The Unisex Bordeaux Ecru Striped Undershirt by Tricots Marcel in 100% Organic Cotton, Short Sleeves, Crew Neck
With its deep stripe and second-skin feel, the Bordeaux Ecru Striped Undershirt reinterprets the iconic marinière in a more intimate, warmer version.
A Unisex Striped Undershirt, Free by Nature
The Bordeaux Ecru Unisex Striped Undershirt is one of those pieces that doesn't ask you to choose a side. Neither strictly masculine nor exclusively feminine, it exists in an open, instinctive wardrobe, where style is built by how it's worn rather than by codes.
Its unisex design gives it a rare freedom: that of adapting to bodies without homogenizing them. Worn close to the skin, it naturally complements the silhouette. It embraces movement, follows gestures, and allows attitudes to breathe. At Tricots Marcel, the undershirt is never just an undergarment. It becomes a standalone piece, capable of being slipped under a shirt, asserting itself under a jacket, or being worn alone with self-assured simplicity.
On a masculine physique, the Bordeaux Ecru Striped Undershirt provides a structured presence, almost retro, yet resolutely contemporary. On a feminine physique, it conveys a soft, graphic sensuality, without an overbearing effect. Its strength lies in this elegant ambiguity: it retains the intimacy of an undershirt while embracing the character of visible clothing.
It's an everyday piece, but not an ordinary one. It embodies the Tricots Marcel spirit: effortless, timeless, bold.
Bordeaux Ecru: The Stripe in a Warmer Light
The Bordeaux Ecru color gives the Striped Undershirt a unique depth. Where navy evokes a classic marinière, Bordeaux creates a warmer, more unexpected, almost autumnal vibe. It adds density to the pattern without weighing it down, while the ecru gently balances the ensemble.
This combination creates a subtle contrast, less stark than black and white, more enveloping than traditional blue. Bordeaux Ecru has something graphic, but also sensual. It warms the complexion, adds dimension to a silhouette, and pairs easily with natural tones: raw denim, beige, ecru, khaki, brown, heather grey, or deep black.
This Bordeaux Ecru Striped Undershirt can be worn as a discreetly strong piece. It catches the eye but never seeks to dominate the outfit. It adds rhythm, visual texture, a form of slightly unconventional elegance. It's a color for those who appreciate essentials with a nuance, basics that stand out without losing their sobriety.
In the spirit of Tricots Marcel, this Bordeaux stripe doesn't copy the marinière: it shifts it. It gives it another temperature, another intimacy, another way of inhabiting the body.
The Striped Undershirt in 100% Organic Cotton, Made in France
The Bordeaux Ecru Striped Undershirt is made from 100% organic cotton, a natural material chosen for its comfort, softness, and ability to accompany the skin daily. An undershirt is first judged by touch: it must be pleasant, breathable, flexible, but also structured enough to maintain its look.
Organic cotton offers this clear, direct feeling, without excess. It leaves the skin free, accompanies movements, and allows for comfortable wear throughout the day. Its quality also contributes to the garment's durability: a good undershirt should be washable, re-worn, integrated into a routine, without losing its shape or character.
Made in France, the Bordeaux Ecru Striped Undershirt continues the savoir-faire championed by Tricots Marcel. The brand places manufacturing at the heart of its demanding standards: creating precise, well-thought-out pieces, far from anonymous basics and forgettable garments.
This approach gives the product real use value. Comfort isn't just a promise; it's felt in the material, in the drape, in the way the undershirt accompanies the body without constraining it. Durability isn't an afterthought; it's part of the very design of the piece.
Crew Neck, Short Sleeves: A Clean, Close-Fitting Shape
The design of the Bordeaux Ecru Striped Undershirt features a crew neck and short sleeves. A simple, clear, essential construction that allows the stripe to express itself without excess. The crew neck gently frames the upper body, while the short sleeves provide a clean, structured line.
This close-fitting cut allows for several uses. Under an open shirt, the undershirt adds a graphic and intimate touch. Under a jacket, it becomes an elegant base, less expected than a plain T-shirt. Worn alone, it asserts a direct, natural silhouette, with just the right amount of audacity.
The Bordeaux Ecru Striped Undershirt deliberately positions itself between several styles. It has the simplicity of an essential, the heritage of the undershirt, and the visual impact of a striped piece. Its shape is never excessive: it accompanies the body, accentuates the bust, follows movement, and maintains a clean drape.
It's an easy-to-wear piece, yet precise in its design. An undershirt worn for its comfort, kept for its style, and returned to season after season as a wardrobe staple.
