The Best T-Shirts for Women of 2024 (2024)

Everlane is known for its basic styles and wardrobe essentials, including this box-cut tee. We appreciate the color variety (18 options!) and frequent deals so you can buy more for less. You can also select a pocket tee in select colors. While we haven't tested this t-shirt, we're hoping to get hands-on with the top seller in an upcoming test of the best white t-shirts. It has a 4.6-star rating across over 700 reviews. One five-star review writes, "The material is so soft and comfortable on the skin. I have bought this t-shirt in multiple colors." The breathable material and relaxed fit are perfect for everyday wear, although the somewhat cropped length may not be everyone's style.

Sizes: XXS–XXL | Material: 100% organic cotton | Colors: White, black, heathered gray, heathered charcoal, vintage black and more

If you're shopping on a budget or looking to purchase multiple tees without spending too much, Uniqlo is our go-to brand for affordable, quality clothing. Another top-seller, this t-shirt has a snugger fit that's great for layering under sweaters. Textiles, Paper & Apparel Lab Product Analyst Grace Wu loves "the thick, substantial collar on the t-shirt — it makes it feel elevated." She also appreciates the Goldilocks fabric that isn't too thick or thin and likes that the tee is relatively opaque, so your favorite non-nude bra won't peek through. Wu does note that the t-shirt has a longer length that's great for tucking in.

Sizes: XXS–XXL | Material: 100% cotton | Colors: White, dark gray, black, pink, beige, brown, green, navy

Amazon is a great place for affordable shopping and quick shipping (two days if you're an Amazon Prime member). Amazon Essentials often appears in our style round-ups, and Home & Apparel Reviews Analyst Amanda Constantine has personally bought styles from the men's collection. We appreciate the cotton blend composition for all-day comfort. Multiple five-star reviews comment on how the t-shirt is thicker than expected, though not too thick for summer weather. One shopper does note that the white color is slightly see-through. Still, shoppers praise the tee's quality construction.

Sizes: XXS–XXL | Material: 56% cotton, 38% modal, 6% spandex | Colors: Black/white, black/white stripe, blue stripe/camel animal, blue tie dye/white, blue/coral orange and more

If you're a fan of Hanes bralettes and boxers, you'll probably love the t-shirts. The brand's tees are a hit among Amazon shoppers, accumulating over 46,000 online reviews. We like the lightweight cotton material for wearing on its own in warm weather or layering under a cardigan in the fall or winter. Shoppers praise the tee's appearance, quality and value. One five-star review writes, "These shirts are my go-to for work and simple outfits! They have a nice straight-form look and the sleeves are roomy!" Note that some Amazon reviews say the tee can shrink, so keep that in mind when ordering. We love that the women's t-shirt is available in sizes up to 4XL, but wish it came in sizes smaller than S too.

Sizes: S–4XL | Material: 100% cotton | Colors: Carolina blue, light blue, black, deep forest, deep red and more

At just under $60, Faherty's crewneck t-shirt is pricier than on other shirts in our guide. However, if you're looking for a vintage-style tee that has a lived-in feel and relaxed fit, the splurge may be worth it. It's only available in white, black and pink, but that makes the decision all the easier — and they go with almost everything. We are hoping to try this tee for ourselves, but online reviewers are loving the t-shirt. Shoppers appreciate the quality fabric and fit. One five-star customer even writes, "The colors are generous and go with more than I thought they would." Note that the brand recommends turning it inside out before washing it in cold water.

Sizes: XXS–XXL | Material: 100% organic cotton | Colors: White, washed black, peach whip

A boxy tee falls straight down and creates a square silhouette. Buck Mason's box-cut tee has a crewneck and is available in seven neutral colors. Similar to other tees on our list, this tee is garment-washed to give you that lived-in feel without any effort on your end. Wu notes that the t-shirt is relatively thin and super lightweight. While this is great for a summer tee, it may be less ideal for the colder months. To make sure you're really pleased with your purchase, the brand has a 365-day return policy so you can receive a full refund if you're not satisfied.

Sizes: XS–XXL | Material: 100% Supima cotton | Colors: Black, white, graphite, military olive, bronze Venice wash, birch Venice wash, feather grass Venice wash

Quince is all about stylish trends for less, including this $15 v-neck available in an array of gorgeous colors from neutral gray to bold burnt orange. The women's tee has an almost perfect rating of 4.8/5 across over 1,200 online reviews. One five-star review reports, "It is keeping its shape perfectly after washing plus no wrinkles." The shopper currently owns four but would love to see even more colors available. Other shoppers also say they've ordered more than one tee, and thanks to the budget-friendly price, your bank account (and closet) will be thank you. We've included Quince in multiple shopping guides and are excited to try out more styles from the brand in the future.

