The 21 Best T-Shirts for Everyday Wear, Going Braless, and Staying Home

Tyler Joe

Over the past two decades, the t-shirt has been our security blanket. The t-shirt is a staple in your closet that can last a lifetime, but you need to replace them as soon as they start to get stained or worn out. Use this time at home to comb through your closet and throw away any gross, stretched, and worn-out tees can’t bear to wear in public, even if you’re not going anywhere (although we suggest repurposing them as cleaning clothes!). We narrowed it to 21 styles we love. This roundup features everything you need to know about crewnecks, including the best.

OUR #1 FAVORITE

The Organic Cotton Box-Cut Tee

The Everlane cotton shirt is the perfect fit. It’s not too loose but not too tight and looks great with everything. It’s thin but opaque, breathable and comes in a variety colors and prints. If you’re looking for a tee that is basic in the best way possible, this is your gold standard.

It’s all in the details

T-Shirt with Crew Neck, Sydney Short Sleeve Cropped Crew Neck

This Amazon The Drop label option is quick to ship and features fun back seam details that make it stand out from other white tees.

The Perfect Pick

Stretch Cotton Tee

SKIMS is a hot topic. Kim Kardashian founded SKIMS, and it makes great basics. This fitted tee can be worn every day in its tight, soft fabric.

This Wide Neckline Style

Tee Rex

Universal Standard offers enough t-shirts to fit your entire crew in sizes 00-40. We’re partial to this style though, made of Peruvian cotton featuring an elongated cap sleeve.

All Tie Up

Knotted Crew Tee

Abercombie and Fitch are thriving again. You need more proof? Look to this knotted tee that’ll take all the effort out of tying your own knot.

The Classic Cut

Heritage Cotton 1950s boxy t-shirt

Re/Done is loved by celebrities from Cindy Crawford to Gigi Hadid, and is well-known for its modern twists on classic staples. This boxy tee was created in collaboration with Hanes. We want one in every color.

The Slub Style

Whisper Cotton Rib Neck Tee

Madewell’s tee has a soft, whisper-soft fabric. These lightweight shirts are a best-seller for its daily wearability with a slouchy, comfortable fit.

The $8 Icon

ComfortSoft Crewneck T Shirt

Hanes is the best place to talk about tee shirts. We will always associate the iconic white T-shirt with this affordable brand (specifically one in the men’s or boy’s section), but this new update in summery is even more appealing.

Viral Muscle Tee

White Padded Shoulder Eva Tshirt

It’s likely that you recognize this statement shirt because it’s been worn by every Instagram celebrity. This is a modern version of the white tee, with its boxy shape and padded shoulders.

Tie Dye

University Tee

Tie dye continues to be a popular trend. It’s a simple way to reuse old tees. But, this John Elliot design is a great alternative for those who don’t want to do the DIY thing. Each shirt is hand-made, cut and sewn by Elliot.

Best Bodysuit T-Shirt

Classic Collection Ludlow thong bodysuit

This t-shirt is for the person who wears it tucked in. Alix’s bodysuits have a soft, seamless fit.

The Workout Tee

Everyday Shortsleeve

This shirt is versatile enough to wear regardless of whether you’re working out. The best thing about the Outdoor Voices tee? It wicks sweat like your favorite performance gear, yet it still looks and feels like a regular shirt.

The Vintage Inspired Concert Shirt

Beach Boys Tee

MadeWorn band tees offer a vintage look without the need to hunt. Each tee is hand-crafted, distressed and hand-sanded to resemble thrift store finds. These tees are perfect for dancing at Club Quarantine or IG Live concerts.

Evening Look

Easy Scoopneck T Shirt

The scoop neckline is known for being difficult. The collar must be just right. It should fit perfectly, but not be too tight that it loses its U shape. Frame’s Le Scoop ticks all the boxes.

This is a Layering Pick

Alex Slim Tee

Reformation offers a lightweight tee, which can be worn under a sharp blazer or tucked in to your favorite jeans. It can be used as a layering piece and is available in a variety of solid colors.

The Ethical Pick

Organic Cotton T-shirt with C-FIBER™

Pangaia is an ethical brand that you should keep in mind. This tee is made with its PPRMINT™ oil, that’s packed with antibacterial and antimicrobial properties so your T-shirts stay fresh for longer,

The Fashion Graphic Tee

Spray Palm printed cotton jersey T-shirt

One tee is better than all the rest. Paradised’s cool graphic T-shirts add a designer touch without being trite.

The Boyfriend Look

The Tokyo Crop Tee

Cotton Citizen’s tee is what you always want your boyfriend’s t-shirts to look like, but better. It’s so soft you’ll want it to be your everyday shirt.

For High-Waisted Jeans

Pima Boxy Crop Tee

Finally, a cropped T-shirt for those with broad shoulders. The Richer poorer cropped tee has a wide, boxy cut in a lightweight cotton weave and feels sturdy. These details are important for a tee shirt that exposes your stomach.

Our Favorite V–Neck

V-Neck Jersey T Shirt

This longline v-neck doesn’t dip too far down: It falls just low enough to be universally flattering and works well with layering necklaces.

The Heavyweight

U Crew Neck

You’ll love this Uniqlo shirt if you want to add a little weight and texture to your basic tee. This Uniqlo shirt comes fully opaque so it can be worn with colored bras, bralettes, or even no bra. The cut is tailored without being form-fitting, and its wallet-friendly price can’t be beat.
