Classic doesn’t have to mean basic.

There’s nothing quite like finding the right tee for everything from working to napping to brunching—and the best V-neck T-shirts for women fit the bill perfectly. Comfortable and unassuming, these wardrobe essentials share all the same qualities of your favorite cashmere sweaters and tops: They’re casual, yet still put-together.
How should you go about choosing one? “I recommend looking for a V-neck tee made from a high-quality fabric that feels comfortable against your skin,” says Stitch Fix stylist Courtney Busch. Breathable cotton blends are the most popular, while other options like modal and linen can offer a “softer, more luxurious feel” when you want to go dressier. Fit is less important, she says, as long as you choose an option that makes you feel confident and offers some stretch.
Our top picks
- Most Popular: Amazon Essentials V-Neck T-Shirt, $19
- Best Lightweight: Madewell Whisper Cotton V-Neck Tee, $20
- Best Value: Hanes X-Temp V-Neck T-Shirt, $10
- Best Slim Fit: Banana Republic Supima V-Neck T-Shirt, $50
- Best Oversized Fit: FP Movement City Vibes Tee, $58
- Best Relaxed Fit: Frame Le Mid Rise V-Neck Tee, $98
When in doubt, go with something simple. “I prefer more of a lightweight cotton or jersey material, a wide V to show off some collarbone, and an oversized fit, making it a comfy, goes-with-everything staple,” says Caroline Maguire, Shopbop’s fashion director, who says it’s a great silhouette for transitional dressing. “My go-to is a black V-tee, styled with an oversized moto jacket and a pair of denim for that effortlessly cool model-off-duty look.”
We all have an idea of how the perfect tee should look, whether it’s a cropped cut for pairing with high-waist jeans or a deep V-neck that reveals just the right amount of skin. With a blazer and loafers, it’s ideal for the office; with black leggings and white sneakers, it makes a perfect day-off uniform. And a V-neck is even better for layering than a crewneck (which can crowd your collar) or a tank top (which doesn’t offer as much coverage). Ready to add just the right tee to your lineup? These are the very best V-neck T-shirts for women.

This roomy, top-rated tee from Free People is a lazy day in the form of a T-shirt.

Bleusalt The Perfect V
Bleusalt’s tees are almost unbelievably soft, thanks to a luxe, stretchy blend of modal and spandex. Celebrities like Sophie Turner are fans, as are Glamour staffers: “Bleusalt makes some of the softest T-shirts on the market,” says staff writer Hanna Lustig. “What really sets this tee apart, though, is the cut. The length is neither too long nor too short, and the neckline is low enough to be flattering without having to worry about exposing your cleavage when you bend over.”

Navarro notes that this T-shirt is “constructed to be sturdier,” which shows in the heftier price tag. But don’t let that deter you from giving it a shot: “I’ve had it for over six months, and it still looks as new as it did on day one,” she says. “I’m almost always in a black tee, so it only made sense to invest in a high-quality one.”
