The 10 Best Women's T-Shirts Our Editors Live In and Swear By (2024)

Market director Rae Ann Herman says she always wears J.Crew tees. While the brand has a solid core collection of classic cotton crewnecks and V-necks, it's the 100 percent linen T-shirt that steals the summer show. It has a relaxed crew neckline and room to move for hotter days when you don't want to feel too constricted.

Sizes: XXS to 3X · Neckline: Relaxed crewneck · Colors: White, heather natural, neon flamingo, neon daffodil, heather blue, utility green, roasted cocoa brown, royal navy, and black · Material: 100 percent linen

Creative director Adam Glassman recommends Bombas tees for their supreme softness and their moderate price point, especially for the three-pack bundle. Crafted from 100 percent Peruvian pima cotton, the fabric feels smooth and almost silky to the touch. The material is also opaque, so you won't have to worry about anything showing through.

"J.Crew and Gap are usually my go-to's for a classic V-neck cotton T-shirts," says deputy visual director Allison Chin. "They're perfect for layering under a sweater or cardigan in colder weather, and then breathable when worn alone in warmer weather. I always have some basic neutral colors stocked in my closet."

Partial to a comfy classic that won't break the bank? "When it comes to T-shirts, I prioritize comfort, and I just love the feel and versatility of Hanes," says editorial assistant Sofia Lodato. "They're good value, sturdy, and pair with everything casual." Lodato's pro tip? "I also prefer to shop in the men's section for T-shirts because I find the quality and fits are generally better and tend to last longer!"

For those with larger torsos, finding a tee that's long enough to cover essential assets is key. That's where Athleta's breezy scoop V-neck comes in. Commerce editor Angel Madison vouches for this elevated everyday style. "I have a few of these that I love," says Madison. "The fabric is great, and I like that they are little long, which makes me feel comfortable at the gym without worrying it will ride up!"

"T-shirts are the hardest things," says e-commerce and SEO manager Aaron Radford-Wattley. "The fabric has to be thin and fine for me, not thick and bulky. I must say, I have been impressed with Banana Republic's tees. They fit and wash well and are never that expensive." This slub crewneck has a softer, wide neckline that reveals a flattering section of the collarbone.

When we surveyed the Oprah Daily office, Uniqlo tees turned out to be a cult hit with our editors. "There is nothing basic about Uniqlo's U crewneck T-shirts," says associate editor Shelby Copeland. "These are so high-quality that they really do seem more elevated. I love the material. It's soft in 100 percent cotton, but it's also really thick. After many washes, the quality and shape of the tee neither fades nor loses its shape. It's officially my go-to T-shirt."

"Three Dots tees always look crisp and polished, whether you're layering them or wearing them alone," says copy chief Stephanie Makrias. While you can't go wrong with any of the brand's neckline offerings, this gentle scoop neck is ideal for those looking for a more feminine look. Instead of a boxy or relaxed silhouette, this style is cut to be more fitted throughout.

"I always lived in Uniqlo men's tees until I tried Buck Mason's," says fashion editor Sara Klausing. "I see the Supima cotton styles everywhere—and while those are great, my personal preference is the classic-fit slub easy tee. It's a little heavier than the Supima. There's a light texture that's super soft but durable. It's also impossible to keep bright whites looking the same over time. This is a warmer white that looks like I bought it from a vintage store and will only get better with time."

Digital director Maggie Maloney says, "It's super comfortable, which is a huge must, but the main reason I love it is that it works for any occasion. I can wear a blazer over it and head to the office or I can wear it with leggings and lounge all day at home. It's so easy to wear that it's actually my go-to travel T-shirt—on travel days, the last thing I can think about is my outfit, so this is a no-brainer!"
