41 Best Women's T-Shirts You Can Buy In 2022

Welcome to a celebration of the humble, comfortable t-shirt and its cousins, the trendy tee and work-ready t-shirt. The fact is, we need a lot of t-shirts to create seamless styles for all of life's scenarios — from lazy binge-watching sessions to boardroom slay days. So, we took one for the team and cobbled together a hefty list of the perfect women's t-shirts for every occasion.

There was a time when the plain white t-shirt was simply part of the Navy's uniform and nothing more (via Real Thread). In fact, before 1913 — when the Navy began issuing tees as undershirts to sailors — people used to cut the sleeves off of work-related uniforms when the weather got warm. So, were they the first to rock a raw edge hem? Perhaps, but more importantly, in 1955, a young stud named James Dean gifted the universe a too-cool-to-care jeans and t-shirt look in the film "Rebel Without a Cause." Since the t-shirt was basically considered underwear at the time, this was a bold and sexy move. After that, the t-shirt was unstoppable, quickly becoming a steadfast member of the forever fashionable club.

In an age of endless t-shirt choices — which even includes scratch & sniff styles — it's clear that the tee is now an everyday staple, available in a dizzying array of options. We're here to help narrow down the selections by sharing the 41 best women's t-shirts you can buy in 2022.

How we selected the best women's t-shirts of 2022

If Dr. Seuss were around, he'd remind us that tees come in all shapes and sizes, from utilitarian to super-luxe prizes. Yes, indeed! So it seems tees of every color fill our social feeds, but, my-oh-my, how can we decide? The stacks upon stacks require a muse. Well, fear not, fashionista friends, we've scoured the internet with a knowing lens.

So, whether you're looking for a quirky Seuss-like pattern or a polished professional look, this collection of t-shirts has something for everyone. To cover the broadest tee categories, we started at the very genesis of all t-shirts: The sewing process. Then, by reviewing the fundamental styles of t-shirts, we ensured this list was as comprehensive as possible. From there, we looked to incorporate the latest trends reported by experts across the industry, such as Who What Wear.

Finally, we looked at customer demand and feedback documented in product reviews and social media comments. All of this combined ensures that these tees will surely please. And, yes, of course, there's even a Dr. Seuss Easter egg somewhere in this collection.

Best classic slim-fit t-shirt

"Misty moss," doesn't that sound dreamy? The color of this luxurious tee reminds us of the moss that collects on rocks in the quiet shadows of the woods. That's not technically the name of this t-shirt color, but after looking at upwards of 1,000 styles while researching this story, we developed OPI-level color naming skills in the process. So, misty moss, it is!

Aether is dedicated to merging adventure and life, so they recently tested their latest goods while on a motorcycle trip to Mexico. Co-owner Jonah Smith explained why it's crucial to test gear IRL to Gear Patrol. Speaking about the brand's moto pants, Smith said, " ... [we] went through tolls and realized we couldn't get money out of our hip pockets, and that's how we decided there should be a pocket there. These trips are how we discover the small details that ultimately lead us to create the best possible ... AETHER pieces." Case in point: The micromodal fabric of the brand's Legacy Short-Sleeve crew tee promises superior softness and a Lifetime Manufacturing Guarantee.

The Legacy Short-Sleeve Crew is available at Aether for $115.

Size Range: XS-XL | Material: 96% Micromodal, 4% Elastane | Fit: Slim fit

Best t-shirt if you wear your heart on your sleeve

When it comes to t-shirts, comfort is at the heart of it all, but that doesn't mean they can't also be super cute and stylish. Case in point: The heart-themed t-shirt from Find Me Now. The blush pink color and itty-bitty puff sleeve design add a touch of sweetness to the versatile top. One reviewer mentioned, "The sleeves are such a nice touch to my normal t-shirt collection," which is why we had to include it on our list.

The brand itself — a female-owned business — is dedicated to partnering with small, women-led international manufacturers with sustainability at the forefront, per their website. For this reason, Find Me Now's products are exclusively offered online. In fact, it's one of the many fashion brands to fully embrace the benefits of e-commerce during the pandemic (via Rolling Stone).

The Love For All T-Shirt is available at Find Me Now for $29.90.

Size Range: XS-XL | Material: 100% Cotton| Fit: Straight through waist

Best workwear inspired crop t-shirt

We're always eager for a fresh crop of Dickie's edgy workwear-inspired fashion. This piece is a statement maker, with its robin-egg blue hue and boxy crop silhouette. Obviously, it pairs perfectly with the brand's classic carpenter pants or workwear khakis, but don't sideline your shorts and skirts when coming up with the perfect style options for this tee. This is one of those shirts that will end up in your regular rotation, it's that comfy.

As unusual as it may seem, you can actually get some pretty solid crop-top styling inspiration from this throw-back Try Guys video, which has over eight million views on YouTube. However, if the self-proclaimed "nerd boys" don't offer the advice you need, go with your gut instinct and set your midriff free.

The Women's Cropped Graphic T-Shirt is available at Dickie's for $39.99.

Size Range: XS-XL | Material: 100% Cotton| Fit: Cropped

Best t-shirt for Dolly Parton fans

Picture this: It's Friday night, and you're going to single-handedly bring down the house at karaoke. You've been shower-singing your heart out all week, and today's the day to slay. Of course, your outfit needs to be perfect for the occasion — artfully distressed jeans, a Dolly Parton-inspired graphic tee, and a sassy raw-edge tweed blazer. The only other accessory you need is the perfect song, so cue up "Jolene" for the win.

