A Style Out! Yes please! Loved this. Would add: Lekha oversized is amazing and ethical. High crew and slightly boyfriend-y quality. One I always reach for. And LONOCO Blakeley linen tee, which is perfect when I need to be dressed but want to be in a tee. Thank you so much. I really learned a lot! XO.

They also make the most beautiful cotton slip dress on the bias. Great as an alternative to silk and perfect for the humid weather

The brand Stephanie and Rachel suggested is Lekha. I believe this is the slip dress. https://www.shoplekha.com/products/keya-slip-dress-fall-2020

Thank you! I’m still wearing slip dresses from Dosa that are close to 30 years old. It’s hard to find cotton ones.

I second Lekha! The cotton oversized white tee is quite perfect! It’s not too expensive( well a salad and a glass of rose) and is an upgraded mens Hanes in my opinion.

I live and die by my COS clean cut and the Uniqlo u neck. Nothing better than a white tee!

I’ve been in a white tshirt rut and was just starting my research so this is a godsend!

I ordered a bunch and took photos and labeled each photo. so part was based on feel and look but viewing the photos side by side was super helpful too. have fun!

What an excellent read! And the cleaning tips were so needed (currently have an iced tea stain all over my Uniqlo white tee) 🤭
