3 Vogue Editors Share Their Favorite T-Shirts—And How to Wear Them Here, three Vogue editors open up about the T-shirts they reach for most—plus their styling tips to make

Finding the perfect wardrobe essentials can take time. Whether it’s a pair of well-fitting straight-leg jeans, a versatile button-up shirt, or a little white dress that works for both work and evening events, the search often requires patience. One of the most sought-after staples is the perfect T-shirt—every fashion lover knows the struggle of finding one with just the right shape, neckline, and fabric. UNIQLO, the Japanese retailer known for high-quality basics at affordable prices, is a favorite among editors for these must-have pieces.

A great T-shirt is a wardrobe essential, no matter your style or color preferences. For many Vogue editors, a simple white, gray, or black tee is a go-to layering piece under sweaters, blazers, and coats. It can also make a statement with bold stripes, a sports team logo, or a hometown tribute. The best T-shirts—whether a relaxed crewneck or slightly cropped—pair effortlessly with everything from low-rise jeans to silky skirts. Below, three Vogue editors share what they look for in a T-shirt and why UNIQLO’s options work so well for them.

### Mai Morsch, Fashion Editor
“My coworkers joke that I’m the queen of basics—and it’s true, I’m usually in jeans and a tee. While my outfits are simple, I care deeply about fit and fabric. UNIQLO’s pieces are timeless, well-made, and effortlessly chic. My style philosophy? A solid wardrobe foundation makes it easy to build your personal style with unique, vintage, or trend-driven pieces.

I love this UNIQLO U T-shirt because it has the effortless vibe of a classic baby tee. It hits just at the waist, making it super versatile—wear it with low-rise jeans for a casual weekend look or tuck it into high-waist trousers for something polished. The fabric is soft yet structured, holding its shape without wrinkling, and the cap sleeves add a flattering touch. With so many colors available, it’s a staple worth stocking up on.

I leaned into the ’90s feel of this tee by layering a ribbed tank underneath for extra texture. I paired it with dark-wash jeans from the UNIQLO x JW Anderson collab—a favorite for their classic straight-leg cut and slightly stiff feel. The whole look is simple but intentional. I styled it with heeled sandals, but honestly, this outfit works with any shoe, any season.”

### Leah Faye Cooper, Digital Style Director
“I prefer tees over button-downs or knits, so I own a lot of them. I love cropped styles, and this one is perfect—it doesn’t expose my midriff when worn with high-waisted skirts or trousers (though I’d pair it with a lower-rise skirt if I wanted to show more skin). The cotton is stretchy, substantial, and incredibly soft. These tees have enough structure for the office but are also great for weekends. I styled mine with a silk midi skirt and a denim jacket draped over my shoulders—a go-to look when I want to feel casual but polished.”

“Finding the perfect simple tee is harder than it seems, but UNIQLO makes it easy—especially with their U collection, designed by Christophe Lemaire and Sarah Linh Tran. First, it’s under $20—It’s rare to find something like this these days—a thick, heavyweight cotton tee that keeps your bra from showing through, which is my biggest struggle with T-shirts.

The fit is also one of the best I’ve tried, and I own tees ranging from $20 to $150. UNIQLO has nailed the perfect everyday fit for women. Their UNIQLO U Collection T-shirt sits just right with mid-rise jeans (my go-to these days). If you’re still into high-rise jeans, it tucks in nicely—I’d suggest adding a skinny belt. Even with just a tee, jeans, and belt, you can walk straight into the office (even Vogue’s) looking polished.

Fashion editors might say cigarette and skinny-fit pants are making a comeback, but I’m never going back to skinny jeans! My favorite way to wear a tee is with a relaxed fit and UNIQLO’s wide straight-leg jeans. It’s the ideal silhouette for my 5’7” frame (though UNIQLO offers free hemming if needed).

I’ll always love a Canadian tuxedo—pairing loose jeans with a relaxed jacket, like their zip-up blouson, makes a simple outfit effortlessly cool. Style it with edgy ballet flats or a sleek boot for colder days.
