What Are Your Favorite T-Shirts for the Weekend?

Here’s a vitally important question for you: what are your favorite T-shirts for the weekend? (If you’re not wearing tees, what ARE you wearing instead?) As we had into summer, inquiring minds want to know!
(Me, I’m the inquiring mind.)
My favorite T-shirt for years was Caslon’s U-neck, which fit pretty similarly to the T-shirt in the stock photo. But they stopped making it, alas. They still have a V-neck, but the fabric seems to have changed a lot. Others that I also used to love have also changed or gotten harder to find, like Madewell’s Whisper tees… and of course the OG Everlane tees haven’t been the same in years.
In truth, I have an overflowing drawer with T-shirts largely in black. I’ve tried and liked a lot over the past few years — but I haven’t found one that is my ride or die. So I’m curious: what are your favorite T-shirts to stock up on as we head into spring? Which ones are you happy to pull out from previous years? Are there ones you always recommend to friends?
(We just updated our roundup of the best opaque white T-shirts for work yesterday!)
Casual, Weekend T-Shirts I’ve Tried in the Past Few Years…
- J.Crew Factory’s slub T-shirts (I don’t mind but a bit too thin) (I’m 90% sure I’ve got mostly the Essential tee, but I have at least one Girlfriend tee and dislike the neckline)
- Eileen Fisher T-shirts — I mostly have these in colors that I bought on sale — I like them but wear them less because they’re very colorful; I also wish they were a bit heavier weight
- Talbots Pima (nice thickness but a bit too clingy unless I really go up in size, which is no fun, and then they don’t fit quite right) — ditto for Pact and American Giant (I treated myself while buying my husband some new hoodies from there — highly recommend if you or a loved one is a fan of hoodies)
- Banana Republic Factory’s Timeless tees – I like these a lot, but is it just me or do they seem to get holes incredibly quickly?
- Old Navy’s tees — I feel like the vintage tees are too boxy, and if I remember correctly the Everwear tees have been inconsistent in terms of fabric and sizing
- Frame – like the weight and fit but I wish it were longer — so I’ve stayed away from other popular ones like Uniqlo, COS, and Leset.
I know, I am the Goldilocks of T-shirts. I want something comfortably loose that still looks polished enough to wear under a cardigan, sweater jacket or blazer… that isn’t too thin… that is ideally 100% cotton…
Readers, what are your favorite T-shirts for the weekend? Which ones are weekend only, and which can you layer under a cardigan or blazer for work? Does your answer change depending on what you’re wearing them with (e.g., high rise jeans, wide-leg pants, skort or shorts, maxi skirt…)?

Ooh: I love this walkable Mary Jane pump from Jimmy Choo.
For some reason I can see this looking particularly great with cropped pants — I am seeing a specific outfit in my mind right now but no idea where it’s from (movie? TV?), but there are plaid pants involved. I think it would also be a great nude-for-you heel.
The pearl detail on the strap does give me pause, but I think it’s subtle enough that it can work for the office.
The shoe is $875 and available in two colors at Nordstrom; there is also a sister slingback pump. At JimmyChoo.com they also have a mesh version of the pump, which I can see being chic for more special events, as well as two lace-covered ballerina flats. Nice.
Looking for something (slightly) more affordable? This Mary Jane pump from Margaux is lovely.

Romantic boho is rooted in a sense of ease and individuality—clothing that feels expressive, feminine, and thoughtfully constructed. It’s defined by fluid shapes, artisanal detail, and natural materials that create a look that feels collected over time.
Designers like Zimmermann, Alemais, Etro, and Doen approach this aesthetic through soft tailoring, intricate finishes, and pieces that carry movement. You’ll see elements like fine embroidery, airy fabrics, layered prints, and hand-worked textures that give each piece a distinct point of view.
Begin with a fluid silhouette
Maxi dresses, tiered midis, and softly shaped minis form the foundation. Fabrics like cotton voile, gauze, and silk blends allow for movement while maintaining structure. A printed or detailed dress naturally anchors the outfit.
Focus on crafted detail
Pintucks, lace insets, stitched motifs, and subtle embellishments add interest in a considered way. These are the details that give the pieces presence without requiring additional styling.
Accessories feel tactile and collected
Woven bags and slides, crochet sandals, beaded necklaces, and silk scarves complement the clothing without overpowering it. These elements reinforce the natural, textural quality of the style.

Cardi B appeared for press day wearing a brown polka dot look by Rowen Rose while promoting her Little Miss Drama Tour and discussing her beauty brand, Grow Good Beauty.
The look featured a $787 fitted long-sleeve top with a crisp white placket and collar, paired with a $810 coordinating midi skirt in the same brown and white polka dot print.
She styled the ensemble with a matching headband and white pointed-toe pumps, completing the look with sleek, waist-length hair.
Hot!

