Victoria Beckham may have become renowned for experimenting with tricky trends and translating them into looks which actually seem wearable- think wide-legged trousers, "off" colours or oversized silhouettes- but her latest style stapleis thedecidedly simplewhite t-shirt.
Asshe flitted from London to New Yorkfinalising her SS18 collection and launching the next iteration of her collaboration with Estee Lauder in September, a slightly slouchy, boyish-cut t-shirt became Beckham"s go-to piece.She paired it with relaxed trousers, 80s-inflected blazers and several styles of vintage jeans.In short, she showed that when in doubt, a white tee is the basic we all need in our wardrobes.
But of course, being the perfectionist that she is, Beckham"s new obsession wasn"t just directed at any old white t-shirt.No, it turned out that she had fixated on creating her own perfect version as part of her Victoria, Victoria Beckham collection.
???I hate tees which are droopy around the neck, it needs to be boxy and masculine but not too long in the body," Beckham mused as she launched her latest VVB collectionduring LFW."It should be so easy and simple to find but as someone who wanted that, I couldn???t find it.???
Today, the very t-shirt which Beckham lovingly created- and whichcomes with her VB initials subtly embroidered in graphic white font on the sleeve- is available to buy at VictoriaBeckham.com, priced at a pleasingly affordable ??90.
The "Victoria" tee is described as a"white T-shirt is made from soft white cotton jersey in a boyfriend tee cut, with loose-fit sleeves and a neat crew neck."Take note especially of the longer length sleeves which hit a little above the elbow leaving only the slimmest part of your arm on show.Beckham also noted that it"s not so short that you can"t tuck it in, but also not so long that it bunches up inside your trousers/ skirt.
Victoria Beckham"s chicest looks???I don???t have time to think about what I???m wearing," Beckham told The Telegraph."I???m spending so much time focussing on the collection that the last thing I want to think about is what I???m wearing, so it???s like a uniform.???
Whether you layer yours underneath a cardigan, use it to pare back a ladylike skirt or keep it simple with jeans, the Victoria t-shirt could become the wardrobe staple you probably always knew you needed, but never quite got round to nailing- until Beckham did the hard work for you.
