27 Excellent T-Shirts You Won't Want to Take Off

Karl Lagerfeld once said that "luxury is the ease of a T-shirt in a very expensive dress." That may be true, but we've also found the essence of luxury lives in the very best T-shirts.

A good T-shirt, like its relatives in the world of basics, is hard to find. Identifying the best is so fraught, and so subjective, entire brands have been launched to complete the quest for the perfect white crewneck. (And still, not everyone agrees that they’ve succeeded.) What makes crafting the perfect T-shirt so hard may be all the roles it needs to fill. The best T-shirt to tuck into straight-leg jeans isn't the best one to offset drapey menswear trousers—and neither of those is suited for an athleisure moment with leggings and a high ponytail.

There are some qualities that the best tees for women all have in common though: unparalleled versatility, long-lasting quality, and a sense of comfort so satisfying you won't want to take them off. No one T-shirt can do it all, but an edit of a select few will have you covered—and feel like everyday luxury. For every outfit, occasion, and state of mind, we've curated the 25 best women's T-shirts. Shop them all ahead.
