Amazon Prime Day is here again! And while some may be eyeing big-ticket items like speakers or patio furniture sets, we want to take it back to basics, literally. Prime Day is a great time to stock up on the articles of clothing that aren't front of mind when going shopping, but that are in heavy daily rotation—think socks, underwear, tanks, and tees. Act fast, though, since the Prime Day discounts will only last a couple of days—from Tuesday, July 11, to Wednesday, July 12, to be exact.

Amazon has basics from classic brands, like Calvin Klein and Hanes, available in multipacks to give you the best deal when you’re in need of a complete restock. From undershirts for summer to everyday socks for the office or gym, we’ve rounded up our favorite deals on the best men’s basics happening during Amazon Prime Day to keep your ’fit looking and feeling fresh—even if you’re the only one who notices.

Short Sleeve T-Shirts (4-Pack)

The classic white tee that Michael Jordan loves to tell people he’s wearing on planes. (Do y’all remember those commercials? Just me?)

Hanes tees come in multipacks and have a 100% cotton composition for comfort and breathability. They have a regular fit for mobility and are also tagless, so you're not having any neck itching or discomfort.

These tees are on the lighter side and good for wearing as a base layer or on their own in the warmer months. They also use a double-needle construction for added durability.

Tank Undershirts (6-Pack)

These tanks are made from 100% cotton with the classic silhouette you're accustomed to from a rib-knit tank top. The material is soft, but beware the white is sheer so they're best used as undershirts.

They have a long length that provides enough coverage and can be tucked in for a cleaner look or when you don't want a shirttail in the way. They'll stretch over time because of the cotton construction, though customers mention the stitching is surprisingly sturdy and holds up after multiple wash cycles.

Heavy Cotton T-Shirt (10-Pack)

Gildan's heavyweight tees have a slightly boxy fit and a tubular construction—meaning there are no side seams—for a comfortable fit. The 5.3-ounce weight makes these super durable, and the wide rib collar keeps its shape and won't look wrinkled after only a couple of washes. They come with a tearaway tag so you won't have any itching at the neck and these are machine-washable for easy cleaning.

If you want an even boxier heavyweight tee, Gildan sells these two packs as well.

Trunks (5-Pack)

I prefer trunks to boxer briefs, and these have been my go-to for over a decade. The trunk length is slightly shorter than boxer briefs; they’re also great for the summer months if you’re a fan of shorter shorts and don’t want your underwear peeking out, but aren’t going to throw it back to tighty whities.

The waistband is a comfortable width and doesn’t roll down, and the mid-rise hits at your waist—just as you’d expect from boxer briefs.

Performance Crew Socks, 12 Pairs

An everyday sock that can double for the gym and exercise, these crew socks have a moisture-wicking cotton-polyester blend to keep your feet dry and comfortable. There's extra cushioning on the heels and forefoot so these are great for running or walking, and the mid-calf length won't bunch down and cause uncomfortable rubbing at the back of your heel.

They have a similar construction to the Nike Dri-fits without the branding (which I personally prefer).

Knit Boxer (3-Pack)

These update the classic boxer silhouette with a straight leg and short length so that they're still comfortable without being billowy. The elastic waistband offers a secure and comfortable fit and they include the traditional button fly. These are knit cotton instead of woven, making them more breathable and giving them a softer feel.
