By the Lin & Lore teamStyle notes · 3-minute read
Most T-shirts seem to be made for someone else.
The sleeves stop high on the arm, so you think twice before you wave, reach up or give someone a hug. The fabric clings around the middle and shows every lump and bump. And the boxy ones are cut so short that one stretch shows more than you planned.
So the "easy" basic ends up under a cardi, even on days that are far too warm for one.
What makes Maeve different
Maeve is a relaxed, round-neck tee with longer half sleeves. They finish just above the elbow, so your upper arms are covered without reaching for long sleeves on a warm day.
The body is relaxed, so it skims over your tummy and hips instead of clinging. And the fabric is soft and lightweight, so it is comfortable from the morning walk to dinner.
Covered on the arms. Relaxed through the middle. Neat enough to wear out.
Why it works
- Longer half sleeves. Extra upper-arm coverage, so you can wave, reach and hug without a second thought.
- A relaxed fit. It skims comfortably over the body without feeling restrictive or clinging.
- Soft and lightweight. Comfortable for all-day wear, warm days included.
- A classic round neck. Simple and neat, easy to dress up or down.
- Easy care. Machine wash on a gentle cycle and hang to dry.
Wear it your way
- With jeans. The everyday classic. Add sneakers and you are out the door.
- With linen pants or a skirt. For lunch out or a warm afternoon.
- With shorts on holiday. Light enough to pack a few colours.
- Under a cardigan or jacket. For cooler evenings and air-conditioned shops.
Before you order
Will it cover my upper arms?
That is what Maeve is designed for. The half sleeves are longer than on a standard tee and finish just above the elbow, so your upper arms are covered.
Will it cling around my middle?
Maeve has a relaxed silhouette that skims over the body instead of hugging it. Between two sizes? Choose the larger one for a little more room.
Which size should I choose?
Maeve comes in XS to 3XL, roughly AU/NZ 6 to 20. Measure your bust at the fullest point and compare it with the size guide below, in cm. Between two sizes? Choose the larger one: tops sit most comfortably with a little room.
| Size | AU / NZ | Bust | Waist |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 6-8 | 80-84 cm | 62-66 cm |
| S | 8-10 | 84-88 cm | 66-70 cm |
| M | 10-12 | 88-92 cm | 70-74 cm |
| L | 12-14 | 92-96 cm | 74-78 cm |
| XL | 14-16 | 96-101 cm | 78-84 cm |
| 2XL | 16-18 | 101-107 cm | 84-90 cm |
| 3XL | 18-20 | 107-113 cm | 90-96 cm |
How do I wash it?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle and hang to dry.

Ten colours
Colours are shown on the same model so you can compare them side by side.
If your T-shirt drawer is full of tops you only wear under a cardi, Maeve is the one to start with: arms covered, middle skimmed, and neat enough for lunch out. Pick a neutral you will wear with everything, and one colour you love.
