Women's Long Sleeve T-Shirts
Our Long Sleeve page brings together our tips for choosing a long sleeve t-shirt: plain cotton basics, striped shirts, ribbed t-shirts, round neck, V-neck or high neck, fitted or loose fit, to wear alone in the mid-season or as a layer under a jumper or jacket.
The essential for cooler seasons.
The basic mid-season piece
The long-sleeved t-shirt is the ultimate transitional item: worn alone in spring and autumn, it becomes a light base layer under a jumper, cardigan or jacket when the chill sets in. It can be paired with jeans, a skirt or smart trousers, tucked into the waistband or left loose. Simple, it comes in a thousand variations depending on its neckline, cut and material.
Other tops
T-shirts and tank tops are also available in:
All the tops are gathered on the t-shirts and tank tops page.
Necklines, cuts and patterns
The round neckline, classic, suits all body shapes; the V-neck elongates the neck and reveals the décolletage; the high collar, or funnel neck, protects against the cold and can be worn under a jacket. The fitted cut slides easily under a jumper, while the loose or oversized cut can be worn alone for a casual look. The sailor top, with its navy blue and white horizontal stripes inspired by the outfits of Breton sailors, is a staple of French style.
Materials
Cotton, soft and breathable, is perfect for everyday wear; organic cotton, grown without synthetic pesticides, is a more responsible alternative. The ribbed knit, with fine vertical ridges, hugs the body and structures the silhouette. The viscose jersey, fluid, drapes elegantly, and blends with elastane maintain their shape. Wash t-shirts at thirty degrees, inside out, and dry them flat to avoid deformation.

Frequently asked questions
What material should I choose for a long-sleeved t-shirt?
Cotton is soft and breathable, ideal for everyday use. Organic cotton or modal offers a more fluid touch, while ribbed knit provides support and a more dressed-up style.
How to wear a long-sleeved t-shirt as a base layer?
Choose a fitted cut and a fine knit that doesn't create bulk under a jumper or cardigan. A discreet round neck or high collar looks nice peeking out from the neckline.
How to prevent a cotton t-shirt from shrinking?
Wash it at thirty degrees and avoid the tumble dryer, which is mainly responsible for shrinkage. Dry it flat or on a hanger to keep its shape and the length of the sleeves.
Round neck, V-neck or high collar: what to choose?
The round neck is the most versatile, the V-neck elongates the neck and highlights a necklace, while the high collar provides warmth and elegance under a jacket. Choose based on your layering.
How to fold a long-sleeved t-shirt?
Lay it flat, face down on the table, fold the sleeves diagonally over the back, then fold the sides towards the centre and the bottom upwards. When stored this way, it won’t leave creases on the front.
