Slouch Breton, £50 stripeandstare.com

Following a recent severe wardrobe purge, I now have a total of 10 T-shirts (four black, one white, two pale pink, three printed). But I’m bereft of a Breton, which is an essential. I like red stripes as it’s pleasingly off-kilter from the traditional blue. Stripe and Stare is a brilliant label that has specialised – and perfected the art – and it offers personalised embroidery if you so wish. This one is a soft linen cotton, a great loose cut, and the perfect breezy addition for summer.
