Too tight?

I was in the same position as you earlier this summer - what was up with all of these fitted t's from a few years ago? I got rid of all but one black and one white (for under things).

I'm with toss too....I'm not liking my fitted things anymore.

Do you wear t shirts under sweaters? I don't, so for me they wouldn't be worth keeping.

I recommend keep. To me these look perfect for both lounge wear and layering.

I ditto kkards. Mine are staples for lounge, working out, sleeping, layering.

Yup. Time to get rid of them. Nothing wrong with them, per se, but the fit is not current. I wear tees like this that are in good shape in my sleepwear capsule.

Toss. I find these fits even less fun for loungewear. Keep for layering if one is a key color or neckline style for a specific outfit.
I just went through a similar exercise. I actually had some in 2 sizes, for under or on own. In most cases I was able to see that the easier fit would work for both. I am, however, trying not to skew totally slouchy or oversized-- same with sweaters. Some classic easy tailored fits i might not be wearing as much This month I'm still keeping around. For now am identifying all of those too- snug fits that I think will sti be appealing to ME even if fashion would swing back that way.
For one thing it is getting easier to see that I can only wear so many anyway and will want the refresher summer T here and there anyway. So I'm seeing its crazy to " save" nice knit tops in current fits lest one get a spot. I try to get my casual items at reasonable prices and I should just wear them ( not talking for house painting or spading the garden, but for usual everday). So then I really don't need many 3- rd stringer items.

Oops, meant to type too- snug fits that will still be UNappealing.

I actually think the shape is flattering on you.....whilst not trendy at the moment I don't think it is awfully dated.
I would wear under jackets or for layering mostly.. I do like a fitted tee under some flowing toppers or even a blazer.
I would also wear with shorts for casual wear - in the garden, summer holidays, exercising etc...

I think that this tee would look better if it were tucked—I think that what bothers me is that you can see the underlying zipper and button from the shorts. BUT I also think that this tee would look better with looser bottoms rather than with other fitted items, such as the shorts shown here. I just bought some chinos (basically pants that are cut like boyfriend jeans and are on the baggy side), and I think that my fitted tees work great juxtaposed with the looser bottoms.
