Massimo Alba Nizza Shirt

We are not going to build an argument around a white tee. This is a lightweight cotton jersey, cut regular, made in Italy, and its job is to sit under the rest of the wardrobe without asking for anything. What separates a good one from a poor one is the jersey and the neckline, which is where a cheap tee announces itself within a month, and this one is made to the same standard as everything else this house produces.

Styling and care

Under the Bali jacket in hemp, under the Rosy cardigan, under everything. With the Lois trousers it is the whole outfit. Wash cool, dry low or hang, and keep it out of a hot dryer, which is what kills a fine jersey. Our general care guidance covers the rest.

It is the plain layer under the linen and the knits, and we would rather sell one made properly in Italy than send someone elsewhere for it.

One hundred percent lightweight cotton jersey, made in Italy. Regular fit. Colour: Bianco.

The Arubaw Polo Shirt is the linen and cotton jersey with a placket, the Selma Shirt is the linen shirt, and the Lois Trousers are the heavy linen. There is more on the house on the Massimo Alba designer page. Everything we carry from Massimo Alba is listed together.
