Best designer T-shirts for women

Like it or loathe it, you can’t underestimate the staying power of the designer logo.

We’re in the thick of a consumer world laden with logo-mania, where the humble T-shirt can be deemed a luxury signifier and designer collectible.

Championed by the likes of Katharine Hamnett in the 1980s, it is perhaps the ultimate sartorial statement to get someone to pay upwards of £100 for the unassuming garment. When it comes down to it – how much are we willing to spend on a bit of cotton and stitching?

It turns out quite a lot. And while the price of a designer T-shirt is steep by most standards, after fragrances they’re one of the more "affordable" items you can buy if you’ve got a penchant for luxury brands.

Whether you’re part of the Gucci cult club or a ‘we should all be feminists’ Dior advocate, there's a designer T-shirt out there for you to cherish.

Put your pride aside and browse your favourite luxury labels here with our 10 favourite designer tees.
