Some from Lilla P, others from Monrow and Allsaints.</p> <p>All have gone back except for the AllSaints, which is pretty promising. It’s the right shape I was looking for — not too fitted or stretchy, a classic tee. It skims without feeling baggy in the waist or tight in the boobs, which can happen way too easily with these sort of unisex-looking classic tees. </p> <p>The Lilla P were stretchy fitted ones, not the look I’m after. The Monrow were a bit too flimsy and felt like they’d lose what shape they had after a wash. The AllSaints is a decent weight for a white tee — I can wear a black bra underneath and it’s not super obvious. I might try some others from the suggestions you all have made before committing but it’s a good one!</p> <p><a href="https://www.zappos.com/p/asin/B0B8253J5S" rel="nofollow">https://www.zappos.com/p/asin/B0B8253J5S</a></p> <p>Thanks for all the suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2286408 Sun, 16 Oct 2022 12:12:38 +0000 Janet 2286408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of great suggestions, thank you! </p> <p>I decided to order a few to try from Zappos (they have some Lilla P), because of quick delivery and easy, free returns. We’ll see if any work. When I’ve popped into local B&amp;M stores, no short sleeve tees to be found — seems like stock has shifted to winter cuts instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2286203 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 21:24:30 +0000 cat2 2286203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Lilla P, and find mine on sale at RueLaLa. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2286183 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 19:03:41 +0000 Joyce 2286183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most of my "keeper tees" are Cuyana. Great quality cotton that keep their shape. I have short sleeve, long sleeve, crew neck and v-neck never a problem or regret. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2286180 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 18:27:45 +0000 notsaf 2286180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've become converted to replacing tees with a fresh set yearly (per <a rel="nofollow" href="http://northerncalstyle.com/2012/02/how-to-look-like-million-bucks.html">Michael Kor's advice</a>). They don't need to be fancy. I got a nice one a Zara earlier this season and have had great ones from Cuyana in the past, but honestly my go-to ones these days are Old Navy "Everywear." Do size up. None of these shrinks in the wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2286074 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 10:50:22 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2286074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this Alex Mill t-shirt. &lt;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.alexmill.com/collections/womens-tees/products/frank-tee-in-40s-jersey-in-white">https://www.alexmill.com/colle.....y-in-white</a>&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2286072 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 10:28:33 +0000 ChrisM 2286072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lands End short sleeve shaped 1x1 ribbed crew is a great choice for a mid weight white tee. I like that it doesn’t collapse too close to my body and it falls at a nice length (not too long) to wear untucked. It fits me great through the shoulders too - neat and a bit structured.</p> <p>When I think of ribbed tees, I think wide ribs and very body con, which this is NOT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2286043 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 03:45:47 +0000 SuzyQ2 2286043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m still a fan of Deluth Trading co tees. I stick to the 100% cotton, they feel better on my skin than the blends and also run truer to size. Blends seemed to be smaller.&nbsp;<div>Short sleeves are on sale now.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2286027 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 01:49:31 +0000 Aquamarine 2286027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Garnet Hill’s Essential Tee. It drapes really well and I don’t think the white is sheer compared to others I have. I find it true to size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2286025 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 01:45:32 +0000 DonnaF 2286025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got this BP T-shirt ($14) which is much thicker and better made than the $19.50 Madewell one I bought at the same time and is way too long for me and a little see through. The BP is very opaque. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2285998 Thu, 13 Oct 2022 23:17:07 +0000 Jules 2285998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Uniqlo for tees of decent cotton weight.

I have a Lilla P tee with a V neck that is a nice weight. They have a short sleeved version on Zappos that I might try. </p> <p>I’m a little wary of ordering directly from a lot of brands now because I just got an unpleasant surprise when I logged on to return an item I ordered from Saint and Sofia — I can return it fine, but they will only issue a gift card credit, not credit my card! So I’m now obligated to order something from them in the future, grrrr. Better to stick with Zappos, Nordstrom, etc, where the return policies are more predictable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2285940 Thu, 13 Oct 2022 18:25:53 +0000 phoebe 2285940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lilla P might have something you like and they're having a 20% off sale today.</p> <p>I have the long sleeve version of this in navy, ordered from Zappo's but returned the grey as it was not 100% cotton</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://lillap.com/collections/tops/products/short-sleeve-crew-3">https://lillap.com/collections.....eve-crew-3</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2285937 Thu, 13 Oct 2022 18:07:39 +0000 Anonymous 2285937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My plan this winter is to pick up some boys undershirts. I read an article that said they are a good alternative at an excellent price. I have some Target bonus points that I plan to use. Been thinking about sizing. I am leaning towards size large as I wear a hand-me-down sweater from my youngest son in that size. Good luck with your search :)</p> <p><a href="https://www.target.com/p/fruit-of-the-loom-boys-39-4-1-bonus-pack-t-undershirt-white-l/-/A-54420803" rel="nofollow">https://www.target.com/p/fruit.....A-54420803</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2285936 Thu, 13 Oct 2022 18:00:23 +0000 Kyle 2285936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the J Crew Perfect T. It’s a nice weight and not clingy like so many Ts.I also appreciate the slightly longer short sleeve but you may not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2285935 Thu, 13 Oct 2022 17:56:55 +0000 LaPed 2285935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those tees look great; they're reminiscent of J Crew and Gap in their heyday...&nbsp;</p> <p>If they don't work out, you could look at Reformation. I feel like their perfect vintage tee or classic crew tee could fit the bill. No idea how substantial the white is though.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, maybe American Giant or Mate the Label?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2285921 Thu, 13 Oct 2022 16:10:42 +0000 Janet 2285921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! White tees, especially. I have a great black tee by ATM, but apparently the white version is a bit thin. Grrrr, why??</p> <p>I haven’t looked at Garnet Hill for clothing — I’ll take a look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2285920 Thu, 13 Oct 2022 15:50:05 +0000 Anonymous 2285920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Roger that. &nbsp;Mine don’t have pockets. &nbsp;Have you tried Garnet Hill? &nbsp;They also have some nice tees.</p> <p>It’s amazing how hard it can be to find just the right tee sometimes. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2285912 Thu, 13 Oct 2022 15:19:08 +0000 Janet 2285912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Xtabay, I had some of the rounded v neck shirts some years ago, but tired of the pocket detail. I’m looking for a crew neck with a shorter sleeve, and it doesn’t look like Caslon currently offers that style. I’ll keep an eye out though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2285900 Thu, 13 Oct 2022 14:44:21 +0000 Anonymous 2285900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not familiar with this brand. &nbsp;I’ve always been happy with Nordstrom’s Caslon tees. &nbsp;They’re soft, run true to size, and the white ones aren’t transparent. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mott-bow-tees-anyone#post-2285896 Thu, 13 Oct 2022 14:36:18 +0000 Janet 2285896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am starting to low-key look for new short-sleeved plain tees for layering and for next summer. White tees are especially hard because so many are too sheer. </p> <p>I’ve been eyeing the Mott &amp; Bow Marcy tees, which look nice and get great reviews. Based on what I’m reading though, I’m thinking of sizing up from my usual M (when 5’4” 125 lb ladies are wearing a M, I’m thinking the sizing runs small), especially for a white tee. </p> <p><a href="https://www.mottandbow.com/products/fcrt-marc-vine" rel="nofollow">https://www.mottandbow.com/products/fcrt-marc-vine</a></p> <p>Has anyone here had experience with their tees? Or do you have another good source for a good basic white or grey women’s tee? I prefer something not too fitted — I’m not doing bodycon these days, but I don’t want a oversized fit either. I aim for a fit similar to this pictured. </p>
