Frock Off

No I’m not going to talk about golf fashion. Maybe some other time. I’m talking about tee-shirts. I love tee-shirts. They’re so versatile and come in many styles and colors (e.g. long sleeved, vneck, crew-neck, boat neck…). Three different people can wear the exact same tee-shirt in three completely different ways (boho-chic, preppy, or urban-chic). I don’t generally advocate buying multiples of the same thing in different colors, however if you find a tee-shirt brand that fits you well, stock up. Even better when they’re on sale. Here’s four different brands/stores that I highly recommend.

American Apparel - They have a huge variety of styles and colors. The other great thing about them is their factory is right here in the US, not outsourced to other countries like other companies.

Buy Online - Yes

Buy In-store - Yes

Price Range - $15-$35

The Gap - I have one word for them, “Classic”. There are Gap’s everywhere, so stop by a store and try some on.

Buy Online - Yes

Buy In-store - Yes

Price Range - $12.50-$24.50

Shop Bop (Bop Basics) - They just started a line of clothing basics about a month or so ago. Again they have a lot of styles and colors. I haven’t purchased any from them yet. If anyone has leave a comment and let us know if they fit well and how they are quality-wise. Shop Bop is a online store only.

Buy Online - Yes

Buy In-store - No

Price Range - $35-$60

Wetseal, Forever 21, Charlotte Russe - If you can fight your way through the herds of leggings-clad middle schoolers, you can find tons of basic tees. These places are great if you’re not wanting to pay more than $20 bucks for a tee shirt. They usually have sales or promotions like two for $15 or $20. You can buy things both online and in store with Wetseal and Forever 21. Charlotte Russe does not have a online store.

Buy Online - Wetseal: Yes, Forever 21: Yes, Charlotte Russe: No

Buy In-store - Wetseal: Yes, Forever 21: Yes, Charlotte Russe: Yes

Price - $7-$15

I’ll let you know where you can find a tee-shirt similar to Jennifer’s in the picture above in my next post.
