In menswear’s hierarchy of needs, the T-shirt lies at the base of the pyramid. The best T-shirts, though, are more than foundational basics—just add a pair of rugged blue jeans à la Marlon Brando (or, for that matter, Jeremy Allen White), and the right one can be a big fit in and of itself.
Under normal circumstances, the sheer abundance of tees on the market would make narrowing down the options to a compact list kind of tricky. Thankfully, these are not normal circumstances. Because over the course of the last few months, the GQ Recommends squad trekked across the vast, overgrown T-shirt landscape and returned home with the booty: an infallible list of the absolute best T-shirts for men, regardless of style, budget, or situation. Here’s everywhere our journey took us. —Gerald Ortiz
