Every wardrobe needs a staple that’s versatile enough to wear on a long flight, while exploring a new city, or to go with any outfit you’ve packed. For this piece, comfort and style should come first, and we may have found the perfect option that ticks both boxes.
Designer fashion label Jenni Kayne, the luxurious and comfortable LA brand worn by Jennifer Garner and Jessica Alba, has its own version of the Cotton Basic t-shirt that is anything but basic. Available in four colors including black, cream, white and oatmeal stripes, the comfort of the shirt comes from its blend of cotton and yak yarn, which gives it that soft, worn feel from the first wear.

The comfort continues with its design long enough to be worn loose, tucked into casual or office-appropriate trousers, or layered under a cardigan or blazer. The crew neckline hits right at the collarbone, so you can easily wear it under a sweater without it sticking out the top. While the shirt is designed to be an ideal combination of slightly fitted and slightly baggy – without feeling clingy – the brand suggests downsizing if you prefer a more structured look, as it tends to run a little large. Think of it as the goldilocks of t-shirts: not too thin, not too baggy, but just right. Sizes range from XS to XXL.
While the price of the Cotton Basic t-shirt is higher for a standard t-shirt, shoppers say the quality and comfort convinced them to buy the t-shirt in several colors – or all of them. One person said that despite the price, “it’s a good weight and a flattering fit.” Another shopper said it was “not a basic white t-shirt”, calling it “absolutely fabulous” and adding that it was “super soft and washes like a dream”. A third reviewer confirmed that it “brings everyday luxury”. They went on to say that it’s “soft, true to size, and perfect for layering or wearing as a casual tee with jeans.”

Shoppers also praised the shirt’s versatility, with one saying they wear it “tucked into jeans and comfortably at the pool with shorts,” while adding that it doesn’t is “not cut” like many t-shirts. Another person who wears it “all the time” says the T-shirt is “perfect for layering or on its own during the Southern California winter.” Sharing the sentiment, a third shopper said he “wears it everywhere” and it’s “great under sweaters or on its own with shorts”, also sharing that it “feels great against skin”.
If you’re missing that wardrobe staple that’s useful – and stylish – for any type of weather or occasion, add the Jenni Kayne Cotton Basic Tee in one (or all) colors to your virtual cart.
