29 Best T-Shirts for Women 2024, Tested & Endorsed by Editors | Glamour

They may be humble, 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, and that’s where we come in. We waded through thousands of tees—recommendations from our staffers, picks from our favorite brands, and plenty of internet-famous options—to help find the best options.

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.

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.

Made from the same ribbed fabric as Madewell’s best-selling Brightside 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 white tank top, and it comes in a wide variety of colors without a dud in the bunch. 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.

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.

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.

“This year, I’m giving my baggy, oversized tees a break and reaching for more form-fitting tops,” says Glamour commerce writer Andrea Navarro. “I love that this one looks so smooth once you slip it on, and I can easily keep it tucked into my jeans or pants without worrying about it bunching. It’s not too sheer nor too thick, making it a great year-round piece.”

Sizes: S–L / Colors: 4 options / Material: Cotton, elastane

You can buy the women’s version of this soft, refined tee from Uniqlo, but two separate 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 writer 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 new.” (They also look great under a black blazer.) Plus, both say the brand offers impressive quality for the price.

Nailing the off-duty-model look is as easy as throwing on this slim-fitting baby tee, which is long enough to tuck into high-waist jeans or trousers for a chic, minimalist silhouette. The nylon-elastane knit is ever so slightly compressive, gently sculpting your body without being too tight. Yet another gem from the Abercrombie & Fitch-aissance.

Sizes: XXS–XL / Colors: 5 options / Material: Nylon. elastane

Reformation’s vintage-inspired bestseller is knit with 100% organic cotton and features a relaxed look that pairs exceptionally well with jeans. “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: 8 options / Material: Organic cotton

This pick stands out from your usual plain white tee rotation with upturned muscle sleeves, 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 supersoft fabric has just a touch of give, and it’s available in colors both classic (white and black) and trendy (tomato red).

J.Crew’s high-quality henley fits in with the rest of its preppy offerings: It’s unique and stylish without drawing too much attention to itself. Whatever you do, don’t button it all the way; leave at least two buttons undone for a lived-in, utilitarian vibe. Style it with cargo pants at Sunday brunch, then swap in some cozy pajama bottoms at night.

If you spend your days scouring thrift stores for single-stitch T-shirts, Alex Mill’s cotton tee is right up your alley. It features an old-school cut and textured cotton meant to evoke the feeling of a well-loved staple. “I never had a go-to tee until I stumbled upon the Alex Mill Scout tee at their store on Mercer Street,” says Katarina Kovac, a commerce producer at Architectural Digest. “The mix of cotton and recycled yarns gives it a heavyweight texture that feels like it will last for 30 years, and I’ve since bought it in five different colors. An 11 out of 10 for me!”

Sizes: XS–XXL / Colors: 5 options / Material: Cotton

This fitted base layer would look great with a pair of trousers or under a sweater vest—and thanks to the fact that Hanes is so budget-friendly, you’ll probably be able to snag all of your favorite colors. Just note that the sizing runs small and these tees can shrink in the wash, according to reviewers, so go a size or two up if you’re on the fence.

It’s hard to get bored with Everlane’s staples, and this boxy, 100% organic cotton T-shirt is proof. Beyond the usual white, black, and gray, more offbeat colors like rose and pepper ensure that you’ll never run out of ways to wear the silhouette. Look no further for a classic tee you’ll want to wear just about everywhere. (Plus, when you order two, you’ll get a third for free.)

When you’ve run through all the cheaper options and you’re willing to spend on a truly great tee, Vince is where to look. “This is truly the best if you’re looking for a basic T-shirt to last you some years,” raves Ashley Signore, an executive assistant at Condé Nast. “It’s true to size, not cropped, not too long, and the sleeves are perfect—not like your dad’s T-shirt that has abnormally large short sleeves.”

No surprise here: Free People excels at slouchy, oversized tees. This is the absolute flowiest T-shirt we’ve encountered in our travels; while the neckline is structured, the rest of the garment drapes and falls across the body with abandon. Layer it over your yoga gear post-class, or pair it with your favorite pair of cozy sweatpants—this tee is meant for relaxing. (But we won’t blame you if you wear it to Coachella anyway.)
