    28 Basic Tees You'll Want In Every Color Of The Rainbow

    As if you needed an excuse to stock up on basics.

    1. A sun-protection shirt as an extra layer of protection for all the outdoorsy things you do. Oh, and it wicks away sweat, too!

    2. An athleisure fit with a scoop neck for more air flow, no matter where you wear it. ~Air flow~ is so important, guys.

    3. A moisture-wicking beaut that'll keep you looking cool, calm, and collected by extremely famous but precariously positioned architecture. Plus, it has 2,900 five-star reviews!

    4. A loose-fitting ribbed tee that's ever so slightly cropped and has a V-neck, so you'll easily be able to keep your cool no matter the temp.

    5. A thin cotton number for those days when it's too hot to wear clothes but honestly you have to bc society.

    6. A classic jersey fit with an easy fit you can rely on when you're in a sartorial bind.

    7. A perfect V-neck ready to have your back (and front, and sides) the next time you're pressed for time picking out a top and need a solid option.

    8. A jersey shirt in 35 colors so if you can't find a hue you'd like then that's on you.

    9. A ~cool~ shirt built to avoid sagging through washes and wear. AND it has a longer shirt tail, which anyone with a long torso (ME!) will appreciate.

    10. A dry-fit performance tee you could get away with wearing any ol' day in case you're a sweaty person. ::raises hand::

    11. A box-cut tee in combed cotton that'll get softer with every wash and become a go-to in your rotation.

    12. A pocketed tee that, OK, maybe isn't "basic" exactly because it has a Carhartt logo on the pocket, but it's great quality and comes in a rainbow of colors.

    13. A pima-cotton looker with a slightly rounded hem for a basic that'll feel anything but.

    14. A maternity shirt that'll leave ample room for your bump without worrying about stretching out your pre-natal tops.

    15. A spill-protected option with an extra few inches on the tail to prevent any plumber's crack situations.

    16. A mock turtleneck with longer sleeves for a bit more coverage that won't sacrifice comfort.

    17. A comfy crewneck just begging to be paired with your fave statement collar necklace.

    18. A boxy number with rolled sleeves and a pocket as a super easy-to-wear option.

    19. An anti-odor merino wool tee, an investment made to avoid itch, odor, and any discomfort. Oh and you can wear it for DAYS according to many reviewers.

    20. A curved hem more or less built for an over-the-shoulder smolder.

    21. A cropped bubble number that'll show you're really on a ~roll~ with your sartorial choices lately.

    22. A swing tee as a stepping stone to mastering the French tuck.

    23. A slim-fit option you'll probably start wearing once a week because it's that good.

    24. A Shark Tank–famous undershirt with built-in underarm pads that'll turn moisture and body heat into vapor instead of unsightly sweat stains.

    25. A two-pack of slim-fit scoop necks because if you're buying one tee, you might as well buy another.

    26. An organic hemp top with inside-out details for a casual take that'll be more memorable than the other plain tees in your closet.

    27. A two-pack of no-show shirts, even in white! If you wear a bra, you know how annoying sheer white shirts can be....

    28. And a T-shirt bodysuit in case you've had it up to here when it comes to tucking your shirt into your bottoms.

    Feeling like you have your life together because you have some solid basics:
