SS25 T-Shirt Style Guide

Posted on: May 25th, 2025 – Words by Tobias Wightman

It’s time for the unsung heroes of your wardrobe to take centre stage. Yes, we’re talking about the humble t-shirt and it's trusty sidekick, the vest. Too often this duo find themselves hidden beneath sweats, knits, and outerwear, but summer changes everything. Warmer days give them their well-earned spotlight, making them the foundation of every sun-soaked fit.

With this in mind, we’ve pulled together our SS25 T-Shirt Style Guide - a curated edit of standout styles we’re wearing on repeat (and think you will too).

Dean Textured T-Shirt | Relaxed, Boxy Fit

Let’s start with the tee that defines us - the Dean. With its relaxed, boxy fit and subtly dropped shoulders, it’s a silhouette that’s become a Wax signature. Crafted from our exclusive 280g textured organic jersey, it offers a soft touch and a distinctive look that sets it apart. It’s a shape we revisit season after season, reimagined in fresh colourways. This rich, deep green is a standout - the kind of shade that instantly elevates and pairs effortlessly with your go-to trousers.

Dean Striped T-Shirt | Relaxed, Boxy Fit

We meant it when we said the Dean is a true Wax signature. And few things capture the spirit of summer like a striped tee - especially in this navy and ecru colourway that strikes the perfect balance between Parisian cool and nautical classic. This version is effortlessly versatile, pairing seamlessly with all your summer staples - whether that’s our relaxed Kurt trousers, loose Felix denim, or pleated Fuller shorts. And of course, it’s cut in the same winning Dean silhouette and textured cotton you already know and love.

Dean Graphic T-Shirt | Relaxed, Boxy Fit

Rounding out our Dean lineup is the newest addition to the Wax collection - and it’s all about bringing a bit of fun to your summer fits. This graphic tee puts a bold twist on our classic Dean, featuring an ecru and blue doodle-style back print that captures the easy, carefree energy of the season. Look closer and you’ll spot the matching doodle Wax logo on the chest - a subtle detail that speaks to our love of thoughtful finishing touches. Screen-printed for a naturally lived-in feel, the artwork will only get better with wear - ageing beautifully as you make it your own.

Milton T-Shirt | Slightly Oversized, Boxy Fit

When the heat hits and things get a little... sticky (you know the feeling), comfort becomes non-negotiable. That’s where the Milton steps in. Designed with a slightly oversized, slouchy fit, the Milton puts ease and comfort first - without ever compromising on quality. It’s made from 100% compact organic cotton, delivering a heavyweight yet breathable feel that hits the sweet spot for casual summer dressing. And let’s not forget - it’s a white tee - the cornerstone of any well-curated t-shirt drawer.

Milton Graphic T-Shirt | Slightly Oversized, Boxy Fit

First, it was the Dean - now it’s the Milton’s turn to get the graphic treatment, and this one brings a whole new energy. This design leans into full tropical escapism, with a playful, hand-drawn illustration of a palm tree arching over calm ocean waves. Set against a black base, the bold hits of green, blue, and coral pop with laid-back vibrancy. It’s nostalgic, carefree, and unmistakably summery - the kind of graphic that feels like a postcard from your dream holiday. And naturally, it’s all printed on the same oversized, breezy Milton silhouette - comfort-first and made for the heat.

Hayden Long Sleeve T-Shirt | Regular Fit

Even in summer, not every day hits peak temperatures - which is exactly why a long-sleeve tee is a warm-weather essential. Our go-to? The Hayden. This classic crew neck is cut from the same 280g textured organic cotton as our signature Dean, giving it that perfect balance of substance and softness. It’s breathable, comfortable, and built for those cooler mornings, breezy evenings, and in-between days. We like to pair ours with shorts for an easy summer fit - whether that’s the Kurt, Fuller, or Linton. But of course… we would say that.

Prim Open-Knit Vest | Relaxed Fit

Sure, you probably own a vest or two - but have you ever owned one like the Prim? Crafted from a soft cotton blend, the Prim stands out with its semi-sheer finish and intricate open-knit weave, offering a refined texture that feels elevated and modern. It’s a serious step up for your vest rotation. Whether layered under a shirt, styled with tailoring, or worn solo, this versatile piece brings a subtle sophistication to any look - proof that a vest can be just as considered as the rest of your fit.
