The goal is for this piece to mix and match with the rest of your clothes (or as much of it as possible!).

Here are some notes to help you find a style for this piece that is versatile. 

• Why it’s included in the capsule: It’s a timeless classic that makes you look instantly put together.

• Recommended Pattern: Classic stripes (Called “Breton Stripes”)
• Recommended Sleeve-length: One in short-sleeve and one long-sleeve

Shopping Links: Best Striped Tees on Amazon

Here are my picks for some of the best striped t-shirts on Amazon. 

This is the example piece we used in one edition of our Women’s Essentials Style Guide.

I have this one, it’s a luxurious stretchy jersey knit and tunic length. If wearing with leggings or skinny jeans I just leave it out, it covers the bum. If wearing with wider leg pants or short I love knotting the front or doing a front tuck. Highly recommend!

2 for 1 deal 🙂 I have a set of Amazon Essentials shirts and they’re great.

I have this style in the burgundy and navy color; it’s another luxurious high-quality shirt and my go-to in the fall and winter!

If you like pockets in your tees then you might like this one!

Additional plus size option: 

Maternity option:

Alternative style: vertical stripes

These are harder to find, but here is a top/blouse with vertical stripes. It only has one review, but I’ve been happy with a couple items from SheIn. If you buy this, please let us know if you like it!