Sizes: XS–XL | Material: 50% cotton, 50% modal | Colors: Dark olive, dark gray, burnt sienna, light blue, olive, white, black, navy, heather gray, dusty pink

Constantine loves Gap for its variety of t-shirts in different lengths and necklines. There is also a great variety in color and patterns, which turns an everyday essential into an easy way to brighten up your look. The long-sleeve tee has a crew neckline and is made from a soft cotton blend. The brand says it has a loose fit, but you can always size down if you want it to fit more snugly. It's a top seller among Gap shoppers who find it fits true to size in the chest area but can run long. Five-star reviews praise the long-sleeve t-shirt's quality. One satisfied shopper writes that it's a "perfect fit and holds its shape while wearing instead of stretching out through the day."

Sizes: XXS–XXL | Material: Supima cotton-modal blend | Colors: Pink stripe, sugar pink, distant blue, amethyst purple and more

Our experts have reviewed a variety of Lululemon products from its Studio Mirror to maternity leggings and belt bags. Textiles, Paper & Apparel Lab Senior Analyst Emma Seymour owns three of these tees and wears one almost every week! "I especially love how they’re so smoothing. I can even go braless," she says. A tee you don't need to pair with a bra? Say less. The t-shirt features Lululemon's best-selling Nulu material that makes it super soft and snug. "It’s perfectly cropped at my waist, so it’s ideal to wear with high-waisted jean shorts or wide-leg pants," adds Seymour. She does note that she sized up for a less constrictive fit since the t-shirt is fitted and adds that the material isn't super moisture-wicking.

Sizes: XS–XL | Material: 9% nylon, 21% lycra elastane | Colors: Mojave tan, espresso, grenadine red, bone, french press, black

Vuori is another popular athleisure brand that's really popping off with its clothing essentials. The fitted tee has a higher price, but Seymour says it's her favorite ribbed tee. It's super soft and isn't as cropped compared to other tees, so it can be a more versatile staple. But the best part? Seymour has owned the tee for years and washed it countless times and finds that it's still in great condition — that definitely makes the price more worth it. The t-shirt has four-way stretch and is moisture-wicking — so you can wear it on sweaty days while traveling without fear of pit stains seeping through.

Sizes: XXS–XXL | Material: 87% modal rayon, 13% elastane | Colors: Black, white heather, laurel heather, white, hazelnut, sawyer, Mallorca

We've included J.Crew clothing in our round-ups of the best women's suits and bathing suits for women. While its preppier style may not match everyone's aesthetic, this relaxed tee is timeless for almost any style preference. Choose from striped patterns to bright and neutral shades. The crewneck is made from 100% linen, unlike other tees on this list that are made of cotton or cotton blends. Linen can wrinkle after washing, so make sure to machine wash cold and tumble dry on low or hang dry. J.Crew's site styles the tee by tucking it into a pair of wide-leg pants. The relaxed fit is conducive to other outfits too, though, whether you leave it untucked over slim-fitting pants or slip it on with a pair of leggings while running errands.

Sizes: XXS–3X | Material: 100% linen | Colors: Jade stripe black natur, Montauk stripe A evenin, white, neon flamingo, heather peri and more

Not only does this t-shirt come in inclusive sizing, but it's also available in two necklines, sleeve lengths and in petite. One five-star review calls it "easy to dress up or down" and another shopper says they "love the color, the weight and the durability." We like the soft fabric and the perfect length that isn't too long or short. It runs true to size and is designed to be wrinkle resistant as well. One shopper was not a huge fan of the fit as they found the shirt flared out rather than fit snugly along the waist, but they did appreciate that the neckline wasn't too low or too high — a difficult balance for v-necks.

Sizes: 4XS–4XL | Material: 48% Peruvian cotton, 48% modal, 4% elastane | Colors: Black, black cherry, crocodile, deep sea, evening forest and more

This top-seller has a 4.4-star rating across over 600 online reviews that say the t-shirt is a great fit. One five-star review says, "It lays exactly where I want it to, waist length. The fabric is wonderful, soft and of good quality." We appreciate the semi-fitted style for an in-between option that's available in 14 colors. Wu previously owned the v-neck version of this tee and found it to be comfortable, lightweight and not too thin. She does note that it isn't the most stretchy tee out there, but it's still a good option on a warm day.

