Kallmeyer’s Striped Tees
Many brands aim to perfect the T-shirt, but it’s a tough challenge—one of fashion’s elusive white whales. How high should the neckline be? How boxy can you go without losing the shape? Is there room for a tuck? (Preferably, yes.) While I love much from Kallmeyer, my introduction to the label was through its striped tees, which come in a rotating selection of colors that feel like collector’s gold. Seeing them styled in a Z-Boys-meets-Tribeca-mom way shifted my perspective: there’s a fine line between Parisian cliché and artful design, and founder Daniella walks it expertly—like Philippe Petit on a tightrope. The Wynn tee is a personal favorite, perfect for layering under sweaters or tying around the waist. The sleeves are generous but not too long or loose; the collar sits neatly above the collarbone without feeling tight. Best of all, it’s incredibly soft. At $135 for short sleeve and $145 for long sleeve, it’s a bit more than I’d usually spend on a basic—but it has everything I want in a T-shirt and nothing I don’t. For a taste of Daniella’s world, my final thought is clear: it feels like a total steal. —Talia Abbas, shopping director
Comme Si’s La Classica Shirt
You might know Comme Si for its delightful, colorful socks, which launched the brand into the fashion scene in 2019. While those everyday staples lean toward the higher end of what many might spend on a basic, the label’s shirts hit a sweet spot just under $300. What sets these crisp button-downs apart from similar high-street essentials is their Italian craftsmanship—made from 100% Italian cotton poplin and finished with delicate mother-of-pearl buttons. Thoughtful design details, like the box pleat and back yoke, make it stand out from standard button-downs. The fit is generous, roomy yet true to the shoulder, without being oversized. It’s a cut that works just as well tucked in as worn loose. My favorite? The “Grecian” blue—a perfect traditional menswear shade that reminds me of an old women’s shirt I once saw from The Row. True to Comme Si, the shirt comes in a rainbow of colors, from classic white to maraschino cherry red and pale pinks, to suit any wardrobe. Sometimes I even like to style mine back-to-front for a fun twist. —Madeline Fass, fashion market director
