Does anyone else find it unbelievably difficult to find a decent cotton tee? It seems as if they're either mom-fit crew necks from Target or a perfect LNA dream costing a little less than $100. Ridiculous, yes?
If I had my choice, I would have a nice drawer full of loose and soft Splendid tees- the perfect piece to undermine a dressy blazer or throw on with a pair of jeans. Such a drawer, though, does not exist (at least not in my closet).
It's hot here in the South. I can hardly think about being outside without shivering (oddly enough) with disgust at the idea of my face melting off and my clothes sticking to me. Thus, I have been quite the t shirt aficionado this summer (note: not the XL sorority version).
My collection, though, is rather sparse. I have maybe two tees that I actually like to (and regularly) wear.
So here are two lessons for you: the usual cue from some of the best-dressed style bloggers on how to translate the tee look to your own daily wear, and a nice little compilation from myself on where to get them.
As essential as they may seem, the t shirt is, after all, just a t shirt. There's really no reason to break the bank, is there?

I find it literally impossible to find a good t-shirt that I can dress up or down. I love the looks you showed--I think I'm going to have to pick up one of those J.Crew shirts.

What a fantastic post! I'm going to stock up on a bunch for grad school. Great over blazers and such and comfortable and tailored. Adding this post to the weekend note links :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the #1 piece I'll be stocking up on for fall. Old Navy actually makes amazing v-necks that are super duper cheap - and if you like to get a new one every month, Style Mint is great, too! I also love the ASOS striped tee you picked. :)

We're on the same page, I'm from Houston. So, a tee is best option for Summer, but you're totally right, it can be diffucult to find the perfect tee, especially if you want to still look fashionable (instead of say, ah la grunge). Anyhow, I really appreciate this post and will be checking out the Splendid tee ASAP.