En Vogue posed for promotional images in coordinated custom looks by Atelier Savoir, styled by J Bolin. The group embraced a cohesive palette of warm browns, creams, and charcoal tones, anchored by structured leather corsetry and tailored silhouettes.
One look featured wide-leg ivory trousers paired with a crisp white shirt and a sculpted caramel leather corset, layered under a checked blazer. Another centered on a pinstriped charcoal suit, sharply tailored and contrasted with a crocodile-textured brown corset and a dramatic fur stole draped over one shoulder, styled with a matching cap. The third look incorporated a strapless leather corset in a rich tan hue, styled with high-waisted culottes and a fur-trimmed jacket, finished with lace-up boots.
The styling emphasized clean structure, texture, and tonal layering, with each ensemble reflecting a balance of classic tailoring and modern corsetry.

I’ve always preferred swimwear with a point of view, something in the texture, color, or shape that feels memorable right away. The pieces here reflect that: sculptural one-pieces, high-waisted sets, and bikinis with distinctive finishes that feel like a full look from the start. There’s a balance of bold color, graphic pattern, and refined detail that gives each suit its own presence.
Shape sets the foundation. One-shoulder silhouettes, supportive bandeaus, structured tops, and high-rise bottoms create a strong, flattering line, while fabrics feel smooth and substantial with just the right amount of hold.
Details bring everything forward. Floral appliqués, tie styles, fun fringe, and gold accents add a dimension that feels natural and elevated.
Color and print add personality. Saturated tones like green, and citrus sit alongside botanical florals and vintage-inspired patterns, creating a mix that feels fresh and wearable.
A simple sarong, wrap skirt, or oversized shirt turns each piece into an easy, complete look beyond the beach.
The latest EGO dresses for women and sculptural separates have arrived, leaning heavily into this season’s denim-on-denim and corsetry trends. This collection focuses on “cinched” silhouettes, utilizing heavy-duty denim and soft mesh overlays to create a powerful, feminine aesthetic. Whether you are looking for a structured indigo jacket to complete a layered look or a slinky cowl neck for a night out, these high-demand pieces are designed to sculpt the body and make a bold statement.

