Every great wardrobe starts with a brilliant black T-shirt. The Ateljé Racer Short Sleeve Tee in Black is exactly the kind of piece we love finding. Effortlessly cool, beautifully cut and made to be worn on repeat, it’s proof that the simplest clothes are often the hardest to perfect. The racer-inspired silhouette gives this classic black tee a more modern feel, creating a flattering shape that’s relaxed without looking oversized. It’s the sort of piece you’ll reach for when you want getting dressed to feel easy—but still look like you’ve made an effort. Because great style is rarely complicated. Why it made the cut The racer-inspired shape gives a classic black tee a fresh, contemporary feel. The timeless black colour works with absolutely everything already hanging in your wardrobe. Soft, comfortable and designed for everyday wear. It’s the kind of elevated basic that quietly becomes indispensable. We always look for pieces that work hard without demanding attention—and this is one of them. How we’d wear it… Half-tucked into lived-in denim with a great belt and trainers for everyday, paired with tailored trousers and a blazer when you want to keep things relaxed but polished, or worn with a flowing skirt and sandals on holiday. We’d keep the jewellery simple and let the effortless silhouette do the talking. Care Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colours. Reshape while damp and air dry naturally to help maintain the fit and softness. Avoid tumble drying where possible and always follow the care label instructions. We’ve learnt that the pieces you wear the most are rarely the most complicated. They’re the ones that simply get everything right. This is one of them.
