Few garments are as versatile as the humble T-shirt. An invaluable wardrobe addition, a classic T-shirt is the ultimate foundation of many an outfit, from your everyday ensemble of jeans and sneakers to sportswear, workwear and even more formal tailoring.
While a statement or printed tee certainly has its place in every wardrobe, it's the simple yet oh-so-effective plain short-sleeved T-shirt that takes the cake when it comes to year-round, multi-outfit functionality and style.
Ensure your wardrobe is well equipped with a solid selection of essential plain tees in a variety of colours and fits. Here are a few classic options from some of our favourite brands to add to your rotation.
