The Elevated Shoulder Pad Crew

For over 20 years, I've wanted to create the perfect T-shirt. Having styled thousands of women, I know that finding a T-shirt that truly works for real bodies is far more difficult than it should be. Every detail of the Elevated Crew Neck T-Shirt has been carefully considered using the knowledge we've gained through years of personal styling.

Crafted from 100% cotton, the length has been designed to finish at what we often refer to as the "sweet spot" across the tummy area. Long enough to create balance and skim over the midsection, yet not so long that it creates excess bulk when tucked into trousers, skirts or shorts.

The neckline has been carefully developed to sit high enough to be seen beneath knitwear and jackets, creating a polished layered look, whilst remaining open enough to avoid making the neck appear shorter or wider.

The sleeves have been thoughtfully cut with both length and width in mind, providing comfortable coverage across the upper arm whilst maintaining a flattering silhouette. Every proportion has been carefully considered to ensure the T-shirt works beautifully across a wide variety of body shapes.

As with many of our designs, balance is key. The removable shoulder pads create the starting point of an hourglass silhouette by adding subtle structure across the shoulders. For women who don't require additional shoulder definition, the pads can simply be removed, allowing the T-shirt to adapt to your shape and styling preferences.

One of the things I love most about this piece is its versatility. It works effortlessly beneath knitwear, blazers and jackets, whilst being equally at home worn on its own with denim, tailoring or linen pieces. It may look simple, but every element has been carefully refined to make it one of the hardest-working pieces in your wardrobe.

For ladies with a fuller bust, or simply those who prefer a more open neckline, we've also created the Elevated V-Neck T-Shirt. Designed using exactly the same fit, proportions and styling principles, it offers all the same thoughtful details with a deeper neckline.

Finished with our discreet Marame signature embroidery at the back neckline, this is a wardrobe essential designed by stylists who understand what real women need from their clothes.

Crafted from 100% cotton, the Elevated Crew Neck T-Shirt has been designed to offer softness, breathability and everyday comfort whilst maintaining its shape wear after wear.

To help preserve the quality of your garment, we recommend washing inside out on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colours. Reshape whilst damp and allow to air dry naturally. Do not tumble dry.

Where required, iron inside out on a low heat setting.

Ensure you remove shoulder pads before machine washing or drying, as it can cause twisting and damage the fabric.

The Elevated Crew Neck T-Shirt has been designed to skim the body rather than cling to it, creating a silhouette that feels both comfortable and flattering. Every proportion has been carefully considered, from the shoulder width and sleeve shape through to the overall body length, ensuring it works beautifully across a wide variety of body shapes.

Crafted from 100% cotton, the fabric feels soft, breathable and comfortable against the skin whilst offering enough structure to maintain its shape throughout the day. Unlike overly lightweight T-shirts that can sometimes feel flimsy, this fabric has been selected to provide a more premium feel whilst remaining comfortable for everyday wear.

What I particularly love about this cotton is its versatility. It layers beautifully beneath knitwear and tailoring whilst still looking polished enough to wear on its own. The result is a T-shirt that feels effortless, practical and elevated all at the same time.

We recommend taking your usual size. The fit has been carefully developed to create balance through the body whilst maintaining ease and comfort throughout the day.
