Essentiel Antwerp Klaim Tee Shirt with Chain in Off White

The white T-shirt has put its jewellery on. Frankly, that’s one less job for us.

The Essentiel Antwerp Klaim Tee Shirt with Chain in Off White is a women’s off-white organic cotton T-shirt with a relaxed silhouette, slightly dropped shoulders and a bold silver-tone chain tracing the neckline. Finished with a discreet zip fastening and clean double stitching, it takes the most useful item in your wardrobe and makes it feel considerably more interesting.

Made from 100% organic cotton, it’s still fundamentally an easy everyday tee—just one that has absolutely no intention of being basic.

At BWD, this is exactly what we want from a new purchase: something that works with the clothes you already own but makes them feel new again.

Why it made the cut

• The statement chain neckline means jewellery is essentially taken care of.
• Off white is softer than brilliant white and looks particularly good with denim, brown, grey and black.
• Slightly dropped shoulders give it a relaxed, contemporary silhouette rather than a traditional fitted tee.
• 100% organic cotton keeps it wearable enough for everyday.
• It works brilliantly underneath blazers and jackets but has enough going on to wear completely on its own.
• Jeans + Klaim + loafers = considerably more outfit than the effort involved would suggest.

How to wear the Klaim Tee Shirt

We’d start with relaxed blue denim and loafers. Simple trousers or jeans are particularly good here because that fabulous neckline gets to be the focus.

For something smarter, tuck it into the Essentiel Antwerp Kollection Wide Legged Trousers in Steel Pulse Grey and add a blazer. Or wear it with chocolate-brown trousers—the off white and brown combination feels expensive without trying terribly hard.

It would also be brilliant underneath the Kugar Contrast Cardigan in Brown. Leave the cardigan slightly open so the chain detail still gets its moment.

How do you make a white T-shirt look more dressed up? Usually we’d say add jewellery and a great jacket. Essentiel has helpfully attached the jewellery already, so you’re halfway there.

Efficiency. We approve.

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 relaxed rather than dramatically oversized, so we’d stay closer to your normal size unless you’d prefer a neater fit.
