Building a wardrobe really comes down to the basics, which is why finding the best men’s T-shirts is so essential. T-shirts can be used for layering, keeping warm or worn as your main top. When we say having quality T-shirts is essential, we really mean it — they act as an anchor when getting dressed each morning, along with your underwear and pants, of course.
Our top picks:
When it comes to T-shirts, there are more options available than your basic Gildan, which, of course, made our list because you can't forget the classics. There are different types of T-shirts depending on fabric weights, cuts and we can’t forget about sizing. Bottom line: Not all T-shirts are created equally, which is why we found options for almost any occasion.
So, you might wonder, how complex can men’s T-shirts really be? To be frank, this list contains 20 very different types for a reason. From crewnecks and V-neck shirts, we’ve found the best styles in each category, including workwear tops from Carhartt and workout T-shirts from Nike that are breathable and moisture-wicking. Since finding a quality T-shirt might be difficult in such a large market, we consulted with our Good Housekeeping Institute fiber scientists and clothing experts to narrow down the best options. Whether you're searching for casual tees to layer under your men's sweater or something you can wear on a night out, we’ve got you covered.
