Friends. This T-shirt? It is my platonic ideal of T-shirts. I have owned so many of them over the years, and I can confirm that they do, in fact, go with everything. I have worn them with jeans and a field jacket. I have worn them with trousers and a blazer. I have worn them with jeans and a blazer, for those times when you need to look a little put-together, but not full business mode. I have worn them with shorts. I have worn them with skirts. I have layered them with other things. I have sported them on their own. I have worn them in spring, and summer, and fall, and winter. I have worn them in basically any and all possible situations in which one could wear such a tee. This tee is the best tee. Yes, I will die on this hill. No, I will not be taking further questions at this time.

A pair of drawstring jeans, because no, your denim does not have to be super stiff and enormously uncomfortable.

A half-zip pullover sweatshirt bursting with preppy-cool pizzazz, so you can look like you just came from the tennis court pretty much all the time, even if you’ve never set foot on a tennis court before in your life.
