Georgia Tee in Lightweight Linen

Our favorite, essential tee. The Georgia is one of the first styles I designed, and the pattern was drafted with adaptive fit in mind. The shoulder seam and sleeve without an armscye look intentional on all shoulder breadths, the substantial cuff wings out and draws clean lines on any arm, and the cropped length follows the rule of thirds, creating proportions that work on almost everybody.

I was thinking about effortless caftans from the '60s and '70s crossed with the neat, crisp blouses from the '40s when women started wearing separates to work. The architectural drama and movement of a draped oversized top paired with the structure and simplicity of a cropped blouse: the Georgia Tee.

Its boxy silhouette has a modern, utilitarian feeling while remaining soft and fluid. The simple, slightly cropped, easy cut can be paired with just about anything. Plus, it looks excellent half-tucked.
