How to Choose the Perfect Women’s T‑Shirt
A truly great t-shirt is a wardrobe staple—comfortable, flattering, sustainable, and designed to last. Here’s how to choose a women’s t-shirt you’ll love to wear every day.
1.
Fabric Matters: Choose Quality You Can Feel
Not all t-shirts are created equal. The perfect t-shirt starts with the perfect fabric:
Supima Cotton: Renowned for its strength and softness, Supima cotton feels luxurious against the skin and holds its shape wash after wash.
TENCEL™ Modal: Smooth, breathable, and made from renewable wood sources, modal is celebrated for its silky touch and eco-friendly credentials.
Linen: Lightweight and naturally cool, linen is ideal for summer days and those who love a relaxed, effortless look.
Why does fabric matter?
High-quality fibres not only feel better but also last longer, resist fading, and maintain their softness over time. Avoid thin, see-through materials and look for tees with a little weight and substance.
2.
Find Your Flattering Fit
A perfect t-shirt should make you feel confident, whatever your style. Think about:
Cut: Do you prefer a tailored silhouette, a straight cut, or something more relaxed? A classic fitted tee works well tucked into skirts or jeans, while a straight or relaxed fit offers easy comfort.
Neckline:
- Crew neck is timeless and flattering for most.
- V-neck elongates the neck and can create a slimming effect.
- Scoop and boat necks offer a softer, feminine shape.
Sleeve Length: Choose from sleeveless, short, half, 3/4 or long sleeves depending on season and style preference.
Tip: If you’re unsure, check our Size Guide or try our T-shirt Quiz to find your ideal shape.
3.
Construction & Details: What to Look For
It’s the details that elevate a t-shirt from basic to exceptional:
Stitching: Look for neat seams and reinforced hems. Double stitching means added durability.
Colour: Premium dyes hold their colour—no fading or pilling after a few washes.
No Twist: High-quality tees won’t twist or stretch out of shape.
Lavender Hill tees are designed to last, season after season.
4.
Ethics & Sustainability: Feel-Good Fashion
Your t-shirt should do good, not just look good.
Sustainable Materials: Our t-shirts are crafted from renewable, biodegradable fibres.
Ethical Production: We partner only with trusted factories in the UK and Europe, ensuring fair pay and safe working conditions.
Certifications: Many of our fabrics are OEKO-TEX® and GOTS certified, free from harmful chemicals.
5.
Care & Longevity: Make It Last
A truly perfect t-shirt gets better with age—if you care for it well.
Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours.
Drying: Hang or lay flat to dry. Avoid the tumble dryer to preserve softness and fit.
Storage: Fold gently to prevent stretching.
Our customers often tell us their Lavender Hill tees look new even after years of wear.
6.
Cost Per Wear: Value That Endures
It’s tempting to buy cheap, but investing in quality means you’ll wear your tee again and again. A well-made t-shirt costs less per wear and reduces waste—good for your wardrobe, your wallet, and the planet.

Styling Tips: Your Tee, Your Way
- Pair a fitted crew neck with a blazer for smart-casual days.
- Dress down with relaxed jeans and trainers for off-duty comfort.
- Layer under cardigans, dungarees, or summer dresses.
