Every wardrobe is made up many little building blocks. They’re the staples and basics that might seem “boring” next to sequin-encrusted tops or can-it-fit-through-the-doorway? dresses, but, honestly, the adjective couldn’t be further from the truth.
Is it? Vital boring? Is it boring? MultipliabilityYou reach for something to sneer at every other day? No. And in the pantheon of basics, there’s not a single item that looms larger than the t-shirt. It has been around since forever.Since the late 19th century) and looks just as current now as it did in the ‘80s, the ‘90s, etc. That’s basically the DefinitionClassic.
The search for the perfect tee deserves thought and research. It’s a piece you’ll wear all the time and keep in your wardrobe until it falls apart (or disappears under suspicious circumstances after loaning it out to a friend…). I’ve been hunting for literal years and have opened my wallet when necessary.
Spoiler: The expensive versions don’t magically have something extra.
I’d kind of given up hope until deciding to flirt with Amazon’s Made for You custom t-shirt. The name says it all, with optionality and a “design” process that mixes measurements you take with preferences (in sleeve length and neckline; fabric and color). You can choose from seven different lengths, including classic, medium, and long, as well as fit (relaxed or slim). You can choose from a round neck or v-neck. Continue reading specific, toggling between high, medium, and low for whichever option you’ve picked.
Along with picking and choosing all the factors that make up your perfect tee, Amazon’s technology also, in layman’s terms, scans your body for more accurate measurements. This part is done using the app and not a computer. You can expect to take a few photos in form-fitting clothing (I grabbed mine post-workout in leggings, a tank, and some shorts). It is possible to do it yourself, but it was easier to have my husband help me snap the photos.
Beyond literally being made for me—you even get to customize the inside label—the best part might be the not-so-couture price tag. The only custom tee of its kind All over the worldIt costs $25. You find that amazing?
At first glance, my made-just-for-me shirt isn’t so different than others I’ve tried. It’s only when I slip it on and realize how the combo of neckline and length and relaxed slouch is exactly what I’d pick that I remember—I did pick it all.
