainers
• Layered: under a cardigan or a hoodie, without the colours clashing
• In the evening: with a belt and a light jacket if you’re heading out after work

If you’d prefer the freshness of a light colour in your wardrobe, the same cut is also available in our white Basic T-shirt. Most people end up owning both.
