14 Great T-shirts That Give the Basic Summer Staple a Whole New Look

By Roxanne Fequiere & Piera Gelardi

It's nearly impossible to overlook the necessity of a great T-shirt. Whether paired with your oldest (and coolest) beat-up jeans or a frothy skirt, this classic staple is something we simply can't live without. That said, it's all too easy to accumulate a collection of bland tees that eventually don't even make it out of the gym, let alone your apartment. With that in mind, we set out to restore the glory of the Cool T and found 14 stand-out specimens that will function as the focal point of any outfit.
