What defines the perfect t-shirt for you?
Like finding the perfect pair of jeans, the perfect tee is a closet staple that's all too elusive for some. My idea of the perfect t-shirt is a simple, solid colored top that drapes in the "right" spots. It's versatile, humble and sleek — a piece that's easy to dress up or play down.
I wear t-shirts more days during the week than not. I mean, I've got a whole drawer full of basic t-shirts and long sleeve tops in every neutral color under the sun. They're incredibly easy to throw on in the morning before work under a blazer with a pencil skirt or with tapered trousers and wedges. I usually keep my office outfits relatively simple, but sometimes I'll opt to spice up the neckline with a simple necklace before running out the door.
At just under $10, I can't get enough of this t-shirt. It comes in a handful of colors, too. But, I'll say, it's not the best quality piece I've ever owned — I know I'm always touting quality over quantity, but I'm just not willing to spend a fortune on a luxe t-shirt. Whenever I wear one out, I just pop into H&M and pick up a new one because at this price point, why not?
From workwear to the weekend, a good t-shirt really puts in overtime. On weekends, I often opt for more laid back looks, like this simple, neutral ensemble I wore recently. It was perfect for a casual day running errands and exploring the city. You could easily swap out the booties for a pair of city sneakers (this Converse pair is my favorite!) or lace up flats for a totally different feel.

I love that t-shirt! I definitely just get my t-shirts at Target or H&M too so no need to explain to me haha.

I totally agree — I can't justify spending a lot on t-shirts!
DeleteI tend to get my basic t-shirts from Target as they're cheap, comfortable and fit me pretty well. Sure they won't last FOREVER but I find the quality is still pretty good and they last awhile!
ReplyDeleteFinding something that's flattering is the key — they're such a basic wardrobe staple!
DeleteI love finding tshirts that are soft and good deals. It always makes the base of an outfit easy to wear and layer.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree — it's long enough to be flattering but not so long as to be awkward!
ReplyDeleteI love how the hem of this t-shirt is round - definitely makes a regular tee seem a tad dressier!
ReplyDeleteI love finding a go-to t-shirt like this! I typically get mine from Target, but H&M has great basics too :)
ReplyDeleteLove getting my basic tees from Old Navy! So soft and comfy! May need to check out H&M next time I head to the mall!

ReplyDeleteLove that shirt! It's so flattering on you too, which sometimes t-shirts most certainly don't do!
