T-shirts are a basic we wear day in, day out, whatever the weather or season.

But for those looking for a more stylish alternative to the classic design, Marks and Spencer has you covered.

Linen is the perfect fabric for summer, as it's lightweight and breathable, and M&S has combined all of our needs into one in the Linen V-Neck Relaxed T-Shirt, which we predict will be one of the products of the season.

Why we rate it

The Linen V-Neck Relaxed T-Shirt ticks all the boxes, and is a versatile number you can dress up or down.

This design is made from a linen-rich fabric, a washable blend of linen and polyester.

It offers a relaxed fit, short sleeves, and is flatteringly cut to drape, not cling.

This tee also features a pretty lace trim on the v neckline.

It comes in five colours: White, yellow, pink, dark blue and light blue, although the latter has already sold out.

It's available in UK dress sizes 6 to 24, and retails for £15 – very affordable for such a versatile piece.

Whether you pair this t-shirt with a tracksuit, jeans and trainers, a skirt, or underneath a blazer, it will be the perfect choice.
