The long sleeve t-shirt is the unsung hero of your wardrobe. You can layer it under and over other things, it can stand up to a workout one day and pair with a blazer the next, it always feels great against your skin, and it’s one of the few pieces in your closet that you legitimately use 12 months a year.
For such a wardrobe workhorse, if you want it to hold its shape, stand up in the wash, and, most importantly, fit YOUR body, quality matters. But these gems, no matter how well-made, get worn so much that they need to be replaced every few years (those stretched-out, stained ones still hanging around your closet? Get rid of them).
That means, basically, you’re always on the hunt for new ones. It shouldn’t be so hard to find such a thing, and yet…it is.
