Shorter sleeves, crew neck, not too baggy, and not too long.

 

I found the most wonderful t T-shirt years ago at a store that sells team merchandise. Gildan makes one shirt for women (in a multitude of colors): PERFECTION.

I like collars to come up to my collarbone so I prefer T-shirts with either a crewneck or boat-neck and regular short sleeves (not cap sleeves).  I have a small neck and shoulders so that’s what looks best on me.  Scoop neck and V-necks come down too low on me.  I find them terribly uncomfortable trying to keep them on my shoulders and/or not showing everything when bending over.  I haven’t bought any Liz Claiborne T’s since they went to all scoop neck.  I buy most of my T's from Land's End and LL Bean.

3/4 sleeves or elbow, v neck or scoop, shaped or semi fitted

I like some fitted and some semi-fitted. No boatnecks, no cap sleeves. Length I like to hip length or to the bottom of the bum, if the length goes down my legs it feels hot and constricting.

I like scoop neck and V-necks the best.  One of my big pet peeves though, is tee shirts with a boxy cut, that look like they were made for men.  I have more of an hourglass shape and I like the top to have more of a curve to it too.

I like a tee that follows the shape of the body without being skin tight. I don't want the neckline to be so low that I'm flashing people if I bend over lol.

I like a v-neck and long sleeves in most t-shirts.  If I am going to wear it under a jacket I like a square neck but those are hard to find.

Jennifer Aniston always looks great in Ts, IMO. Whether loose v-necks or tighter scoop necks with long sleeves, she always wears them well.

I read that she has them tailored, so no wonder!

Re: What Silhouette Do You Look For In Tees?

I prefer a scoop neck if I'm wearing a shirt/jacket/vest/cardigan over it, and a v-neck if I'm wearing it by itself.  I hate crew-necks! 

 

I don't want the sleeves to be skin tight, but I prefer a slim silhoutte.  Short sleeves that are too wide look like "farmer" sleeves, Long sleeves that are too wide, I can't push up, and 3/4 sleeves that are wide, just stick out and look stupid.  The one sleeve length I can't wear is the elbow length.  It looks fine on other people but looks horrible on me!

 

I also don't like a t-shirt to be too loose around the hips.  A traditional T should only have the same amount of "ease" around the bottom as it has at the top.

Re: What Silhouette Do You Look For In Tees?

Don't you mean "style"?  Silhouette means the shape of the garment from head to toe.  QVC's terms, ugh.  Fabrication is a process.  Colorway is the use of several colors.
