From heavyweight options with a pocket to celebrity-recommended tees to sustainable shirts from a closed-loop brand
Buck Mason’s curved-hem white tee came as close as possible to a universal T-shirt pick because everything about it is a happy medium: the price, the weight, the collar, the sleeve length, the fit. I consider it a medium-weight tee with an average-size collar.
The sleeve hits at the perfect spot on the bicep without looking too oversize, but it still offers enough length for those who like to roll their sleeves. And lastly, it’s not quite slim-fit but not quite boxy either. Carlos Huber, founder of, says the versatile cut makes it perfect for the beach and even more formal settings. In fact, he and his husband both wore the shirt under their suits at their wedding. “The neck is especially well shaped, and the curved hem is a nice detail,” Huber says.
