Table of Contents Toggle Our favorite summer t-shirts If thereâs one wardrobe staple that we canât live without itâs the ever-versatile T-shirt. Letâs be honest, thereâs nothing quite like the comfort and ease of a well-made tee. Theyâre perfect for layering, dressing up or down, and adding a pop of personality to any outfit. And with so many styles, cuts, and colors to choose from, the possibilities are endless. Over the years, Iâve bought countless summer T-shirts and if I can offer any advice itâs this: When you find one you love, buy multiple. No item of clothing will see more use than your favorite tee and more often than not they donât exist when you go to replace it. (Iâm personally still clinging to the last of my beloved American Apparel burn out v-necks which is now threadbare and full of holes. Its comfort is hard earned!) So whether youâre a fan of classic crew necks, breezy V-necks, or graphic tees with quirky prints, weâve got something for everyone. Weâve also tried to include a wide selection of eco-friendly styles. Fast fashion is one of our planetâs biggest challenges, and we know that how you spend your money matters. Not to mention when you purchase pieces that last, you can always sell your used clothing to put toward new purchases. Get ready to discover some new favorites and fall in love with the humble summer t-shirt all over again! Our favorite summer t-shirts Good American Cotton Classic Tee ⢠$39 Is there an outfit more simple a chic than a crisp white tee and jeans? I donât think so. And while the perfect one can be hard to find, weâre pretty fond of this one from Good American. The fit is just relaxed enough to look pulled together and without being too boxy or oversize. And we love knowing itâs made from recycled cotton in a wide range of inclusive sizes. SHOP GOOD AMERICAN Quince Cotton Modal V Neck Tee ⢠$15 A basic v-neck, but make it fancy. Made from wrinkle-resistant modal which gives a smooth, sophisticated look this v-neck pairs perfectly with everything from tailored pants to your favorite pleated skirt. (Of course jeans always work too!) Letâs also give a round of applause for an eco-friendly option that costs the same as any fast fashion equivalent.đ SHOP QUINCE Everlane The Organic Cotton Muscle Tee ⢠$35 If youâre looking for something a little bolder than a traditional tee, this one from Everlane is a real stand out. The double layer cap sleeves and exaggerated shoulders are just edgy enough and while it comes in traditional black, white and grey, itâs the chic black and white stripes weâre after. Itâs made from organic GOTS certified cotton which may shrink just a touch, but be advised reviewers suggest sizing down anyway. SHOP EVERLANE FP Movement Inspire Cotton T-Shirt ⢠$38 This unmissable hue is about to be everywhere this season! Paired with the drapey silhouette of one of my favorite Free People tops, itâs ideal for throwing on over your workout clothes or bathing suit. Not ready to embrace the neon? No problem. It comes in tons of other great colors too! SHOP FREE PEOPLE SHOP NORDSTROM J.

SHOP HONEST BABY CLOTHING SHOP AMAZON Madewell Whisper Cotton V-Neck Tee ⢠$16.50 $19.50 The Whisper Cotton V-Neck Tee is a year-round Madewell staple Iâve bought in multiple colors over the years. Like hundreds of other reviewers state, itâs kind of the perfect T-shirt. The fabric is thin and soft without being see-through and the fit is just rightânot too big or too clingy. Itâs also one that always seems to keep its size and shape no matter how many times you wash it! SHOP MADEWELL Faherty Sunwashed Crew Tee ⢠$58 As someone who has held onto the same threadbare American Apparel tees for almost two decades, Iâm a sucker for a tee that feels broken in. A current fave is this vintage feeling organic cotton style from Faherty. Itâs like that band tee youâre too nostalgic to toss but without a crusty, faded logo. Win! SHOP FAHERTY Gap 100% Organic Cotton Vintage Crewneck T-Shirt ⢠$23 With over 2.4K 5-star ratings, a wide array of colors, and a price tag of less than 25 bucks, the Organic Cotton Vintage Crewneck T-Shirt is hard to beat. Itâs got a more relaxed fit and the fabric is lightweight, perfect for outdoor adventures with kids in tow. SHOP GAP Old Navy Luxe Tunic T-Shirt ⢠$15.99 Listen. If youâre all âenough with the crop tops,â I hear you. Itâs hard to find T-shirts of considerable length these daysâor even just ones that donât hit your belly button the second you put your arm up. Take your style in the opposite direction with this tunic style from Old Navy. The drapey fit and soft material makes it perfect for wearing with leggings or tossing on over your bathing suit. The even better news? Some colors are on sale for just $6 bucks! SHOP OLD NAVY Madewell Garment Dyed Oversize Pocket Tee ⢠$45 A roomy fit and weighty, garment dyed fabric makes this Madewell best-seller feel like that vintage college tee you just canât part with.
