Essentiel Antwerp Klaim Tee Shirt with Chain in Blue

A T-shirt that’s already put its jewellery on. One less thing for us to think about in the morning.

The Essentiel Antwerp Klaim Tee Shirt with Chain in Blue is a women’s light blue organic-cotton T-shirt with a relaxed silhouette, slightly dropped shoulders and a statement chain detail tracing the neckline. A zip fastening and neat double stitching give the classic tee a more polished finish, while the chain does what Essentiel Antwerp does best—takes something very wearable and makes it considerably less ordinary.

At BWD, we’re big fans of pieces that do the accessorising for you. Especially when they still work with half the wardrobe.

Why it made the cut

• The built-in statement chain neckline makes a simple T-shirt feel instantly dressed.
• Light blue looks fabulous with denim, white, cream, grey, navy and chocolate brown.
• It’s made from 100% organic cotton, so underneath the jewellery it’s still a really useful cotton tee.
• Slightly dropped shoulders give it a relaxed, contemporary shape.
• The zip fastening adds another unexpected little detail.
• It takes jeans and a T-shirt from “I’ve just put jeans and a T-shirt on” to something considerably more convincing.

How to wear the Klaim Tee Shirt

We’d start with dark or washed-blue denim and let the different shades of blue work together. Add loafers or trainers and a black or chocolate bag.

For something smarter, wear it with wide-leg cream or white trousers—the pale blue against white feels particularly fresh—or tuck it loosely into charcoal tailoring and add a blazer.

What colours go with a light blue T-shirt? White and cream keep it fresh; grey and navy make it smarter; denim gives you an easy tonal look; and chocolate brown is particularly good if you want something less predictable.

As for a necklace?

It’s already wearing one. Put yours back in the jewellery box.

Fit & actual product measurements

The Klaim has a relaxed silhouette with slightly dropped shoulders, rather than a close-fitting T-shirt shape.

Essentiel Antwerp UK size conversion

A BWD note on Essentiel sizing: Essentiel Antwerp is known for its relaxed and oversized silhouettes, so don’t get too hung up on the number on the label. In some of its deliberately oversized pieces, a nominal UK 4 can comfortably work on someone who would usually wear a UK 8. The Klaim is designed to be relaxed rather than fitted, so there’s room to play with sizing depending on how you want it to sit.

Care
