Tapered t-shirts narrow toward the hem — shaped through the waist for a closer fit. Tailored tee precision.
The tapered shape defines the waist, flattering hourglass and straight figures alike.
Wear tucked into high-waisted bottoms to show the shaping. The taper reads polished.
Fit matters more than size labels, which vary wildly between brands. The shoulder seam should sit at your shoulder edge, the body should skim without pulling at the bust, and the length should cover your waistband with room to move. When in doubt between sizes, consider how you'll wear it — tucked styles can run fitted, untucked styles need a bit more ease.
