A letter from a reader
I hardly have to think about what to wear anymore
On the simple everyday tee I liked so much, I went back for almost the whole collection.
The Elise | Essential Comfort Tee in White — the colour Susan started with.
I originally bought the Elise Tee in white because I wanted a simple everyday top that I could wear with almost anything.
I liked it so much that I ended up going back for more colours — and by now I have almost the whole collection.
And at a certain stage of life, most of us simply stop wanting to make that trade-off. We want shoes that keep up with a real day: the errands, a bit of shopping, lunch with a friend, a walk along the water, a casual dinner — without tucking a spare pair into our handbag.
“By now I have almost the whole collection.”
That's exactly the gap we wanted to fill when we chose the Amara for this season.
It's the Elise | Essential Comfort Tee from The Melbourne Wardrobe.
Here's why it's become my go-to.
1
Soft, light and a relaxed fit that doesn't cling
The fabric feels soft and light, and the relaxed fit doesn't cling.
I really like the half sleeves because they give a little extra coverage without feeling too warm.
“I really like how easy this top is to wear. The relaxed fit is comfortable without looking baggy, and the half sleeves give me just the right amount of coverage. I usually wear mine with jeans or linen trousers and it always looks neat without needing much styling.”
★★★★★ — Karen M. · Geelong, VIC
2
Incredibly easy to style
I can put on the blue one with jeans, the pink or green with lighter trousers, or keep it simple with black or white.
They are incredibly easy to style and always make me feel put together without trying too hard.
3
My everyday go-to top
I wear them for shopping, lunch, travelling and just around the house — they have genuinely become my everyday go-to tops.
The peep-toe front and cut-out sides keep it airy and summery, while the low, flat sole makes it easy to wear from morning coffee through to an evening stroll.
“A lovely everyday basic. The fabric feels light and soft, and I’ve found it very easy to mix with the rest of my wardrobe. I bought the white one first and ended up ordering another colour because I wear it so often. Simple, comfortable and very easy to dress up or down.”
★★★★☆ — Amanda R. · Newcastle, NSW

I've worn mine quite a bit already
They've already come along to all sorts of everyday plans.
Where I've worn mine
Shopping
Running errands
Meeting friends for lunch
Out for an early dinner
That's probably what I like most about them: I don't really have to think about where I'm going before putting them on.

Why I'd recommend it
If you are someone who likes simple, comfortable pieces that you can mix and match with almost everything already in your wardrobe, I would absolutely recommend the Elise Tee.
The bundle discount from The Melbourne Wardrobe also made it easy to pick up a few colours at once, which I'm very glad I did.
