Sometimes it’s the simplest pieces that get the most wear. These basic tees were the real MVPs of my summer, comfortable, flattering, easy to style, and totally worth grabbing in more than one color.
We all have those pieces we reach for over and over, and this summer, for me, it was these basic t-shirts. They worked with everything, denim shorts, skirts, over swimsuits, under button-ups and held up through the heat, the wash, and busy mom life. I’m rounding up the 3-4 tees I wore on repeat, with notes on fit, fabric, and why they earned a spot in my everyday summer rotation.
1. Aritzia Boxy Tee (wearing size XS). I tried this tee earlier this summer and it instantly became a favorite! It is the most fantastic fabric that has structure and is a little bit thicker so it feels really lux, and even the white isn’t see through AT ALL. If you’re looking for a perfect everyday tee and are willing to splurge a little bit, this one is unmatched.
2. Target Boxy Tee (wearing size small). This tee is a very similar cut to the Aritzia tee, but it’s about half the weight. Much thinner, but if I wear a nude bra, it doesn’t look or feel see through at all. It’s only $8 so it’s impossible to beat that!
3. Target ribbed tee (wearing size XS). This has been a favorite for a few years – super soft and stretchy, and so comfortable. Our entire team owns and loves these. It also comes in a bunch of colors!
4. Pumiey v-neck short sleeved tee (wearing size small). I’ve been raving about Pumiey bodysuits for years, and I was so happy when they released a t-shirt version a few years ago. They’re double lined so the white is not at all sheer, they’re super stretchy and soft fabric, and they have different necklines, colors, and sleeve options. They’re a great layering tee or wear by itself.
I highly recommend all of these – if you’re looking for good basics, these are all fantastic options.
