My favorite clothes these days are t-shirts. I’ve got a big old drawerful but I’m sure you’ll all agree, not all t-shirts are the same. Some of them are those godawful fitted tees people like to design for women. Don’t get me wrong, they’re good when you want to wear a t-shirt but still look semi- put together but you’re one good cheeseburger away from looking three months pregnant. I won’t lie, nothing depresses me quite like a poochy belly poking out over my waistband.
And considering I never tuck in my t-shirts you know that’s bad.
After the super skinny tees comes the scratchy ones. You know the kind — boxy but thick and rough and kind of icky to wear when the weather’s too hot. I’ve got a fair amount of those, too. Then at the very top of the t-shirt pyramid you’ve got the crème de la crème of tees: soft, feathery soft, so soft you absentmindedly pet them while you’re going about your day. Those are my favorites, my absolute favorites when I’m throwing stuff on in the morning.
What about my real clothes, you ask? Regular shirts and button down tops and such? Shoot, I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve pulled out something like that in the last six months so, y’know…tees are kind of my thing. What’s yours?

I live in T-shirt’s, here in Yorkshire thin T-shirt’s lead to frostbite…..

It’s all about the layering, right?

Since retiring, I pretty much live in tee shirts. That includes a lot of team gear, depending on the season, but black, gray and blue-ish tees are at the top of my drawer.
Good job on the prompt.

Thanks, Dan. I (sort of) get that some folks don’t love a t-shirt but I’m convinced they just haven’t had the right one on yet. 🙂

I know what you mean about soft favorite shirts. The most worn, stretched out, and holey ones are so comfortable, and I just keep on wearing them. I know someday they will really fall apart and I’ll have to break in another one. haha 🙂

Mine move from the t-shirt drawer to pajamas and I wear them into the ground. 😂

I’m not a huge T-shirt wearer, but when I do wear one, it has to be of the thin, buttery soft persuasion. And it can’t be tight around the neck (this is thanks to menopause, I think). I don’t like tight-fitting shirts either, unless they hide the middle stuff, but a shirt has to give me neck space and room to move – no scratching, no sweat-inducing fabric.

Oh my, those tight necks are the worst!! One or two snuck into my drawers over the years. One of these days I’ll donate them.

Two years ago I ordered various colored tees. (not fitted very soft) I haven’t had a shirt on since. Great use of the prompt, Laura.

Thanks, John. I’ve found very few occasions that required a “real” shirt over the last couple of years.

Soft fabric is a blood, specially in summers.

Oh yes. I think after the storm passes through Tues/Wed it’ll go down to the 80s. North Carolina *clings* to summer weather.

The tail of summer is long here as well. We finally get rid of it at the end of October.

I like relatively fitted tees, though not tight! This is because I’m always cold and will eventually put a cardigan on, so I don’t want to look all lumpy 😂

This is so true. Trying to fit a boxy t-shirt under a cardigan is a lost cause!
