I have a t-shirt problem!!! Yes, I need some sort of intervention. And these are not even duplicates of the same brand nor style. On the bright side, I did purge about 10 items. Since I stopped wearing button downs about 2 years ago, my love of the tee has rekindled. Retirement has had a lot to do with this change but the tee style selection now is wonderful. There is the straight across hem, the shirt tail hem, the split seam hem, the tunic, etc. And do not get me going on the neckline and sleeve styles. Anyway, I am on top diet.

Wow, what a beautifully organized assortment! I love how you've lined them up by colour family. It looks like you have a lot of closet space!

You are totally right, there’s so much variety available now. At least your preferred colors are consistent...?

I love the variety in your t-shirt collection. Great colors. But my favorite is the variation in your striped tees.

As long as you wear and love them all, I wouldn't consider it a problem;-) And yes, the variety in styles, patterns and colours these days is brilliant, and they can be so practical and easy to wear!

Beautiful selection. I personally love tee shirts Based on what I see, you do not need an intervention.

Good for letting go of 10 pieces! As you have mentioned, tee shirts have such a variety of details these days! When I retire, I am sure my outfit choices are going to change and I may very well be parting with some styles of tops and adding more tees. Maybe tee shirts are essential to your outfits?

Yes... a person could easily get hooked on tees with the incredible variety available. I think your collection size is fine if tees are your main staple top garment.

Deb, tees are so useful, and I totally understand the logic behind wanting different collars, hem lines and lengths. They work as anchor pieces for your outfits. I store my tees folded in a drawer, Kondo style instead of hanging, and I probably don’t have as many, but knits/sweaters are the key to my style, so tees are used mostly as undergarments. Tees are key to your style so I don’t think you have a problem.

I think this looks terrific - beautifully organized, and everything seems to coordinate - it's only too many if it's bothering you OR you've run out of space OR you're not wearing them ... but if you are enjoying and using, then carry on I say!

You love them, wear them, have space for them and keep them beautifully organized. I don’t see a problem.

Well deb, in your defense, you DO live in CA, so these are your "sweaters". I see no problem in theory.

That said, TRY them all on again and make sure you LIKE them. Tees don't have a long life span.

Reds, blues, stripes. They’re beautifully arranged, and you look like you have plenty of space. What’s the problem, again?

I've just recently learned to appreciate the value of a fitted, warm t-shirt in a heavier cotton. I didn't own a single long sleeved t until last month, and really like how they look and wear. I'll take a few of yours off of your hands if you like Lovely closet too !

Very pretty. My favorite thrift store is organized by color and I love just looking at the racks. I have tee and tank problem. I have a zillion (seriously I'm scared to count) casual tees and tanks. They all fit but I only wear them on the weekends so they don't get a lot of wear.

I love tees. I probably wear tees 6 out of 7 days for 6 months. I’m going to count me later this month when I get around to Editing that section of my closet.
I’m impressed with how organized yours are!
