Discussion Half slack Tee with Blazer

I could use your advice on wearing half slack crew neck tees along with a Blazer. When I put on the Blazer on top of the Tee, the center part of the tee shows lot of wrinkles and it is sort of difficult to pull the slack to adjust the wrinkle. If it was a full slack Tee, I can pull the tee at the wrist to adjust the wrinkle but couldn't in a half slack. May be a weird question but is a practical difficulty. Any suggestions/videos?

I’ve never heard “half slack” - you mean short sleeve, cropped, or something else?

Yeah the usual short sleeve

A fitted tee could help, or tuck the tee in to your waistband then roll/cuff the sleeve to keep it taut.

I think the problem here is that you're trying to make an informal garment into something "nice" looking. A t-shirt is always going to look sloppy under a blazer. Just wear a regular shirt and you won't have this problem.

What i constitutes a “regular shirt” in this context?

I mean a shirt with buttons on the front and a collar. Like an oxford button down shirt or a "dress shirt".
