1. The basic T-shirt
Crewnecks, boxy tops, baby tees—no matter the silhouette, a simple, short-sleeve T-shirt is a staple any time of year, and especially in spring. As the weather warms up, consider investing in a few high-quality tees, preferably 100% cotton options that’ll wash and age best. The magic of a basic T-shirt, especially a white tee, is that it pairs well with just about anything, but a denim jacket, wide-leg jeans, and loafers combo will never fail you.
