The lighter ones are a bit sheer for my taste but I love, love, love my dark ones (blue, green, maroon)- very soft, nice drape, machine wash and dry.

Speaking of blends, I've been surprised at how much I like a little poly - not too much - in my drapier tops. It means they won't wrinkle, they machine wash, and they're thinner than 100% cotton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tee-shirts-1#post-1471738 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 19:49:25 +0000 Inge 1471738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of these, but have no personal experience with any of them (Massimo Dutti is generally good quality thought). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tee-shirts-1#post-1471691 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 18:47:30 +0000 old chic 1471691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second what Jeweled says about the cotton-spandex blends. They are fantastic with jackets and business outfits. Look professional and are a lot more comfortable than many shirts and blouses. </p> <p>Unfortunately, slim spandex tees are less forgiving than more airily-cut all cotton. So now that I have a little extra around my middle, I am having to change my approach. For the much more casual lifestyle I have now, I am currently loving these very inexpensive, asymmetric, organic-cotton tees from zara so much that I bought in multiple colors. Haven't worn or washed yet (too cold here), so will have to see whether they hold up in use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tee-shirts-1#post-1471674 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 18:28:42 +0000 Jeweled 1471674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sterling, I love cotton-spandex blend tees.&nbsp; They hold their shape well, dry quickly after washing, and are extra comfy because of the spandex stretchiness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tee-shirts-1#post-1471640 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 17:44:49 +0000 Anonymous 1471640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For years I didn't wear tee shirts. &nbsp;I hated the feel of the&nbsp;cheap cotton or cotton blend against my skin. &nbsp;I also hated the way they hung shapelessly on my body. &nbsp;I never felt less fabulous than when I was wearing a tee shirt. &nbsp;</p> <p>This summer is completely differently. &nbsp;I am loving the fabrications like linen and pima cotton. &nbsp;I love the new shapes and the drape. &nbsp;</p> <p>So now that I know I do like wearing the RIGHT tee shirt, I am going to try to find a tiny capsule of tee shirts that I can wear as part of my work capsule. &nbsp;So far, I own a white one from Everlane. &nbsp;Love it. &nbsp;I have one from Madewell on the way. &nbsp;I hope I love it as much as AlaskaGirl does hers. &nbsp;</p> <p>If anyone has any other suggestions, I am excited to try them. &nbsp; </p>
