As a girl who has too many clothes, there's just one thing that I don't have enough of. What's that? Definitely the basic, plain white or black tee. A basic tee, whether it be long-sleeved or short-sleeved, is a wardrobe essential for any style guru or fashionista out there because it's so versatile and flexible. I know for a fact that I have way too many coats and trousers. However, I've often got nothing to wear with them because my tops are either too flowery, too patterned or too tight or loose.
Livotte London is one of my new discoveries- they are a high-end, luxurious basic tee brand that sells women's basics at affordable and reasonable prices. A bit about Livotte- after working in the fashion industry for a number of years, founders Beth and Delphine realised that there was a gap in the market for luxurious, organic basic tees. They decided to make an ethical, sustainable brand that sells tailored, well-fitting basics for women at work or at play. Everything is made from a tough, luxurious cotton that still stays in shape even after 200 washes!
I was lucky enough to be able to try out 2 of their new pieces, of which I'll review in detail below. I'll talk about how I felt wearing them and how I styled the basic tees.
The first thing I got was this gorgeous Audrey tunic- this top is from Livotte's latest collection and it's such a stunning piece. I have to say, I've never seen a top that has this unique cutting. It's inspired by high-end fashion, which isn't surprising since Livotte is currently selling at Harvey Nichols in England. The top is made from 94% cotton and 6% lycra, so it's a bit stretchy but super soft and breathable at the same time. The cotton is not see through at all- unlike many of the other white shirts that I own, this one is definitely the most durable and opaque. It feels so comfortable against the skin!
I styled it with a pair of white trousers and a pair of nude heels, and you can see that the Audrey top simply makes any outfit more sophisticated and elegant. It can also work well with a skirt or a pair of casual jeans. I really love how it has a unique back pleating, and the design is truly stunning!
The second top I got was this Monica Top- I found the v-neck very flattering on my body, and I'm sure it goes well with pretty much any body shape. This piece was also super unique as it had a 3/4 length puff sleeve and it was so beautiful when paired with dark trousers and heels. It's also really comfortable and soft, and again not see through at all even if you're wearing darker underwear.
I absolutely adore the Monica top because it is so beautifully designed and gorgeous. Sustainable clothing is hard to come by, but this Livotte top really exceeded my expectations. I'll be wearing this everyday for work or for university, and I'm sure it will get a lot of compliments!
Most of Livotte's tops come in black and white, and these are key colors if you want to build a neutral, versatile wardrobe. Though at first glance, Livotte seems just like another tee company, they are actually nothing like any store that I've ever seen. Their high quality clothing combined with the impeccable and tailored fit makes these tees sophisticated and highly luxurious.
