The Best T-Shirt Brands for Ultra-Plain, Super-Chic Crew Necks

Hunting down the best T-shirt brands is like searching for the holy grail of fashion. Such is the importance of the quest for many fashion lovers. Here at Who What Wear, we're always being asked where you can find perfect tees to add to your wardrobe staples. First, it's worth reminding ourselves of the requirements that make an incredible T-shirt. For starters, they should fall just right—not too clingy and not too loose, unless you're after the oversize look. Other factors include it being in a solid color (with the exception of the Breton) for maximum styling options. Our preferences are tees in black, white or gray—although other hues are acceptable as well. (Wild, we know.)

Finally, there is one last trick that we highly recommend when on the hunt for this basic: Try shopping outside of the women's department. The men's section (or just head over to Mr Porter) can be a trove of T-shirt wonders, particularly if you're looking for a style that you might want to cinch with a belt. For that reason, we've rounded up the very best T-shirts you can locate—from high-street options to designer ones. Click through our gallery to shop from our favorite T-shirt brands.
