It is substantial enough that your bra doesn't show through. I wear mine under all my boat neck sweaters, but it could easily stand alone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1/page/2#post-1571219 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 22:44:18 +0000 Beck 1571219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For those recommending Uniqlo, is the size chart accurate? I'm looking at a solid XL based on their measurements, but I'm more often in a medium or large at other retailers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1/page/2#post-1571090 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 16:39:57 +0000 approprio 1571090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I buy a lot of men's tees (mostly with prints on at concerts) and it's true that the quality is far superior to their counterparts in womenswear. I wear them a bit loose with the sleeves cuffed and they work just fine.&nbsp;</p> <p>Why not try a few shirts from the men's department? Cut and fit varies, so you may find a shape that works for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1/page/2#post-1571088 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 16:28:46 +0000 kkards 1571088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for those will to spend a little more, I will also recommend this brand, Boxie, made in US, nice weight. </p> <p><a href="http://www.shopboxie.com/store/" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopboxie.com/store/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1/page/2#post-1571073 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 16:02:10 +0000 tammyw 1571073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For those that wear the vince Tshirts, can you wear white with just a bra? Is it really sheer, or pretty good in that area? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1/page/2#post-1570909 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 06:24:31 +0000 Wendi1984 1570909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Gap tees, and the Merona Ultimate ones from Target. I like the fitted tees from Old Navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1/page/2#post-1570896 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 04:37:46 +0000 CocoLion 1570896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe it but I have had EXACTLY the same issues with my Everlane U neck tees as Jenava. &nbsp;Stains don't come out, and small holes develop from semi-tucking.</p> <p>The best made cheap tees I have purchased have come from Uniqlo, Gap, H&amp;M and Urban Outfitters (the $25 range ones). &nbsp;Zara tees are the worst in my experience. &nbsp;Lose their shape, seams twist, and stains don't come out. &nbsp;For some reason, the better the fabric, the easier it is to remove stains.</p> <p>My Madewell tees are so-so, as are J Crew.</p> <p>Otherwise I have purchased really nice tees that hold up well from Three Dots and Velvet. &nbsp;Splendid are OK, but quality is not so different from Gap and cost more.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1/page/2#post-1570860 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 02:44:22 +0000 Suz 1570860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't wear tees very often except in summer, but I have that Vince tee that <b>Jeneva</b> mentions and it was such a great purchase. I got mine on sale, one in white and one in navy. At first I doubted my sanity (I am paying <b>what </b>for a <b>t-shirt</b>???), but it turns out these are fabulous as a winter layering piece that can also stand alone because of the interesting dropped shoulder and envelope neckline. The white one works with almost anything. And I can make the navy one into a faux dress with a navy skirt or a "jumpsuit" with navy crepe jogger pants. I do find the modal fabric is on the warm side, so for me these are fall/ winter/ early spring items only.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also have the same linen boatneck tees that <b>Bonnie G</b>. mentions. Those are great but quite sheer so you may need a cami or tank, especially with light colours like white. Having said that, they're amazing layering pieces. The linen has lovely drape.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1/page/2#post-1570858 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 02:40:18 +0000 Style Fan 1570858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 2 T shirts from 3 Dots that are several years old (at least 6) and are still going strong.&nbsp; They are on the short side but I love them.&nbsp; I bought 2 J Crew Ts last year and have been unimpressed with them.&nbsp; Great colours though.&nbsp; <br />I bought a very expensive T from Sarah Pacini last year that has been great.&nbsp; Lovely drape, washes well, perfect colours, nice scoop, kinda sexy.&nbsp; I think I will buy another one this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1/page/2#post-1570857 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 02:40:12 +0000 catseye 1570857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Boden scoop tee I had was great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570850 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 02:31:57 +0000 Bonnie 1570850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are right about how hard it is to find good tee shirts. I'm still wearing the linen painter tee shirts I got at J. Crew this summer (a few colors are still available and on sale) and have ordered some painter tee shirts for fall. I order a larger size and they fit the way I like. These shirts are often on sale. Looking forward to reading the comments you get for more recommendations.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570834 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 02:12:44 +0000 barbaraq 1570834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a huge fan of Uniglo! &nbsp;Great quality cotton and workmanship. &nbsp;I am about to replace a white on that got demolished on my recent trip to Spain, and am thinking I should order several.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570821 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 01:35:53 +0000 JAileen 1570821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ones I've liked the best are from Eddie Bauer. I have a lot of long sleeve crew neck EB tees that fit great and wear well. They aren't cut too low, and they don't make me look fat - from the cut on the sides. </p> <p>This spring I bought several short sleeve crew neck tees from Lands End. I don't like these as much. The knit is tighter or something, and it's more like wearing a woven shirt than a knit, and they make me look kind of blocky. At least they aren't too low cut. I have to give those away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570794 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 00:28:24 +0000 Carole 1570794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm watching this thread as I could use some replacements and seems favorites from the past aren't necessarily the same anymore! My most favorite t is from old navy but when I added others from there they just weren't the same! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570792 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 00:23:29 +0000 tammyw 1570792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've tried the 3 Dots, but honestly, they just aren't long enough for my liking. Otherwise, I think they would be quite nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570781 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 23:52:05 +0000 Jeanie 1570781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah yes, I am also on the eternal T-shirt search! I am remembering the days when my college roommate would have her parents send us Ts from Germany because they were made from the most amazing cotton.