This t-shirt is a great way to keep Dolly's music and mindset in the spotlight. She's known for her miles-long songbook, but she wasted no time in helping to fund COVID-19 vaccination research (via The New York Times). So, take a few pointers from Miley Cyrus's rendition of Jolene for "The Backyard Sessions," which has logged a mind-blowing 342 million views on YouTube, and karaoke your heart out.

The Jolene Graphic Tee is available at Dash Forward for $22.

Size Range: S-XXXL | Material: Not listed | Fit: Relaxed

Best splurge-worthy linen t-shirt

A little luxe goes a long way, and that's precisely why this linen-blend tee is a worthy splurge. Linen is similar to cotton but is made from flax, according to the fabric experts at Sewport. As a result, linen has a lovely, cascading flow, and it's very breathable, which is perfect for warm weather or high-stress meetings.

Advertisement

It's not just the fabric that makes this tee transcendent, though. The pocket and neckline have an exquisite "silk georgette" accent, which adds an understated oomph to the piece. Also, if you feel like you're seeing more linen lately, it's no coincidence. Fashion United reported that linen use by designers was up over 100% at the 2021 spring and summer runways shows.

The Caelan Tee is available at Brochu Walker for $158.

Size Range: XS-L | Material: 55% Linen, 45% Viscose| Fit: Slightly fitted

Best t-shirt for those who celebrate individuality

The joy and inherent power of this tee are that its meaning is as fluid as your daily mood. This tee doesn't care if you're a tomboy, girly-girl, transgender, queer, or just someone who likes to spark meaningful discussions. GIRLBOY is a brand devoted to the celebration of fem-fueled empowerment.

Fans of the brand include actress and filmmaker Jennifer Esposito, who was spotted on Instagram rocking her GIRLBOY tee with a classic blazer. The brand has also partnered with iconic fashion brand Fred Segal — known for monetizing "California-cool" in the '60s — so, it's safe to say this is way cooler than a typical tee.

The Classic Black Tee is available at GIRLBOY for $70.

Size Range: XS-XL | Material: 70% Organic Cotton, 30% Hemp| Fit: Slightly Fitted

Best Amazon t-shirt for under $10

After scouring the internet and looking for the best women's t-shirts of 2022, we'd like to consider ourselves "in the know." Admittedly, though, we bow to the OG t-shirt titans at Hanes, who've been running the game since the brand was founded in 1901 (per CNN Business).

Advertisement

Hanes t-shirts are affordable, comfortable, durable, and pretty close to perfect. It's no wonder these tees have over 40,000 (mostly positive) ratings on Amazon, but the stats stack up in other areas, too. It's ranked #160 in the "Clothing, Shoes, and Jewelry" category on the website, plus it's the eighth most popular t-shirt across all women's t-shirts on Amazon. However, if you think the name of the tee, the "Perfect Short-Sleeve T-shirt," is a bit of a brag, remember that reviewers have confirmed this notion with bold shout-outs. One reviewer stated, "Wow! I wanted a T-shirt that would be flattering without being skin-tight ... It's the perfect balance of fitted yet loose."

The Hanes Women's Perfect-T Short Sleeve T-shirt is available on Amazon with prices ranging from $6 to $22.

Very comfortable and very flattering. Love them!"

The brand, Abbey Glass, offers effortless styles, but a lot of effort actually went into the brand's creation. Designer Abbey Glass was a 2020 Tory Burch Foundation Fellow and has even been featured in Southern Living Magazine for her inspirational entrepreneurism.

It's cute, edgy, and 100% on-trend, according to Fashionista. Amazon reviewers rave about the softness of the material, ranking its texture at 4.7 out of 5 stars.

To really drive these points home, customers shared how the innovative tee plays out in real life. One reviewer wrote, "Really love the invincible line (crops, V-neck, and tanks). All are really soft and repel everything!! I don't have to worry while I'm cooking or if I go out to the garden and do a little weeding! Definitely buying more!!" Notably, Threads 4 Thought is a popular label at Nordstrom, Stitch Fix, and Amazon.

Best genderless tie-dyed t-shirt

Recycled materials? Check. Genderless design? Check. In fact, this tee checks all of the boxes.

The oversized cut is on-trend and, more importantly, comfortable. The happy-go-lucky, cotton candy-hued swirls are basically a billboard for unadulterated joy. Plus, hidden behind the design, on the inside, there's a delicate terry lining for added softness. However, there's one thing the brand isn't so soft on — wasteful fashion. So, along those lines, the brand's "Closet and Credit" program, which was featured by Fast Company, provides store credit when you use dedicated bags to ship your old, worn-out clothes to them.

By the same token, it's also your go-to tee for office style and beyond. As with many work-styling advice videos, fashion maven Kerina Wang suggests versatile workwear pieces in her "What to Wear to the Office" video on YouTube, which has over 600k views. More than that, though, this elevated basic has a crepe de chine texture which gives it a drapey, crepe-like feel.

A quick meander through the reviews shows that people know how to rally behind an '80s-themed party, but the fishnet t-shirt is equally fashionable for everyday wear. The Vou's roundup of '80s must-haves confirms this sentiment. Along those lines, reviewers love the styling options, including using this top as a pool and beach accessory. "Loved the shirt! Wore it over a bathing suit and got tons of compliments," one customer wrote. At the end of the day, though, we're fans of the classic jeans and fishnet top look.

Then there's the adjustable waistline which features little waist buttons that let you decide if you want a relaxed or cinched fit. Brilliant!

One website reviewer confirms these benefits, saying, "This is a beautifully flattering (and versatile) top. The material is thick yet still breathable; I've never felt anything like it.

Loving vs. The State of Virginia was a milestone case for interracial marriage. Richard and Mildred Loving took their fight for love all the way to the Supreme Court (via History).

Eventually, with the help of the ACLU, the couple fought all the way to the Supreme Court and won.
