Almost always I prefer a plain or striped t-shirt. Simple, elegant, versatile. But as of late I have found myself looking for a proper printed tee. Come to think of it, I guess I have always had a soft spot for a printed white t-shirt. It’s just that I never find a good one. Good t-shirts are difficult to find in general and it’s something very curious about that because they are a key element in the modern wardrobe in my opinion. My new Zara tee has all the qualities I was looking for: it’s made of linen, it has a loose fit and a chic pattern that makes it appropriate to be paired with tuxedo trousers as well as with pencil skirts and jeans (have already sported all these looks). I know prints are very tricky and it’s hard to draw some lines you can follow. It all resumes to that feeling you have that that’s the right one when you see it.

I am a big fan of plain shirts too, but every now and again, I find one with print or a picture that needs to be bought!
I found you in Inredningsvis blog and as i walk by your blog …Stunning!!Really classiq!!!Glad i found you!Have a nice day!!xx
Thank you. 🙂
You know I always go for plain or if its plain then some interesting cut or stitching detail – but today I found myself getting ready for a nice lunch and I needed something like a printed tshirt – casual luxe and on trend. Love it! Hoping you’re having a great day Ada:)x
It’s beautiful, Ada! I’ve been like you (plains or stripes) since the age of 17, never got any patterns. This spring I actually craved them… 🙂 Bought a couple of loose ones, in cream and gray with a blurred illustrations prints. I feel that printed t’s make life a bit more exciting and get me out of my classic comfort zone a little bit. 🙂

I usually stick to a plain or stripy tee too! I have a couple of printed ones from my teenage years that I just can’t get rid of – a Rolling Stones tee which I wear with a blazer and skinny jeans and the world’s most comfortable Batwoman tee which I wear when I am sunburnt and very very lazy! Love your beautiful Zara tee!
Hi!

I was having a conversation with my 12 y.o. daughter the other day. She has this really nice white tee, very similar to yours, and she was saying that she would like it much better if it had a print. I told her we’d go shopping soon for printed tees 😉 I’ve been looking for a grey coloured one. Wish me luck!
I love plain white ts from Petit Bateau, but they don’t have it here in Mexico and I’m actually looking for some white t’s (printed or not). I love this one because the fabric is light and will look wonderful layered up!

I have never owned a printed tshirt, but just like you – I recently thought – maybe some graphic desing on my tee? And I know linen ones from Zara – I actually have a white one, it’s my favourite in the summer!
I can’t even believe you posted about this Ada! I too am so particular about my printed tees. The best ones I’ve had–I think one ages ago from Agnes B. was my favorite. I have been playing around with the idea of doing some for the past few months but it has to be just right to work, so it’s been slowing me down.

I totally agree with you! Zara does these printed ones very well. I recently bought a lovely Tee by Masion Scotch, but my absolute fav ones were from H&M’s conscious collection last year!
I agree…so hard to find that perfect tee! I end up buying so many on my quest to find the “one” and then end up with a bunch that are just so-so…Zara is usually the best bet though!
I love this look Ada! My wardrobe is full of white t shirts, but I’m thinking I need to add a couple of printed tees too. I love that Zara has such stylish pieces for a reasonable price too, alot of printed t-shirts I have seen are really expensive xx
It is so hard to find the perfect tee. I’ve purchased many to only donate to others after 1 wear. I’ve finally found a few good ones though that I love. I have a few prints but don’t have a printed white one though. This one is just lovely. I was just in Zara the other day and I guess I missed it.
Wear it well, Ada! xoxo
I love your new shirt—great in linen especially! I am with you, particular about tees—they just have to be right or they look “off”, and it is increasingly difficult to find them for certain… this one is fabulous, though—enjoy!
Wishing you a great day,
xx

AWESOME POST awesome shirt…LOVE IT:)

Until last year I was an all white/off white tee supporter and a champion in finding excuses to buy more white tees that actually look exactly like the ones I have in my closet. But the I slowly discovered the chard of subtle prints and images and I have to say that Zara has plenty of great choice. Dear Ada, yhe one you picked is lovely and perfect for the warm season!