Sizes: XS–3XL | Material: 100% organic cotton | Colors: Black, white, blush, chai stripe, dark forest and more

"I used to be a sales associate at Madewell, and these best-selling v-necks would fly off the shelves year-round. We were always restocking!" says one GH editor who has owned multiple colors over the years. More than 500 online reviews call it the "perfect t-shirt" thanks to its roomy sleeves, a soft feel and lack of shrinking after it goes through the dryer. One five-star review writes that the best part "is the thickness of the collar around the V. That brings it all home!"

Our editor finds that the v-neck can run large so you may want to size down for a snugger fit. Or go a size up for an oversized look that never goes out of style. You can snag a tee for less during sales, although note that discounted items have limited inventory.

Sizes: XXS–XXL | Material: Cotton | Colors: True black, dark palm, hthr iron, optic white, faded palm

A&F has impressed us with its collection of shirts and pants from editors' much-loved Sloane Tailored Pant to basic white tanks you can never have enough of. Similarly, the best-selling tee is a fan favorite with a 4.8-star rating across 1,590 online reviews. The seamless tee has a crew neckline and a snug fit with a cropped length. One GH Editor almost exclusively buys cropped tanks from Abercrombie, so we feel confident this baby tee would accidentally fall into her shopping cart as well. One five-star review even writes: "Love this shirt! I bought it in every color!" Note that some find Abercrombie's quality to not be as durable compared to other brands, with white basics needing to be replaced almost annually.

Sizes: XXS–XXL | Material: 95% cotton, 5% elastane | Colors: Taupe, brown, light blue, light gray, black, white, navy stripe

Our textiles experts have reviewed Skims clothing and reached the verdict that the brand sells pieces worth investing in. This tee has a 4.7-star rating online across close to 1,700 reviews from shoppers who call it "so comfy" and a "staple piece." One satisfied customer adds, "This is my absolute GO-TO!!! It’s the perfect shirt. I recommend it to all my friends. It’s so flattering and a great thickness." We like that the t-shirt is designed to be breathable and stretchy so you stay cool while bending in all directions during your workout routine. One shopper does note that you may want to size down for a less snug fit if desired.

Sizes: XXS–4X | Material: 90% cotton, 10% spandex | Colors: Marble, bone, light heather gray, mineral, kyanite, soot

Spending almost $100 on a singular tee may seem a bit out there. But we'll make the case for Rag & Bone's slim-fitting short-sleeve tee that has subtle stitch details along the color and back. What really draws us in is that brand's high-quality clothing is built to last. While you may be tempted by cheaper shirts, you'll most likely have to replace them more often. Customers also report that the t-shirt washes well, and one five-star review writes, "This is the best T-shirt I have ever bought!!! It is well worth the price. It fits me perfectly."

Sizes: XXS–XL | Material: 100% Pima cotton | Colors: Black, bright white, heather gray

Yes, a basic tee can be just that: basic, but there are still some style differences to keep in mind while shopping.

✔️ Material: Most t-shirts are made from a 100% cotton jersey material that feels soft to the touch and stretches just so for that classic tee fit. Cotton blends can be even softer, while synthetics are great performance materials that have better moisture-wicking capabilities. Fitted tees may contain spandex or elastane for extra stretch.

✔️ Neckline: Crewneck, v-neck and scoop are the three most popular necklines. Crewneck is the most classic neckline and fits closest to your neck. Meanwhile, a scoop neckline provides a little less coverage and has a U-shape. A v-neck has a neckline in the shape of a "V" with a point towards the chest.

✔️ Length: T-shirts come in different lengths. "Traditionally, tees are designed to hit just below the waistline to easily tuck into your favorite jeans or leave undone for a more casual look, but many brands are opting for t-shirts with cropped hemlines," says Constantine. Think about whether you want to show a bit of your stomach or have the option to tuck in your tee. Seymour recommends shoppers "look at the t-shirt’s length before purchasing, especially if you are tall or petite to ensure a proper fit."

✔️ Fit: "Women’s t-shirts tend to be slimmer cut, which is meant to emphasize your shape without feeling too restrictive or too bulky," explains Constantine. More formfitting tees will flatter your curves, and boxy tees have a modern, squared look. For a more rounded look, Constantine recommends a relaxed tee that fits looser or has an oversized fit.
