Men's luxury T-shirts, designer T-shirts: at Balmain, the T-shirt is an exercise in proportion. Dense cotton jersey, a round neck with ribbed trim, a straight or boxy cut, short sleeves sometimes set off by tone-on-tone geometric patches. The Balmain Paris logo appears embroidered or in a contrasting print; the labyrinth monogram and house prints take over on the more graphic versions. Made in Italy or Portugal from cottons chosen for the way they hold, they are worn on their own, under a blazer or under a blouson. The simplest piece in the wardrobe, treated with the same rigour as the rest.
