IT’S EASY to get lost in the search for the best men’s T-shirts.
The best tees for men include classic V-neck or crew neck styles, and come in a range of patterns and colours, including graphic prints and slogan designs.
In warm weather they’re the perfect top layer, but a great T-shirt will also work well under a shirt or jacket too.
Ryan Gosling shows how good the classic T-shirt and jeans combination can look so easy yet so cool, and it works every time.
Frank Ocean harnesses the power of print to make more of a statement, while Nicholas Hoult takes the opposite approach, using his tee as an understated layer with a jacket and jeans.
There’s room for plenty of T-shirts in any man’s wardrobe – and here are the best available now.
The most important thing is that the T-shirt fits you perfectly- tight fitting but not skin-tight.
Make sure that the sleeves don’t go past your elbow, and roll them up if you want to show off all your hard work in the gym!
Make sure you have all the staples: a white tee, a grey tee, a black tee, a navy tee, and any other colours that compliment your skin tone.
If you want to look taller, try a V-neck to elongate the neck.
Skinny guys, try a crew neck if you want to look a bit broader.
Chuck on some jeans, boots, and a classic white T-Shirt and you’ll be looking like James Dean in no time.
Layering works wonders.
Add a bomber or denim jacket to a crew neck tee with some trainers and head anywhere from the club to the corner shop.
Pair a V-neck with a blazer, some loafers, and some chinos, and viola: you’ve got the perfect summer office outfit.
When it’s unbearably hot, feel free to get comfortable and wear a tee with some shorts and flip flops.
This Sunspel Plain White T-shirt will set you back a bit but it’s made in England using premium cotton[/caption]
Ever since the 1950s, the white T-shirt has been a sartorial icon – think James Dean and Marlon Brando, and their brand of cool that still looks good today.
This history means it’s worth investing in a high quality white T-shirt, and Sunspel’s is a worthy piece.
Not only is the cut great, but it’s made in England using 100% premium soft cotton, making it lightweight, and incredibly long-lasting. You’ll be wearing it absolutely everywhere.
On the more affordable side is River Island’s Navy Slim Short Sleeve T-Shirt[/caption]
River Island does simple and classic right with its range of crew neck T-shirts.
Each is cut to a neat, flattering fit from pure cotton and is free from any extra detail, making them easy to style any way you like.
What’s more, they’re available in eight colours and there’s a multibuy offer on, so you can completely restock in one place.
Opt for a V-neck like this one from Next if you want to add height to your appearance[/caption]
V-neck T-shirts are a good choice for shorter guys, since they add a bit of height to the appearance, and they also help to balance out the proportions of wider or round faces.
Next’s version has quite a subtle V shape rather than anything too deep, which makes it really easy to wear with anything from a blazer to an open shirt – or just on its own.
There’s a choice of 14 colours, so you’re guaranteed to find one that suits you.
If you’re into graphic designs and love logos too then this T-shirt from Levi is available at John Lewis[/caption]
Levi’s has come up with a new take on the logo T-shirt by incorporating its iconic emblem into a lighthearted summer graphic.
The crew neck design is made from pure cotton for comfort and its white, blue and red colours make it easy to style – a plain bomber jacket and jeans will do the trick.

In a smart bit of engineering, this Mark & Spencer T-shirt has no seams, so there’s nothing to restrict your movement or chafe against your skin even after long sports sessions.
On top of this, the T-shirt has moisture-wicking technology – which removes sweat from the surface of your skin to keep you feeling fresh and dry – and has reflective trims in case your chosen sport takes you outdoors after dark.
It can be easy to get lost with so many brands offering their own versions of plain T-shirts.
And the biggest shops such as Selfridges, Topman, and M&S are filled with a variety of items from soft cotton regular fit to classic white short sleeves t-shirts.
The most loved brands that offer plain t-shirts are Uniqlo, Nike, and Hanes.