One of the questions I often see readers asking and discussing is the hunt for the best non see-through white T-shirt, or opaque white T-shirts — and really, why is it so hard to find a T-shirt that isn’t see-through? I thought I’d round up some of the best suggestions I’ve seen over the years…
{related: how to elevate a simple T-shirt}
N.B. This post was originally written in 2017, but updated March 2026 by Kat Griffin to add a few (Uniqlo, COS, L.L. Bean) and remove a few as well.
What to Wear with White T-Shirts for Work
First, what to wear with opaque white T-shirts for work: I definitely recommend wearing a nude-for-you T-shirt bra (this has always been a favorite!).
If you need to layer a camisole I’d probably go for a shade that best matches your skin tone in a slightly silky fabric so it doesn’t cling to your T-shirt. (Years ago, we actually had a huge debate about whether you should wear a white camisole under a white top — I still kind of like a white camisole under a white blouse, but for a T-shirt I think a nude-for-you camisole like this one would be better.)
As of 2026, the best spots to check for a wide range of nude-for-you undergarments are Old Navy or Nubian Skin. This reader-favorite bra also often comes in nude shades.
Our Latest Favorite Opaque White T-Shirts for Work
Hunting for opaque white T-shirts for work? As of 2026, we’d suggest checking the double-layer lines from Boden, Express, Old Navy, and Hobbs, as well as great sources for basic Pima cotton such as Uniqlo, COS, L.L.Bean, Everlane, Banana Republic, and Talbots. (This $268 tee also gets great reviews for opacity, as do these two more affordable options — and Elizabeth swears by this tee under $30!)
Let’s take a closer look at some of our favorite non see-through white T-shirts…
Boden’s Double Layer Line
Boden often has a bunch of great colors in their double layer line of tees, but obviously the extra layers are best with the lightest colors! They’re available in sizes 0-22, generally under $50.
Hobbs Double Fronted Top
The Aimee Double-Fronted Top from Hobbs is a stylish and versatile top that features a unique double-layered design. It is available in sizes 2-18, and the color option is ivory.
The top is made from a soft and comfortable blend of viscose and elastane, with a double-layered front that provides extra coverage and a flattering drape. The top has a round neckline, short sleeves, and a relaxed fit that is perfect for layering.
The top is $75 at Hobbs; you can also find the brand at Bloomingdale’s as well.
Express’s Double Layer Line
Express’s double-layer line varies — sometimes they have a lot of styles, sometimes they only have a few. Sizes range from XS to XL, and prices are usually around $34.
Fisher’s Finery
This top comes in a wide range of sizes, from XS to XXL, and is available in a variety of colors, including black, white, navy, pink, and more. The top features a classic fit with a flattering V-neckline and short sleeves, making it a versatile and comfortable option for everyday wear.
Elizabeth recently called this tee her “ride or die white tee” in a recent roundup of favorite low-cost clothing basics:
I don’t remember how I found out about the Fishers Finery brand, but now that it’s in my life, I’m never looking back.
This T-shirt is completely opaque, incredibly soft, and just slouchy enough to be comfortable without looking sloppy. The fabric is a viscose/cotton/spandex blend that washes beautifully and can go right in the dryer. I’ve worn it dozens of times and it still looks as good as it did the day I bought it. The price is usually under $30, but I would pay a lot more.
You can find it in V-neck, classic, scoop, and crew neck cuts!
Lafayette New York 148
{related: stylish tops for under suits}
This opaque white tee is on the higher end of the price point, but it’s been around and highly reviewed for years! It’s available in a range of sizes, from XS to XL, and features a flattering scoop neckline and short sleeves. It is made from a soft and breathable cotton material that is comfortable for everyday wear.
The top is available in several different colors, including white, black, and navy. Reviewers on the Nordstrom website praise the top for its high quality, versatility, and flattering fit. One reviewer notes that it is “perfect for layering” and that it “can be dressed up or down.” Another reviewer comments that it is “worth the investment” and that it “looks great with everything.”
The top also comes in plus sizes!
Uniqlo U
One of the most budget-friendly — but admittedly more casual — options are the Uniqlo U shirts, which regularly are mentioned as among the most opaque. They can be somewhat seasonal in their availability, so stock up if you find them! For 2026 they’re available in seven colors, sizes XXS-XXL.
Cos Clean Cut Tees
If you prefer a boxy cut, COS’s T-shirts have been winning rave reviews for years. I do think this has a cool girl vibe, but make sure it’s tuckable on you — a belly peek from a too-short top isn’t appropriate for every office. These are under $50, and available in sizes XXS-XL.
L.L.Bean Pima Tees
Readers have raved about L.L.Bean’s Pima tees for years. (You just want to be careful that you get the “Pima,” not one of the blends.) They’re opaque and a great weight.
L.L. Bean’s tees are under $30, and available in sizes XS-XL, XSP-XLP, and 1X-3X.
The Best Plus-Size Opaque White T-Shirts for Work
In terms of opaque white tees, Old Navy and Boden both have double-layer lines available up to size 3X, and the splurgey Lafayette 148 New York top does come in plus sizes. The Fisher’s Finery tee is available up to size XXL but they note that it runs large. L.L. Bean is also a good bet for opacity since their supima cotton is known to be excellent (available up to size 3X), as is Talbots.
Other Options for Non See-Through White Tops for Work
Short-Sleeve Sweaters: Often More Opaque than Tees
Other Women’s T-Shirts for Work We Love
These T-shirts may be made of comfortable and durable materials and feature appropriate designs or colors that are appropriate for a workplace environment.
Great Dressy T-Shirts for Work Layers
Great Dressy T-Shirts in Plus Sizes
Some of the best plus-size tees for work as of 2026 include Eileen Fisher, Universal Standard, Ralph Lauren, Amazon Essentials, and Talbots.
Just hunting for a basic weekend tee? These are some of our favorites (there is some overlap, but in general they’re looser and have more casual details such as pockets and shirttail hems…).
The Best Weekend Women’s T-Shirts
Some of the best weekend women’s t-shirts include Rag & Bone, Splendid, Michael Stars, James Perse, Leset, COS, Caslon, Uniqlo U, Amazon Essentials, Fishers Finery, and Three Dots.
Readers who like to wear white T-shirts to work: What is your favorite brand for non see-through white T-shirts? If you layer something underneath them, are you a fan of nude-for-you camisoles or white camisoles? (I’m normally on the team of “Your camisole should match whatever color your shirt is” but for an opaque white T-shirt I might go with nude-for-you.) What are your favorite ways to style a white tee for work?

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
This top from Ann Taylor is an interesting take on a traditional button-up. I honestly can’t decide if I love it or hate it, but for some reason, I can’t stop looking at it. I think I like the collar and the wrap details, but my brain is just a little confused by the buttons closest to the collar. I’m going to have to track it down in person, but please let me know your thoughts!
The top is $59.15 (marked down from $84.50) at Ann Taylor and comes in XXS-XXL. It also comes in white.
