I love this tee because it’s so versatile! It is super easy to create, with two identical pieces which are sewn together at the shoulders and sides.
It rarely gets very warm here in the North West of England, so although it has a light, airy finish (read a bit breezy on cooler days!) I added a half sleeve to add a bit of warmth and to protect those shoulders from the sun – plus there are lots of us out there who aren’t too happy with upper arms!
In the colder months (of which there are generally around nine here in NW England!), it works really well with a polo neck underneath too.
