The sales people I've worked with have also been quite good stylists. i try to save up my money to be able to shop there from time to time! I live in Metro West West, so I usually go to the location in Concord, but I can easily get to the one in Wellesley. If you ever feel like taking a trip, I'll meet you there. We can have a mini YLF meet-up! Maybe there are others in the area who'd like to join us, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-basic-v-neck-t-shirt#post-720925 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 02:51:27 +0000 Ann in New England 720925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BethL, thanks for the tip on the Lyn Evans boutiques. I have not heard of them, but I might need to take a trip to Metro-West. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-basic-v-neck-t-shirt#post-720906 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 02:02:44 +0000 BethL 720906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my Gap scoop neck tees, and you can't beat the price, especially if you can get them on sale. They also make a v-neck as I believe someone else said. They wash and dry nicely, too. I also love Three Dot tees, though they are more expensive. They make all kinds of fab tees. I agree with lynne: size up, and I would also add: don't dry them in the dryer. If you can get to one of the Lyn Evans boutiques around, they carry a lot of the Three Dots shirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-basic-v-neck-t-shirt#post-720901 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 01:56:17 +0000 Ann in New England 720901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Velvety chocolate, thanks for all that work!<br /> I will check out those JCP ones for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-basic-v-neck-t-shirt#post-720888 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 01:33:30 +0000 velvetychocolate 720888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the price, the St. John's Bay from JC Penney (a.k.a.

The JNY is a bit better than the St. John's Bay from JCP - but like I said, the JCP St. John's Bay tees are very good - especially for the price. I think you can get the Jones New York tees at Macy's too, and probably other places as well. </p> <p>Ack - can't get the links to work on JNY's site...I'm referring to:</p> <p>JNY Sport Cotton V-Neck tee<br /> JNY Cotton Basic Scoop Neck tee<br /> Long Sleeved Scoop Neck tee<br /> Ballet Neck tee</p> <p>* just go to the JNY site and look up tops, and see the various tees available. Sorry - not sure why I can't get the correct links in here. </p> <p>disclaimer: I haven't tried the Three Dots tees yet, or the 'favourite' tee from Eddie Bauer or what have you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-basic-v-neck-t-shirt#post-720854 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 01:03:08 +0000 lynne 720854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love mine from Three Dots.

FYI...Three Dots runs small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-basic-v-neck-t-shirt#post-720405 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:10:30 +0000 Mo 720405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally love both my Target 'boyfriend' modal tee and my Old Navy chiffon pocket tee. They are drapey, not typical cotton layering tops, though.<br /> I have an Alternative Apparel v-neck that's all cotton that's holding up well. The modal/silk version shrunk terribly though!<br /> I did have my eyes on a Market T by Rebecca Beeson for some time but never tried it. I'm still intrigued <a href="http://www.stripedesigngroup.com/news/?tag=market-tees" rel="nofollow">http://www.stripedesigngroup.c.....arket-tees</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-basic-v-neck-t-shirt#post-720376 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:40:12 +0000 annagybe 720376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually my workhorses came from Target, go figure. They've held up better than James Perse which were 5X the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-basic-v-neck-t-shirt#post-720374 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:38:39 +0000 texstyle 720374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I depend on Gap and Jcrew t-shirts mostly. Some long sleeve versions I've gotten at EB. Jcrew are always longer in my experience so if you prefer a hip bone length they may not be right. I've also gotten many casual t's from Lands End Canvas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-basic-v-neck-t-shirt#post-720335 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 17:56:47 +0000 RedM 720335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Eddie Bauer, Bass, or J. Crew for t-shirts. The Eddie Bauer and J Crew ones are thinner and longer while the Bass ones are more substantial but hit higher on the hip. Still not as high as something like LL Bean. I like the 3/4 sleeve scoop necks at Eddie Bauer a lot (I have 3 of them in white). The EB outlet ones are thinner and not as nice and the price isn't good enough to justify the reduced quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-basic-v-neck-t-shirt#post-720323 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 17:44:56 +0000 JR 720323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Listening attentively as I've been thinking along similar lines. Other forum members have recommended Eddie Bauer in the past, if I remember correctly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-basic-v-neck-t-shirt#post-720316 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 17:41:03 +0000 Mo 720316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Angie has recommended both Gap and Caslon (Nordstrom house brand) in the past. Check her store links from the main page for details. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-basic-v-neck-t-shirt#post-720303 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 17:35:49 +0000 Kristin L 720303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a big fan of Old Navy camis.

I prefer v-neck and/or deep scoop-neck. I'd like to find the "perfect" shirt that I can buy in multiples and rebuy when necessary -- you know, the Steve Jobs way (though not custom-made, obviously). </p> <p>So please share the brands that you love. I'm willing to spend a bit more than normal since they will be worn and laundered a lot, but price is still a factor since I am not, in fact, Steve Jobs.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
