I'll be honest, I went into this a little skeptical. $78 for a t-shirt is a lot to ask, and I wasn't sure it would be worth it. It's still an expensive garment but I'll be honest, these are now my favorite tees I own and reach for them constantly 🙈
I got the Margo Tee in white and the Pointelle Slim Fit Tee in black, both size small. The Margo is as good as they say -- the fit is just perfect, the fabric is soft, and it washes really well. The Pointelle tee is beautiful too, those little details are so pretty!
Overall I'm genuinely impressed by the quality and would definitely return for elevated basics!
Leset is one of those brands that makes you feel like you’ve finally found the perfect version of a basic. Everything they make feels considered, from the cuts to the fabrics to the proportions. The prices are definitely (!) on the higher side, so I recommend waiting for sales, but when you do invest, I think the quality really shows.
Starting with the Arielle Pocket Pant, I have them in olive and they’re one of my favorite work pants. They drape beautifully, feel loose and comfortable, and the pockets make them actually functional (yay pockets!). They look polished but feel relaxed, which is my favorite balance for workwear.
The Margo Tee is another winner. It’s a slightly boxy t-shirt that feels thick, structured, and not at all see through. It keeps its shape through washing and drying, and the sleeves have that perfect shape and length that make it feel elevated instead of basic. It’s one of those pieces you put on and instantly notice how well it’s made. I have this in a few colors.
The Lauren line is made from a soft knit, and I have a black tank from this collection. The fit is incredibly flattering, fitted but not clingy, and feels like something you could wear for years. Since the knit can snag, I’ve stuck to the tops rather than the pants, but the line itself feels luxe and effortless.
Then there’s the Rio line. I own both the midi tank dress and the viral stirrup leggings, and I love both. The fabric feels like a ponte material that smooths and flatters while still being comfortable. It’s structured enough to look pulled together but easy enough to move in.
The one miss for me was the Kyoto line. The cotton felt stiff and a little noisy, not the soft and easy fabric I was hoping for. Was a little surprised. Maybe it would soften after washing, but I ended up returning mine.
Sizing wise, I’ve found everything fits true to size. I’ve referred to their product size charts as well and felt that they were accurate.
Overall, Leset makes some of the best quality basics I’ve found. The cuts are consistently flattering, the fabrics hold up well, and the pieces always feel intentional. The prices are steep, but the quality and fit make them worth watching for when they go on sale. I’m always curious about their new arrivals because every season, they find a way to make minimalism feel exciting again.
