Samsoe Samsoe Alexa Long Sleeve Tee in White

The white long-sleeved tee. Not the exciting purchase. Possibly the one that makes the most outfits work.

The Samsøe Samsøe Alexa Long Sleeve Tee in White is a women’s slim-fit long-sleeved T-shirt made from soft organic cotton jersey with added stretch. A neat round neckline and longer body make it a brilliant layering piece, while the close fit means it sits beautifully underneath knitwear, shirts, blazers and jackets without adding bulk.

At BWD, we’re big believers in wardrobe foundations. You need the quiet pieces to make the fabulous pieces work. The Alexa is very much one of those.

Why it made the cut

• The slim silhouette makes it a particularly useful layering tee.
• 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane gives you softness with enough stretch to keep the shape comfortable.
• The longer body means it tucks neatly into trousers and jeans.
• White works underneath virtually every jacket, cardigan and knit on the BWD rails.
• Wear it alone now, layer it later — this one works all year.
• It’s part of Samsøe Samsøe’s core collection for good reason.

How to wear the Alexa Tee

Underneath an oversized blazer is an obvious place to start. Add blue barrel-leg denim, loafers and a belt and you have one of those outfits that always works.

We also love it underneath a crew-neck knit with a little white showing at the neck and cuffs. Or use it beneath an oversized shirt or cardigan when you want another layer without adding bulk.

What is the best top to layer under jumpers and jackets? Something exactly like this: slim, soft, stretchy and uncomplicated. The Alexa disappears underneath everything while that flash of white makes the layers on top look better.

It’s basically wardrobe admin.

Very good wardrobe admin.

Fit & actual product measurements

The Alexa is deliberately slim and body-skimming, rather than relaxed. Samsøe Samsøe describes it as creating a slimmer silhouette and recommends it both for layering and wearing alone.

We’d stay close to your normal size for the intended fitted silhouette, or size up if you prefer your long-sleeved tees with a little more room.
