We fell in love with Rapha’s new women’s range when it came out, but one of our favourite pieces was the simple sleeveless shirt.

The front of the shirt is 100% cotton, but turn it around and you’ll notice the back is 100% merino – which means you’ll not be arriving at the office with a ‘T’ shape on your back.

The seams on the shoulders are designed to avoid irritation from bag straps, and the buttons are protected with a covering strip. The finishing touch is a hi-vis undercollar stripe to make sure you’re seen on the road.

Admittedly, it is £90 – but every wardrobe DOES need a white shirt.
