Short sleeved but I don't remember the neckline. They were on clearance at Dillards </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498792 Sat, 30 May 2015 21:33:00 +0000 SandyG 1498792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lululemon and Eileen Fisher organic cotton tees are great for me. The current EF in white isn't too sheer and it's really cute. I don't like the expense of these brands, but they are five-year tees for me which brings the cost down considerably.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498770 Sat, 30 May 2015 20:02:58 +0000 Staysfit 1498770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm learning to be picky about the sleeves on tee's. &nbsp;My favorite tee's have cap sleeves, very short sleeves or are sleeveless but not short sleeves like the pictured Everlane tee. &nbsp;I'm not sure why but for me short sleeves often fall at an unflattering place. &nbsp;I should take them to the tailor and have them shortened when that happens. I bet it's a proportion thing right? &nbsp;I'm mostly too lazy to do it though. &nbsp;Tee's are not the most expensive item and tailoring is costly in comparison. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498754 Sat, 30 May 2015 19:01:30 +0000 Gaylene 1498754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, maybe the Classic T is the one that fits you best--style, fabric, and fit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498707 Sat, 30 May 2015 17:25:25 +0000 Greyscale 1498707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texstyle, yes, those old Gap Essential tees from 2013 were the best! I have six in black and they're finally starting to fade despite careful washing. I liked the generous cut of the sleeves - I find that more fitted tees are not as flattering on my arms. I've even looked on Ebay to see if anyone is selling new-with-tags replacements.</p> <p>I really want to try more of the Everlane tees, too.</p> <p>Like some of you, I've been gravitating towards looser tees for the last few years, but I definitely have a few of the fitted type for layering. And my irrational dislike of synthetic fiber means I've stuck with plain cotton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498664 Sat, 30 May 2015 15:36:40 +0000 Daria 1498664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>torontogirl - isn't there already a store in Ottawa?

It's fitted and has a short sleeve. It happens to have a scoop neck, but Vs and crews are other options. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have very few clients in this classic silhouette - which they really only use for layering. The fluid tee is a lot more fashionable, and that's the style I would suggest.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 has been the BEST tee on curvy and busty gals (the Trouve) - but the white is a little transparent.&nbsp;</p> <p>Everlane, Gap, Madewell and BR had the best tees for straighter figures this season.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498590 Sat, 30 May 2015 13:55:02 +0000 kkards 1498590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>not sure if uniqlio ships to canada or not, but this bought these a couple of weeks ago and love them. i bought the long sleeve linen in both navy and white, and they are perfect weekend tees, lightweight and oversized without being sloppy. i bought the short sleeve in navy and pink, the pink went back- not the color i was looking for, but the navy is great, and i'm going to order the white.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498588 Sat, 30 May 2015 13:45:24 +0000 Anonymous 1498588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the Everlane tee shirts. &nbsp;I love them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498563 Sat, 30 May 2015 12:16:49 +0000 LucyRose 1498563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that this simple white shirt embodies the classic T, which is less form fitting and has a soft, vintage feel. These days an almost boxy cut for the shoulders which makes it look a little like menswear, but still not too oversized. </p> <p>I LOVE these shirts from Everlane. They are gorgeous and I think they really understand classic looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498556 Sat, 30 May 2015 12:02:41 +0000 johnright 1498556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Classic Cut T-Shirt are more in demand these days. I also like the Talbots T- Shirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498515 Sat, 30 May 2015 01:29:42 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1498515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with LisaP. I like drapy lightweight tees. Usually this involves linen or modal, not 100 percent cotton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498484 Fri, 29 May 2015 23:19:59 +0000 Linda 1498484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally agree with your definition and the difficulty in finding one. I go to Talbots for tee shirts. I like their quality and especially like the heft of their fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498481 Fri, 29 May 2015 23:11:05 +0000 Anonymous 1498481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny - reading this post and the comments, I've realized that I have completely stopped wearing what I guess is/was known as a classic t. &nbsp;They just don't do anything for me anymore. &nbsp;Fabric technologies, knit techniques , blends, and weights have come a long way in the last few years, and I find I much prefer a more sensual, drapier, fabric than the old classic cotton tshirt gave. And hey, I bought my fair share of Joe and Costco t's too ! &nbsp; I've lumped them in with classic button front cardigans, and plain dress pants: &nbsp;a no-man's land style-wise. &nbsp;Yes, I realize no-one asked for my opinion &nbsp;Right now I'm wearing my version of a classic t - a distressed edge (neckline banding, hem and sleeve edges) super fine cotton crew neck t from Current Elliot in marled grey. &nbsp;3 years ago I would have fainted at the thought - now I can't wear anything but!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498472 Fri, 29 May 2015 23:02:19 +0000 donnat 1498472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth P said it " Costco and Joe fresh" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498297 Fri, 29 May 2015 18:47:05 +0000 Daria 1498297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>texstyle - you are right, LL Bean tees are thick. Lands End however has different options (both thick and not), although they too are on the boxier side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498272 Fri, 29 May 2015 18:10:44 +0000 texstyle 1498272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find that the EB and LL Bean type tees are just slightly too thick - it impacts the drape in a negative way (to me at least). I have a few Gap white tees (Essential Tees) from a year or so ago that were just thick enough not to show my nude bra and I do like those quite a lot but I'm not sure the new ones are the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498259 Fri, 29 May 2015 17:39:51 +0000 unfrumped 1498259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that "classic" should be tailored, &nbsp;but can be easy-tailored fit these days. But not oversized. I love the look of a tucked T shirt that has just the right amount of ease and drape, not tight at all but not baggy or gappy. It's, um, classic! I can't wear most V-s and no scoops but look for non-choking "easy crewneck" styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498257 Fri, 29 May 2015 17:38:35 +0000 deb 1498257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Eddie Bauer.

The JCrew one is a bit thinner and more tailored (it's also quite long which is a plus for me). LLBean one is quite thick (white is not sheer at all). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498224 Fri, 29 May 2015 16:45:35 +0000 Isabel 1498224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that you nailed what a classic t shirt is. &nbsp;But you are also correct, IMO , that they are practically impossible to find. Particularly in white. I find the whites so see through. &nbsp;Some women I know have taken to wearing Hanes men's undershirts. &nbsp;I have read that some "fashion" people actually have the Hanes tailored. &nbsp;Apparently, that is quite common for t shirts. &nbsp;My classic has become the Nordstrom Caslon ruched t shirt. &nbsp;EXCEPT the white one which is too sheer. &nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-shirred-v-neck-tee-regular-petite/4065089?cm_mmc=Bing_PLA-_-datafeed-_-petite_women:tops:t-shirt_tee-_-326539_7&amp;mr:referralID=d1c03e33-0621-11e5-8635-001b2166becc"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-shirred-v-neck-tee-regular-petite/4065089?cm_mmc=Bing_PLA-_-dataf" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ca.....LA-_-dataf</a>...</a></p> <p>I bought the Zella t in white because it is a heavier T. &nbsp;It is just gorgeous and has cotton. &nbsp;But I lead a very casual life style. &nbsp;I am not sure that this could be used in a work setting, except under a jacket...maybe ?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/zella-z-5-tee/3494793?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=Mint+Vivid&amp;resultback=2188"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/zella-z-5-tee/3494793?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&#038;contextu" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ze.....8;contextu</a>...</a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-your-help---whats-a-classic-t-shirt-these-days#post-1498219 Fri, 29 May 2015 16:35:52 +0000 Helena 1498219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, a question for you - what is a "classic t-shirt" these days? To me, it's a tailored cut in a non-see-through/non-slub fabric with simple neckline in a flattering color. However, these seem to be few and far between, with looser cuts and gauzier fabrics dominating the scene. Am I off-base? What would you say is a classic t these days? And where would one find such a beast? Thanks! </p>
