When it comes to summer T-shirts, most people default to cotton. But there’s more to explore. Some fabrics offer a softer hand-feel, smoother drape, or better breathability on humid days. If you’re looking to expand your wardrobe with something different this season, we’ve got two options worth a try.
1950s Lyocell Stripe Knit T-Shirt
This one's made from 100% lyocell and knitted into a 280g weight—substantial, but not heavy. The texture feels cool and silky on the skin. It’s got a soft structure that doesn’t cling, and the classic fit works for everyday wear. Wide stripes and a subtle cinch at the waist give it a slight vintage edge, inspired by 1950s sportswear.
Viscose Knit Short Sleeve Henley T-Shirt
A short-sleeve Henley with a smooth surface and unexpected weight. The material is 100% viscose knit—thicker than you'd expect, but never stuffy. It’s cut with light waist shaping and finished with a ribbed neckline, a small tweak on the classic Henley. Drapes well, breathes better than it looks.
Why Try These?
Both lyocell and viscose are made from plant-based fibers. They’re smooth, breathable, and easy to wear. A good option for those who want something simple but just a little different.
