If there is one piece that captures the Anine Bing signature, that off-duty, rock-and-roll ease with a Parisian polish, it is the tee. A great Anine Bing t shirt is deceptively hard to get right: the weight of the cotton, the drop of the shoulder, the exact wash of the graphic, all of it separates a tee you reach for every week from one that sits in a drawer. At Tuchuzy we carry the styles our customers ask for by name, and this guide breaks down the current line-up so you can find the one that is genuinely you.
Across the range there are three families to know, the Cade, the Shelley and the Ivan, plus a few special prints worth seeking out. Here is how they compare.
The Cade Tee: the everyday hero
The Cade is the tee most people picture when they think Anine Bing: a relaxed, slightly boxy body in a soft washed cotton, usually carrying one of the label's cult graphics. It is the one to buy first because it does the most, tucked into denim, knotted over a bikini, or worn loose with tailored trousers. We stock it in several washes, including the Cade Tee Melrose Stencil Washed Black, the sun-faded Cade Tee Palm Washed Black and the lighter Cade Tee Smiley Washed Grey. If you prefer something quieter, the Cade Tee Black Stripe swaps the graphic for a classic stripe. Size down for a neater fit or stay true for that lived-in slouch.
The Shelley Tee: the fitted classic
Where the Cade is relaxed, the Shelley is closer to the body, a cleaner, more feminine cut that works beautifully under a blazer or on its own with a high-waisted jean. It is the tee to choose if you find boxy shapes overwhelming or you want something that layers without bulk. We carry it in the essential Shelley Tee Black and Shelley Tee White, the two colours that quietly earn their place in every wardrobe, plus the softer Shelley Tee Surfer Washed Buttercream for anyone who wants a little warmth in their neutrals. At this price the black and white Shelleys are, for our money, two of the best-value entry points into the brand.
The Ivan Long Sleeve: for cooler days
Not every tee is short-sleeved, and through a Bondi winter the Ivan long sleeve becomes the piece we recommend most. It keeps the same washed-graphic attitude but adds length in the sleeve, so it layers under a coat or stands alone on a mild evening. Look to the blush-toned Ivan Long Sleeve Melrose Stencil Washed Blush for something softer, or the Ivan Long Sleeve Paris Stencil Washed Black for the label's signature moodier palette. Worn with denim and a boot, the Ivan is the definition of easy cool-weather dressing.
The special prints worth hunting down
Beyond the core styles, Anine Bing releases graphic tees that become collector pieces almost immediately. The Wagner Tee Soft Stencil Cream has a vintage band-tee feel, while the Cade Tee Wildflowers softens the formula with a lighter, prettier graphic. These are the tees to buy when you want your basic to carry a little more personality, and because the prints rotate seasonally, the current one is rarely around for long.

How to style your Anine Bing tee
The reason these tees endure is their range. For an off-duty weekend, wear a Cade loose with straight denim and a sneaker. For something more polished, tuck a Shelley into a tailored trouser and add a blazer. On the coast, knot a washed Cade over your swimmers on the walk home from the water. And when the temperature drops, layer an Ivan under a leather jacket with a boot. To round out the look, our tanks and tees edit sits alongside these perfectly, and if you love the tee you will likely love the matching Miles Sweatshirt Palm Washed Black for the days a tee alone will not cut it.
A note on fit, care and where we ship
Anine Bing tees generally run relaxed, so if you are between sizes and want a closer fit, size down, especially in the Cade. Wash cold and lay flat to dry to protect both the cotton and the printed graphics, which are designed to fade gently over time rather than crack. We are a Bondi Beach boutique and we ship worldwide, including throughout the United States, so wherever you are, the tee you have been looking for is only a click away.
Why the Anine Bing tee has a cult following
Plenty of labels make a graphic tee, so it is worth understanding why this one has become a genuine wardrobe staple rather than a passing trend. Anine Bing built the brand on the idea of elevated basics, the tee, the sweatshirt, the jean, made in better fabrics and cut with a little more attitude than the high street can manage. The tees sit at the heart of that philosophy. The cotton is heavier and softer than you expect, the graphics are printed to look worn-in from day one, and the fit has that particular Los-Angeles-meets-Paris slouch that flatters without clinging. It is the kind of piece that quietly upgrades everything you already own.
There is also a longevity argument. Because the palette stays largely neutral and the shapes are classic rather than trend-driven, an Anine Bing tee you buy this season will still look right in three years. That is what makes the price make sense: cost per wear on a tee you genuinely reach for weekly is low, and unlike a fast-fashion graphic that pills and warps after a few washes, these are made to soften beautifully. If you are building a considered wardrobe rather than chasing the next thing, one or two of these tees is a smarter buy than a drawer full of disposable ones, and it is exactly the sort of long-view dressing our tops edit is built around.
Your Anine Bing tee questions answered
Do Anine Bing t shirts run true to size? The Cade and Ivan run relaxed and slightly boxy, so size down for a neater look. The Shelley is a fitted cut and generally true to size.
Which Anine Bing tee should I buy first? If you want one tee that does everything, start with a Cade in a washed neutral. If you prefer a fitted shape, the black or white Shelley is the classic first buy and the best value in the range.
What is the difference between the Cade and the Shelley? The Cade is relaxed and boxy with a lived-in feel; the Shelley is closer to the body and more feminine. Choose the Cade for slouch, the Shelley for a cleaner line under layers.
How do I care for the printed graphics? Wash cold, inside out, and lay flat to dry. The stencil and washed graphics are meant to soften over time, and gentle care keeps them looking their best for years.
Do you ship Anine Bing internationally? Yes. We are based in Bondi Beach and ship worldwide, including across the United States, with the full Anine Bing tee range available online.
