Badge Graphic Cropped Tee

The Everyday Top, Thoughtfully Elevated.

Introducing The Milestone Tee from Empty Reference—a piece designed for those who find significance in simplicity and strength in softness. It begins with the exquisite, eco-conscious drape of lyocell, a fabric celebrated for its silky touch, breathability, and fluid movement. In a perfect, foundational white, it becomes a versatile staple.

The story unfolds across the chest with a balanced, asymmetric graphic: a classic heart badge on one side, the numeral '20' on the other. This pairing is open to interpretation—a celebration, a reminder, a personal chapter. It's a mark of identity, not just decoration.

The true architectural detail lies in the shoulders. Through a refined double-layer construction, they receive a gentle, built-up shape. This isn't a costume pad; it's a nuanced enhancement that provides a flattering, confident line without sacrificing an ounce of day-to-day wearability. It’s the subtle power in a soft package.

🎖️ The Blueprint of an Elevated Basic:

✔ Symbolic Heart & Number Graphic: More than a print, it's a personal insignia. The clean, emblematic design invites the wearer to assign their own meaning—be it an anniversary, an age, a goal, or simply a favorite number paired with a universal symbol of love.
✔ Fluid Lyocell-Spandex Fabric: The high lyocell content offers a luxurious, weighty drape and a cool, smooth hand-feel against the skin. The 8.7% spandex ensures the fabric moves with you and retains its shape, hugging curves gracefully.
✔ Subtle Sculpted Shoulder Design: The innovative double-layer shoulder creates a clean, slightly enhanced shape that improves posture and silhouette. It adds modern structure to an otherwise soft garment, bridging the gap between casual and refined.
✔ Versatile White Foundation: The crisp white acts as a neutral canvas, making the graphic pop and ensuring seamless integration into any wardrobe palette, from denim to tailored separates.
✔ The Empty Reference on "Wearable Intention": We design pieces that carry a quiet purpose. The fluid lyocell is the "ease"—the effortless comfort and grace. The sculpted shoulder is the "posture"—the gentle, internal fortitude. The heart and '20' are the "marker"—the personal point on your map. It’s daily dressing, done with deliberation.

✨ Design Details: A Closer Look

The Graphic as a Personal Anchor: The placement and style of the heart and '20' avoid a juvenile feel. They are graphic, almost like a patch or a stamp, lending a sense of authenticity and personal history to the clean tee.

The Shoulder as Modern Architecture: This detail is all about silhouette. By adding minimal structure at the shoulder, the entire armhole and sleeve hang more cleanly, creating a polished look that feels inherently more "dressed" than a standard tee.

The Fabric as Liquid Comfort: Lyocell is renowned for its moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties. This tee feels exceptionally comfortable in warm weather and provides a beautiful, non-clingy drape that flatters the body.

👖 Styling Your Modern Canvas

This tee is the cornerstone of an intentionally crafted look.

Effortless Tailoring: Tuck it into high-waisted, wide-leg trousers or a sleek midi skirt. The structured shoulder balances voluminous bottoms, and the white fabric provides a sharp, clean contrast. Add minimalist jewelry.

Modern Casual: Pair it with classic blue jeans (straight or wide-leg) and leather sneakers or loafers. The sculpted shoulders elevate the simple jeans-and-a-tee formula into something distinctly contemporary and chic.

Layered Dimension: Wear it under sleeveless dresses, jumpsuits, or unbuttoned vests. The shoulder detail adds a hidden layer of structure that enhances the outer garment, and the collar frame remains clean and polished.

Its Natural Habitat: Creative workplaces, weekend brunches, gallery visits, travel days, or any occasion that calls for an outfit that is both comfort-forward and thoughtfully composed.
