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!
