I recently found an elbow length, ribbed boatneck top from Uniqlo in the depths of my closet. The neckline is chic and feels more polished than a regular t-shirt. Most of the options on the market have a striped, nautical feel, but I prefer the solid colors. Ralph Lauren is the only fitted, elbow sleeve style I could find, but Eileen Fisher has a looser fitting style and Mango has a wide assortment.

I blame being a dancer when I was young, but this is one of my favorite silhouettes. I recently got this one from JCrew, and it is very nice. https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens/categories/clothing/t-shirts-and-tank-tops/short-sleeve/organic-slub-cotton-elbow-sleeve-t-shirt/BP043?color_name=natural&colorProductCode=BP043
Also interested in the Silk Noil from Ozma, though it’s not a boatneck, just the elbow length sleeves. https://ozmaofcalifornia.com/products/elbow-tee-silk-noil-jersey-black
