favorite tees under $40

PIN IT

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I am a MAJOR sucker for a good, basic tee. As in, I can’t say no to it. I feel the need to try every one on the market haha. As ‘basic’ as this is of me…it’s because I feel my best in a really good basic tee. Jeans (or jean shorts) and a t-shirt, sandals, and a bandana is my go to summer look for nearly any occasion.

SO in honor of my deep love for a good basic tee…today I’m sharing my 4 favorite basic tees with y’all, that are all under $40! I own every single one of these t-shirts (in multiple colors) and can honestly say I wear them at least twice a week, every week.

I love this striped drapey t-shirt I’m wearing today for a few reasons. First of all: stripes. I also like that this t-shirt is v-neck, but the v isn’t too deep. BEST of all though…I love the little strappy back!

Even with the strappy back, the t-shirt is still bra friendly. It looks great with cut-off denim shorts, but would also look cute with white denim and wedges, for a little more dressed up look!

My other favorite basic tees that are all under $30 are below! (Like I said, I have these in multiple colors):

Outfit details: striped tee (i’m wearing the XS) | high rise denim shorts (also available here) | round crossbody bag | round sunglasses | earrings | neck tie | slide sandals

Do any of y’all have the tees I listed above? If so, you know I’m not kidding when I say you will LIVE in these, no matter what season! I layer these under cardigans in the fall as well! Hope you try them out and enjoy them as much as I do!
