A Wardrobe Staple: The Long Sleeve Tee

{ Via: Sold Out New York }

I think we all want to hang unto summer as long as we can. But here in The Hudson Valley, we have needed long sleeves all week.  With one month to go until fall is official, these shirts can be worn now and layered for the next season.  Though these are wardrobe staples, each one offers something special like, fabric content, color, pattern, or details like covered buttons.

The Perfect Tee

Designed with a classic cut and crew neck on 100% Organic Peruvian cotton. Also available in black and navy. You don't see navy often! $98

Sold Out NYC

The Jada Cotton Tee

Added to this mix because of the very chic color. It's called Plum Purple. The fabric is stretchy for comfort and a close fit. $80

Reiss

The Felix Tee In Rama Print

A long sleeve organic cotton Tee Shirt that's different from the rest. I love the three covered buttons on each sleeve. The Rama print is perfect for denim.
