They may be a humble basic, but the best T-shirts for women don’t take a backseat in the styling department. Whether you need a breezy crop top to wear with shorts, a midweight tee for pairing with trousers, or a baggy shirt for pairing with your comfiest sweatpants and white sneakers, this wardrobe essential vibes with practically any outfit and occasion.
The only issue? Most of us don’t have unlimited space (or funds) for all the T-shirts we want to add to our closet. There are near-endless options for necklines, materials, and fit, and every brand claims to make the “perfect tee.” But you need to make your coin count. That’s where Glamour comes in. We waded through thousands of options—recommendations from our staffers, picks from our favorite brands, and plenty of internet-famous styles—to find the best ones.
After checking in with Glamour editors about their absolute favorite finds, we pulled together our edit of the absolute best T-shirts for women that are worth adding to your everyday lineup. From classic crewnecks to baggy, comfort-forward options, your next favorite T-shirt is just waiting for you somewhere on this list.

It’d be wrong of us not to lead with Amazon’s budget-friendly take on the basic crewneck T-shirt, which has more than 33,000 five-star reviews to back up its popularity. “Best. Decision. Ever!” one shopper says of this two-pack. “The material is thin but not see-through, stretchy, soft, and everything you want in a T-shirt. The length is perfect.” Sold.
Sizes: XS–XXL / Colors: Dozens of options / Material: 56% cotton, 38% modal, 6% spandex / Fit: Slim / Length: Crotch-length / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: This tee’s length and silhouette make it perfect for a casual tuck into jeans; go slightly off-center and let the other side and the back hang out.

If you’re not already a Skims loyalist, let this ultrasoft tee be your entryway. True to its name, it comes in plenty of sizes and with generous stretch to conform to any body size—and the material is undeniably soft. “It’s so cute, comfy, and genuinely flattering, making it the perfect basic piece to dress up or down,” raves Glamour associate beauty editor Danielle Sinay. “It’s also the literal only T-shirt I’ll wear in public, so do with that information what you will. My advice? Get several in different shades and style them with your favorite pair of baggy jeans. You’ll never be without an outfit idea—or uncomfortable—again.” Just note that it frequently sells out, so you might have to wait for a restock.
Sizes: XXS–4X / Colors: 11 options / Material: 76% polyamide, 14% elastane / Fit: Tight / Length: Hip-length / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: As Sinay says, this fitted top looks great with looser bottoms, including wide-leg jeans and flowy skirts. Keep your look elevated (and ready for virtually any casual occasion) with slim loafers and chunky gold earrings.

You probably have a few Hanes tees balled up at the back of your dresser—but none quite like this. The Perfect-T is the brand’s elevated take on the everyday tee, featuring slightly thicker fabric and a more tailored fit than the ones you typically find in its multipacks. “It’s soft and has a good fit that is not too tight or too loose,” one Amazon reviewer writes. Stick with classic white or choose one of 20 other colors.
Sizes: S–5X / Colors: 21 options / Material: 100% cotton / Fit: Relaxed / Length: Hip-length / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: This is about as basic as T-shirts get, so do anything you’d like—wear it under a blazer or cardigan, tuck it into trousers, or throw it on with sweats when you can’t be bothered.

Reformation’s vintage-inspired bestseller is knit with 100% organic cotton and features a relaxed look that pairs exceptionally well with jeans. It also happens to be Glamour editor-in-chief Samantha Barry’s absolute favorite T-shirt, along with several other staffers. “My hunt for the perfect white tee ended the moment I put on this one from Reformation,” says Alaina Chou, a commerce producer at Bon Appétit and Epicurious. “I have slightly broader shoulders and often wear high-rise pants, so I was after a shirt that wouldn’t tug at my armpits, hit right around my waistline, and had enough weight to it to drape nicely while maintaining some structure. Now I want it in every color.”
Sizes: XS–XL / Colors: 5 options / Material: 100% organic cotton / Fit: Relaxed / Length: Hip-length / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: Wear this tee with any pants in your collection—or maybe a denim midiskirt if you’re feeling adventurous. Try court sneakers, trendy slingbacks, or pointed black booties to keep its luxe vibes going.
Abercrombie’s loose T-shirt hits right at the hip and looks like true vintage, meaning it pairs well with denim of all stripes. Glamour senior news & entertainment editor Sam Reed owns three: “I’ve used them as a layering piece under sweaters and also worn them on their own. The boxy fit is just loose enough to be comfy but not so big that tucking is a problem. Just a solid, versatile piece!” she says. And while the brand has been dinged for including a high percentage of artificial fibers in some of its other clothes, this T-shirt is made entirely of cotton.
Sizes: XXS–XXL / Colors: 5 options / Material: 100% cotton / Fit: Loose / Length: Hip-length / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: Like we said, this shirt pairs well with pretty much any pair of jeans; fitted pairs contrast nicely with the tee’s more relaxed cut, while looser jeans maximize your comfort level. Either way, wear it with sneakers for your next low-key day.
You can buy the women’s version of this soft, refined tee from Uniqlo, but our staffers prefer the men’s cut. “[It’s] heavyweight enough to not be see-through, and it keeps its structure but isn’t bulky,” says Kelsey Hendershot, a senior manager at Vogue and Allure. And Glamour shopping editor Jake Smith says that it only gets better with each wash; he’s owned a few of them for years and “they’re still pretty much like new—the necklines don’t stretch and the material is still soft.” (They also look great under a black blazer.) Plus, both say the brand offers impressive quality for the price. Pro tip: Go a size or two down from your usual.
Sizes: XXS–3XL / Colors: 10 options / Material: 100% Supima cotton / Fit: Relaxed / Length: Hip-length / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: Thanks to its body-skimming (but not too tight) cut, this is one of the most professional tees on the market. Wear it under a cardigan or a blazer at the office.

