style basics: the best long sleeve T's for the perfect winter layering

Long sleeve tops are the quiet heroes of winter dressing — the foundation pieces that make layering effortless and polished. Whether worn alone or under knits, tailoring, or outerwear, the best versions strike the right balance between comfort, fit, and fabric quality.
From crisp cotton staples to softer fine knit wool blends, a well-cut long sleeve tee adds warmth without bulk and brings structure to even the most relaxed looks.
Invest in versatile shades and considered silhouettes, and you’ll have a layering essential that works just as hard on its own as it does beneath your winter wardrobe favourites.
