I'm very partial to both the Arket and COS shirts, but then I like the heavy and structured feel of a thick T-shirt and I'm in Europe, where they are actually quite affordable (39€/29€). I have also had mine for 3+ years and they are still looking great. BTW Thank you for the bra test. For me that's the most important factor when buying white tops.

I bought the COS T-shirt a few years ago, and I LOVE it. Of course, I live in the US, so it was about half the price for me. 🙃 I love how heavy-weight it is, and it looks great when I wash on cold, line dry, and then throw in the dryer for 5 minutes with a damp cloth. Comes out looking awesome. Thanks for the review, because a great white tee is hard to find! Guess I need to try out the Everlane one!

My favorite is actually the Amazon Made For You Tee. It’s inexpensive but it’s custom fit to your measurements and you can give it all sorts of little customizations like the length, the sleeve length, the neckline, etc. there’s two fabric choices, 100% Pima cotton and tri-blend cotton, and a few different color choices. I don’t know anything about sustainability with Amazon clothes but this tshirt is my absolute favorite and I wear it all the time, and it’s $25 which is so worth it for the customization

I love Banana Republic's Cozy Slub t shirt - it's a little sheer, but it's 100% cotton and the softest tee I've ever worn. Also, the cut is perfect for my body type. I don't look great in super boxy, slouchy styles, so I love the way BR's cozy slub tee skims my curves and looks fitted without being skintight. Because the fit is so perfect, it looks amazing with every single pair of jeans I own and wear on a regular basis: skinny, bootcut, flare, and straight. Literally the perfect tee for me.

That being said, they do lean towards more oversized styles so as a petite, there's a lot of trying on before I find something I don't feel I'm drowning in 😅 Other good basic tees are the ones from SAMSØE SAMSØE (another scandi brand 😉) - Thanks a lot for this video!

I've had many for 5+ years. I did comment earlier that I gave up on white tees, which is true for the most part bc I'm clumsy and tend to need quite a relaxed fit because of my chest & shoulder area. But other colors and patterns have been staples in my wardrobe for years :) I wait for their $5 US sales and grab 1-2 every couple of years.

For my basic asket, I will not get tired of advising it and I have had many brands. Of course, the men's section asking for size advice by email so that the Fit can be adapted, but they are the best I have found by far. I already want a white t-shirt with Malo details from sezane, but the pity is that they don't have them now, I keep mine carefully and I'll replace them if they release one this year just in case. With drawing I recognize that the ones that Rouje released this year, the 100% thick cotton Timeo are very good. And striped Armor lux thick knit, although I don't know how shipping works outside of Europe. Those are the best I've tried and the most ethical Asket (you even see the workshops) and armor lux (totally French). I clarify that Arket and Asket are two different Swedish brands. Asket is sustainable capsule-based fashion where you will only find basic not trends or decorations, but very high quality

I have several Pact tshirts that I love. For me (in Colorado, US) they’re a local, fair-trade certified company that offers a great price point, good quality for grab-n-go spring/summer tee. They promote sustainability, and because they ship from one town over, my carbon footprint when purchasing is minimal (something I’m starting to think about more and more). The tees themselves aren’t super thick, so no black bras here, but nude works just fine.

I recently launched a search for a white T-shirt to replace a loose fitting v neck I loved by current/Elliot that they won’t make anymore. I ended up trying Rowan Tyler tees and love them. I wanted one that was kind of ‘50s marlon Brando, James dean classic, 100 percent cotton and not too tight or too loose. They say their cotton is pima cotton grown in California. I’m in the US though, but I’m very happy with them. The sizing for women is tiny though. I got large and even an extra large Tyler and it fits exactly like I wanted. First time I’ve ever bought an extra large!

I also like that the sleeves are a little bit longer and the body looks a bit longer too. I like to tuck them into my jeans and a lot of the other ones are just a bit too cropped for me.

Thanks for an interesting video. Interesting to see how different people feel about basics. I love the COS tees (they also do a nice striped tee and prices are not as bad in EU) and have one in white and one striped one that I wear quite a bit. I find the material holds up well and the thickness is good, as non-see-through is important for me. The more over-sized fit is also better for me and material is comfortable. I am not personally a fan of anything Uniqlo, I find it is the thinnest they can get away with and still look decent! Understand the appeal on price, I just feel it won't last at all.
