    The quality of the t-shirt for me depends what I want it for. I wanted a t-shirt to wear to bed and to where to do housework which can involve bleach. I went to Walmart bought a semi thick cotton ribbed T-shirt in a size that was too large with plans to throw it in the dryer and shrink it which thickens the material. Now I have t-shirts to wear for sleeping and for cleaning if I get any bleach on it who cares, If it loses its shape who cares. . For wearing out in public as part of my outfit No they won't do.

    Thanks for the visual tshirt tutorial, Christina. So useful for such an essential wardrobe workhorse! COS and UNI QLO are both my faves too. I might even prefer UNI QLO's basic tshirt. It checks all the boxes AND costs less than $20!😊

    I can’t wear white t shirts as I’m a mum of twins and a golden retriever 😂 plus I don’t like how sheer they are. I did get a heavyweight cotton white t shirt a while ago but haven’t worn it as yet! I tend to favour charcoal grey or black T shirts often band style ones. Anything I can just throw in the wash with everything else suits me fine! I find it interesting seeing how quality differs by price of the same item though! Interesting video Christina

    Weirdly enough, my favourite plain tees are the ones from Joe Fresh -- the basic cap-sleeved fitted ones that come in v-neck and crew. They're cotton, they aren't see through, they hold their shape and they stand up to multiple washings. They had a problem with a cheaper fabric a couple of years ago, but the most recent ones are back to being good again. Will have to try the COS ones, though, as they're a more current cut.

      Before you throw your T-shirts in the washer, soak them in a tub with warm water and oxi for a few hours. I usually do an hour or two. You can also rub the arm pit area on the t-shirt. Then toss them into the washer. This helps me to keep my t-shirts white.

    For white Tee-shirts or Tee-shirts in general,ai go for mixed fabric like modal or any cotton fabric that has a mix of other fabric in it. Pure cotton doesn't guarantee it would last unless you go for the pricier tag. And also, go for the ones with tighter weave, and a bit thicker, they will last longer.

    My major problem with "expensive quality tee" is that they tend to be black or white.
    If I am lucky I find baby blue or navy blue ones, or army green, rarely the pink I want more of. Or mauve or lilac, or a nice softer green. Yes I can dye them, with a bit instable results, and dying 3-5 different colours ... feels like a lot of work and mess for each colour, and a bit wasteful.

      I agree: cheap cardigans (or jumpers/sweaters) are not worth it. They won't stand the test of time and look bad after just a few wears. It's true even for those made from more "fancy" fabrics like cashmere, which in itself is never cheap but the cheaper versions wear out very quickly 😕🌺

    I think of t shirts as underwear. Occasionally I might get a colored or stripped one. I missed the point in modern culture when undershirts became clothing. Not only that but an expensive sought after item. If I want heavy weight cotton I buy mens in medium. Mens tshirts are usually better quality. They should be on sale and ideally come in a three pack. I have a complete inabilty to understand why anyone would pay $40 or more for a plain piece of cotton cloth organic or not. Anything not made by union labor is a slave wage elsewhere in the world. I conceed the cost of transportation and handling, but I'm not paying for marketing cachet.

      😊 Yes, I'm a dirt magnet 🧲. Spending a lot 💸 on a white tee doesn't make much sense. Like simple, but not necessarily basic. Not brand specific. Look for deep seasonal clearances for a 🤏 slightly thicker fabric that also has softly body contouring cut & expanding/contracting properties.
      ⏳️As an extreme hourglass, I already feel like a ↔️ wide load in white 😶‍🌫️. Avoid billowy white tees like the plague🤢. Need garments that can hold their shape under pressure.
