Monsoon Tee
Inspired by cool summer breezes, the Monsoon Tee is a versatile piece. It’s perfect for warm summer days and can also be used as a layering piece for cooler weather. The overall fit is easy to customize thanks to the simple construction: the front and back are worked separately from the bottom up and seamed for better structure, while the neck edging is picked up and worked circularly after the shoulders are seamed. The simple boxy shape, deep side vents, and relaxed longer length work with both leggings and slim skirts.
