Best Budget-Friendly Men's T-Shirts For 2019

About this video

Weston and her husband test budget-friendly white crew neck t-shirts from fast fashion retailers to identify which offers the best fit, fabric quality, and value. Weston explains her criteria for evaluating t-shirts—including fabric thickness, neck fit, sleeve taper, torso fit, and length—then reviews options from Uniqlo, J.Crew Mercantile, Topman, H&M, Zara, Banana Republic, and Express, ultimately recommending Uniqlo’s Supima cotton t-shirt as the best overall budget option.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that fabric thickness is critical for white t-shirts to avoid sheerness and a cheap appearance, and recommends checking the contrast between the collar and body to gauge material quality
• Weston emphasizes proper t-shirt fit includes a non-billowing torso (pinching only 1-2 inches of fabric at the stomach), sleeves that lightly hug the biceps, and length hitting just past the belt buckle into the mid-fly zone
• Weston believes t-shirts should not cost more than around $10 and recommends buying budget-friendly options in bulk and replacing them regularly rather than investing in expensive t-shirts, as even high-end versions wear at the same rate
• Weston recommends Uniqlo’s Supima cotton t-shirt at approximately $10 as the best all-around budget option due to its consistent fit across sizes, appropriate fabric thickness, and proper torso and sleeve fit