<br />I have T's from Gap, Madewell, Loft, Old Navy, Walmart, Target, Whole Foods &amp; Eddie Bauer. &nbsp;Out of these the only ones that didn't pill or get holes or some other malady are the Gap, Eddie Bauer &amp; Whole Foods. Still have not found t-shirt nirvana. &nbsp;Some people really like 3 Dots but that is getting to $50 a T. &nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570754 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 23:16:01 +0000 MrsK 1570754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have also had great luck with Gap's t-shirts and long sleeve shirts. I haven't bought any recently, but I've found I can count on the reviews of each product at Gap to be reliable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570724 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 22:00:38 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1570724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, I've had good luck with Dawn dishwashing soap directly on greasy/oily stains as a pretreat. Make sure you get the original blue Dawn, not a fancy 'flavored' one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570710 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 21:07:46 +0000 Jenava 1570710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm exactly the same! &nbsp;I really hate to spend more than $20 on a tee because I do wear them out and hate to have to re-buy something expensive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570708 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 21:02:43 +0000 tammyw 1570708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava - I seriously adore vince sweaters (my favorite, really) so I will wait for the next sale and then try their tshirts! Especially if they last, I bet I'll love them. I typically try to find a cheaper tshirt since they rarely last more than a season, but sounds like that's not the case with this brand, which would be great </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570687 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 20:12:24 +0000 Jenava 1570687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will also say, I struggle to find tees that aren't so low cut in the front. &nbsp;If I recall, Stem was very low cut and so I did not like them. &nbsp;Gap can be as well (although it's been several years since I've tried either). &nbsp;Everlane U-neck is the perfect scoop depth for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570686 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 20:09:54 +0000 Jenava 1570686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wearing Everlane U-neck 100% cotton tees for summer and spring. &nbsp;For some reason I find that if I get grease on them it doesn't come out (anyone have tips for getting this out? &nbsp;I've tried resolve and now oxyclean pretreatment on them; the oxyclean seems to work on fresher stains). &nbsp;I also find that if I wear them with jeans eventually they'll get that little tiny hole in the front. &nbsp;I do like the shape of them, though. &nbsp;they're a little bit a-line and a bit higher in the front than the back. &nbsp;i find the shape works really well for current styles of bottoms.</p> <p>That said, for winter I'm going to try Nordies BP. long sleeve scoop neck tees. &nbsp;I don't love that they have a VERY high polyester content, because I know that means they'll pill. &nbsp; </p> <p>But, Everlane's long sleeve tee is crew neck with a pocket (so not great for layering, esp. for big boobs!), and rayon, so it shrinks if you put it in the dryer. &nbsp;When I was pregnant I had the PERFECT long sleeve grey tee. &nbsp;Irony.</p> <p>I also wear this boatneck tee from Vince. &nbsp;I have it in three colors and it has lasted for several years. &nbsp;It's a bit clingy, so I am looking for something more loose, but it excellent for layering except where I need a scoop neck. &nbsp;It's also pricey, but worth it if you can afford it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570676 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 18:52:10 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1570676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Everlane tees I kept (I did one of their box try on things when they offered one) were the basic vnecks. They're thinner but I haven't had any problems with twisting or pilling, and I don't baby them. I agree that I wish their stuff was more consistent (and that they offered a wider variety of sizes; it's ridiculous that they don't even have XLs anymore).</p> <p>I had some Caslon tees from a few years ago that were great, but every year they seem to change the fabrication and they were really really thin this year. Lands End tees are really sturdy (ditto LL Bean) but they are so heavy that they don't look very current to me, rather dated.</p> <p>I haven't tried one of Boden's plain tees in a while but they might be a good option to try. Their knitwear is usually top notch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570668 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 18:32:30 +0000 Ginger 1570668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Sarah, I like Lands' End. I have several of their layering turtlenecks, which are wonderful and hold up very well; they have layering tees as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570650 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 17:50:44 +0000 Dee 1570650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the perfect tees from the Gap. 100% cotton and wear well over time. They only seem to come in solid colors, but they have crew and v-necks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570648 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 17:49:58 +0000 Elle 1570648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes the Banana Republic t's are amazingly cute and sturdy. &nbsp;Right now, they seem very flimsy but it's worth checking in a month or so when more of their "winter" stuff comes in </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570641 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 17:34:39 +0000 Sarah 1570641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For just a basic tee I really like the Landsend scoop neck. I have some from Target that aren't too bad either. Old Navy is totally hit or miss, I have a few that are great and I've had for years others that shrink or fall apart the first time you wash them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570634 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 17:30:24 +0000 tammyw 1570634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stephanie - I have liked some Stem items from Nordstrom, so I'll check them out. Plus I love the ease of shopping nordstrom (and getting points by using my card). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570632 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 17:28:56 +0000 Stephanie 1570632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loft is so hit or miss! I've had the best luck there but agree items can shrink horribly or get holes super fast...other tees wash fine and last a long time. I wish it was more consistent.</p> <p>Another forum member recommended the Stem tees to me from Nordstrom. I can't speak to them yet since I haven't ordered one, but I really like the drape...maybe it's worth trying? I'm planning on ordering one to try soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tshirts-1#post-1570624 Mon, 12 Oct 2015 17:11:59 +0000 tammyw 1570624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's good to know Duchess. Sounds like something for me to skip for now. I'm not one to gently wash my tshirts! </p>