“I own and love a similar tee from Banana Republic, and I’m truly impressed by the quality—after a few washes, it’s lived-in rather than run-through,” Glamour’s Smith says. “The cotton is thick and feels luxurious, adding a little drama to any standard outfit; the slightly exaggerated sleeves are so editorial. Mine looks great with sweatpants and long pleated skirts alike.” Best of all, it’s available in petite sizing and three core colors: black, white, and on-trend butter yellow.
Sizes: XXS–XXL / Colors: 3 options / Material: 100% cotton / Fit: Oversized / Length: Hip-length / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: Try this one with pleated trousers or straight-leg jeans to keep your outfit structured. (It’s also a great pick for lounging at home with pajama pants, just saying.)

Meet the ultimate do-everything shirt—even if that means you’re wearing it to do nothing. The secret behind this much-loved fit (besides the dropped shoulders and curved hemline) is the 100% breathable cotton fabric, which drapes beautifully and is lightweight without being see-through. Whether you pair it with your trusty black leggings or sharp, structured trousers, it’s perfectly low-key.
Sizes: XS–XL / Colors: 21 options / Material: 100% cotton / Fit: Oversized / Length: Cropped / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: Because this tee is both cropped and oversized, it’s an ideal contrast to more fitted bottoms like leggings, bike shorts, and slim sweatpants.

“Style-wise, this T-shirt is the perfect complement to a pair of baggy jeans,” says Glamour commerce producer Leilani McQuay. “The stretchy fabric ensures both a flattering silhouette and ease of movement. It's incredibly comfortable and soft against my skin. Available in 16 colors and priced under $30, it’s a no-brainer.” That stretch comes from a bit of elastane thrown into the mix—but there’s enough cotton to ensure that this pick won’t fall apart after a few washes.
Sizes: XXS–2XL / Colors: 16 options / Material: 94% cotton, 6% elastane / Fit: Fitted / Length: Hip-length / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: Styling tees is a game of contrasts, so offset this more fitted top with looser bottoms—say, straight-leg jeans or roomy white denim.
“This is the best T-shirt ever,” says Kathleen Thomas, Glamour’s associate fashion editor. Why? “It’s not too short and not too long. Somehow Leset has cracked the code for every torso. It’s the perfect throw-on tee with jeans—or under a sweater where it peaks out just enough.” On top of being made from luxurious, durable cotton—a midweight knit that’ll age beautifully—it fits just as an everyday tee should: form-fitting, but with a subtly boxy silhouette that looks timeless. It’s no surprise, then, that A-listers like Taylor Swift, Margot Robbie, and Julianne Moore have all been spotted in it.
Sizes: XS–XL / Colors: 3 options / Material: Cotton / Fit: Relaxed / Length: Hip-length / Care: Hand wash
Style tip: This pick hits just slightly above the hips, meaning it’s great for showing off high-waisted trousers and mid-rise jeans; take a page from the street-style playbook and try trendy barrel denim.

Made from the same ribbed fabric as Madewell’s best-selling best-selling tank, this relative newcomer has become an instant favorite among the brand’s fans. The stretchy fabric is fitted without making you feel constricted, much like your favorite tank top, and it comes in a wide variety of colors without a dud in the bunch. Cap sleeves and a tight (but not constricting) neckline sell the shrunken effect even more.
Sizes: XXS–4X / Colors: 14 options / Material: Supima cotton, elastane / Fit: Tight / Length: Hip-length / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: Take a page from Hailey Bieber’s book and style yours with vintage jeans, chunky loafers, and crew socks to look like a ’90s supermodel.

This pick stands out from your usual plain white tee rotation with a slim fit and a thick, high-quality material, which give off just the right “I threw this on” energy—even if you spent an hour deciding on which denim skirt to tuck it into. The midweight fabric is made entirely from Supima cotton, meaning it’ll survive countless washes and only get softer as it ages. “I love the straight hem and the finished collar of the crewneck. Note that it's quite sheer, so I prefer to wear a cami underneath it ,” says Glamour commerce director Brie Schwartz.
Sizes: XS–XXL / Colors: 7 options / Material: 100% Supima cotton / Fit: Slim / Length: Hip-length / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: Lean into this tee’s California-cool pedigree with vintage jeans in faded blue or chic ecru.
Want something form-fitting that doesn’t feel like being glued to a swath of cotton jersey? Enter Good American. “This tee is my go-to errands shirt; it pairs perfectly with a loose or baggy jean. It fits so well and is such a good option, too!” says Teen Vogue associate editor Aiyana Ishmael. “Its fit is a bit cropped, so it’s a fun shirt if you want to add a bit more spice to your look.”
Sizes: XS–5XL / Colors: 8 options / Materials: 93% cotton, 7% elastane / Fit: Tight / Length: Hip-length / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: Go trendy with loose-fitting cargo pants or jeans; Instagram will eat it up.

Gap is one of our favorite places to stock up on basics, like this organic cotton top. “This tee is under $20, available in so many colors, and something I can wear year-round,” says Glamour commerce writer Andrea Navarro. “In warmer months I can wear it alone since it’s so breathable, and in fall and winter I can layer it with other pieces and still be super comfortable.” Better yet, it’s available in three lengths: regular, tall, and petite.
Sizes: XXS–XXL / Colors: 9 options / Materials: 100% organic cotton / Fit: Relaxed / Length: Hip-length / Care: Machine wash
Style tip: This is a tucking tee through and through—whatever bottoms you end up choosing, it’ll look best tucked into them.
