The classic crew neckline and short sleeves create a timeless look that layers beautifully under jackets or stands alone on warmer days.

Whether you’re flowing through a yoga session, grabbing coffee with friends, or simply relaxing at home, this tee moves with you.
Fabric & fit details
Fabric & construction details
We chose a premium cotton-polyester blend for the calia womens everyday boxy short sleeve tee because it delivers the perfect balance of softness and performance. The fabric composition includes 60% cotton for breathability and natural comfort, blended with 40% polyester for durability and moisture management.
Our garment construction features flatlock seams that lie flat against your skin to prevent chafing during movement. The hemline is finished with a clean raw edge that won’t roll or bunch, maintaining the relaxed silhouette we designed. We’ve reinforced the shoulder seams to ensure this tee holds up through countless wears and washes.
Sizing & fit guide
Our Everyday Boxy Tee runs true to size with an intentionally relaxed fit through the body. The boxy cut provides approximately 2-3 inches of ease compared to a standard fitted tee, giving you freedom of movement without looking oversized.
The slightly cropped length hits most women at the natural waist or just below, making it perfect for pairing with high-waisted leggings, joggers, or jeans. If you prefer more coverage, we recommend sizing up for additional length. The armholes are cut generously to accommodate a full range of motion during exercise while maintaining a flattering drape.
Care instructions & longevity
Maintaining your Everyday Boxy Tee is simple—machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low heat. We recommend turning the garment inside out before washing to preserve the fabric’s softness and any color vibrancy.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the natural moisture-wicking properties of the blend. If needed, a gentle detergent works best to keep the fabric feeling fresh without breaking down the fibers over time.
