Our Crew Neck Tees Recommendation

Crew neck tees refer to those with a round neckline that surround your neck snugly. And even crew neck tees can vary a lot, depending on the materials and cutting. Crew neck usually serves as a good base layer and you can easily match them with an overshirt or jacket.

 

forét Log T Shirt - Black/Brick

 

forét is one of our favourite Scandinavian brands. They use organic cotton on their products. Thus, their crew neck tees are thicker and softer. More than that, they keep a consistent minimalist style. And their signature tees come with forét’s logo in terry fabric.

Editor’s Picks – WANT Les Essentiels Douglas Holdall

And they are usually in rectangular shape, with two handles and a removable strap. Thus, you can either carry it with your hand or shoulder. It has the advantage of light weight and is much flexible than a suitcase. Most importantly, it allow you to travel around stylishly.
