Though I love V-shape and half sleeve ones but sometimes, full sleeves also give good vibes.&nbsp;</p> <p>Similarly, boat-neck tees also look trendy. By the way, these days, I am willing to do shopping for winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-summer-tees#post-2138003 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 02:42:20 +0000 bj1111 2138003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this review.

I also find Madewell tee very attractive in that saturated color ( little pocket isn't that much visible for me ). <br />I have some Old Navy tees from last year and before and so far happy with them ( wash well and very comfy ). So Old Navy drape tee could be a solid choice too. <br />All your pictures were so pretty - fun hair and great smile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-summer-tees#post-2137554 Sun, 09 Aug 2020 21:34:53 +0000 sylvie55 2137554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The results! No. 1 is a J. Jill Easy Tee. This was my favorite because it’s comfy, 100% cotton, and has what I think is the most flattering sleeve for me. Maybe a little long. No. 2 is the Everlane Box Tee. Very well made, but I returned because the body and sleeves are too short and the neckline too high. No. 3 is the Madewell Whisper Cotton tee. It’s the most comfy of the bunch. The body fits well, but the sleeves aren’t all that flattering and boob pockets are not my friend. It probably won’t be durable, but it feels delicious on. No. 4 is Old Navy Split-Neck Slub tee. Also very comfy but maybe too loose-fitting and probably won’t last. No. 5 is Uniqlo Drape Crew-Neck tee. I thought this one was the most flattering, but it has too much polyester for really hot days. All this has taught me the importance of the right sleeve - my HEWI is the diagonal sleeve Angie once wrote a great piece on. Length is hard to get right, too; I teeter on the edge of being petite at 5’4”. Thanks for playing. Which one is your favorite? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-summer-tees#post-2131089 Thu, 02 Jul 2020 12:43:41 +0000 sylvie55 2131089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thanks for all the brilliant suggestions! I have ordered some Uniqlo and Old Navy tees and am looking hard at the J. Jill twist-sleeve one as well as the Madewell pocket tee. I love the feel of the super-light cotton ones, but with 3 cats I’ll have holes within minutes. I’ll report back when the packages arrived. I knew you guys would come through! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-summer-tees#post-2130693 Tue, 30 Jun 2020 19:57:09 +0000 neatnic 2130693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>J. Jill is not usually my style, but I also desperately needed lightweight summer tees, so I decided to try their linen/rayon blends. So far, I love them! They drape well over a large bust, are relaxed in fit, very breathable, and seem to be better quality than other linen tees I've tried.&nbsp; Maybe it's the rayon in the blend that makes the difference. I air-dry them after washing in a mesh bag on the delicate cycle.</p> <p>I own these:</p> <p><a href="https://www.jjill.com/product/adriene-linen-rayon-crew-neck-te-190511s-1" rel="nofollow">https://www.jjill.com/product/.....-190511s-1</a><br /><a href="https://www.jjill.com/product/adriene-linen-rayon-crew-neck-te" rel="nofollow">https://www.jjill.com/product/.....ew-neck-te</a></p> <p>And have these on order:</p> <p><a href="https://www.jjill.com/product/linen-rayon-twist-sleve-te" rel="nofollow">https://www.jjill.com/product/.....t-sleve-te</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-summer-tees#post-2130687 Tue, 30 Jun 2020 19:03:38 +0000 Julie 2130687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the madewell v-neck cotton ones and wear them all the time. And the Eddie Bauer favorite tees too, but they are thicker. I am 34dd.

They are my go-to for colored tees and wash/wear nicely without fading.&nbsp; For basic white tee, I like them to be relaxed fit (not sloppy, but not hugging), not see-thru, but not thick. For that I like the Jockey Generation "stay new" men's tee. They wear like iron, are not heavyweight, but not thin enough to see your bra under it. Love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-summer-tees#post-2130560 Tue, 30 Jun 2020 07:33:13 +0000 notsaf 2130560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have exactly the same problem with short sleeved voops from Boden, and also love their longer sleeved ones! 32D here.

I really like Uniqlo’s 100% rayon sleeveless blouses, which are extremely lightweight, don’t wrinkle, wear like iron, and launder beautifully. Cheap as chips, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-summer-tees#post-2130528 Tue, 30 Jun 2020 02:20:21 +0000 sweet pea 2130528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This may sound crazy, but I really like the Old Navy relaxed tees.&nbsp; They are very soft and lightweight, yet they are not see-through.&nbsp; However, I must say that I haven't gotten any white Ts.&nbsp; I always get compliments when I wear them.&nbsp; Early in the season, they had a lot of pretty graphics.&nbsp; My one caveat for you is that I'm not a 34D, so I'm not sure how they might work for you.&nbsp; They are shaped, but since they are relaxed, they are not tight.&nbsp; Also, they have a gently scooped neck that is very comfortable and attractive without coming too low.&nbsp; I work with special education students and do a lot of bending, so I always have to wear something underneath lower cut shirts which defeats the purpose of a cool t-shirt.&nbsp; These do not have that problem but still look very feminine.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-summer-tees#post-2130523 Tue, 30 Jun 2020 00:59:22 +0000 Galatea 2130523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi!!!

Crew ones. I have a crewneck and a V-neck. They are really lightweight. They are somewhat delicate, so you might get just one season out of them. They're not too pricey if you get them on sale.</p> <p>I see that J. Crew also has some linen-blend ones. Those might be even better for the heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-summer-tees#post-2130417 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 12:32:18 +0000 Style Fan 2130417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in tees in the summer.&nbsp; We have very hot, humid weather.&nbsp; I really like RE/DONE tees.&nbsp; I wash them in cold water and hang to dry.&nbsp; I also like James Perse tees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-summer-tees#post-2130366 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 03:41:31 +0000 Beth 2130366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eddie Bauer's "favorite" tees are really good.

I have the V-neck pocket tee in several colors — it’s lightweight, flattering, and they have held up well to wear and laundering (I dry them a little in the dryer and then hang the rest of the way dry, which helps them last longer). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-summer-tees#post-2130324 Sun, 28 Jun 2020 21:19:00 +0000 Anonymous 2130324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Georgia summers sound hot and humid. I would avoid polyester,, and knits in general as they seem heavier than woven fabrics. For me polyester does not breathe and picks up sweaty odors, Cotton feels wet. I would look for nylon or linen or silk woven. A blend with nylon adds strength. Get a bit oversized fit to be more breezy. I would skip tees and go for tanks or something sleeveless as they feel cooler. Maybe a tank with a ruffle grown-on sleeve to cover the top of the shoulder. If they seem delicate, wash them in a lingerie bag in the washer and hang to dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-summer-tees#post-2130292 Sun, 28 Jun 2020 18:25:43 +0000 sylvie55 2130292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing lots of t-shirts while working (and cooking and cleaning and working out) at home, and have worn through my collection. I'm having a devil of a time finding short-sleeve tees that are light enough for Georgia summers but don't look sloppy (and can stand up to all the aforementioned activities). My fave long-sleeved ones are Voops from Boden, which are soft, sturdy, and lovely. But their short-sleeved ones seem too fitted and high-necked to flatter my 34D figure. What are your summer go-tos? Bonus points if they aren't terribly pricey, since I seem to be hard on them. </p>
