Round Knitted T-Shirt

One of the defining features of the T-shirt is its fuss-free construction – cut with the same fundamental design elements from a simple, breathable material like cotton or a cotton-jersey blend. But that's not to say there isn't room for a few upgrades.

The knitted T-shirt is a little more dressed up than your average cotton crew neck. A knit offers a more premium take on the wardrobe workhorse.

Designed to offer added insulation without feeling bulky, most are made from weightier yet breathable loose-weave fabrics. This added heft makes the knitted T-shirt an ideal option for wearing tucked into tailored trousers or smartening up a pair of neatly cut shorts.

Elsewhere, sports brands knit their workout gear from performance-enhancing fabrics because the seamless construction prevents chafing and offers a greater range of movement.
