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.
