For all the extravagant garments and fashionable items we could dedicate a whole article to, we’re taking this opportunity to celebrate the humble T-shirt. Why? Because they’re probably the most practical item (aside from underwear) in your wardrobe. They're easy to style and everyone looks good in one. And a handful of good tees can rescue you from just about any situation or creative styling funk.   

While we praise the overachievements of the T-shaped shirt, we don’t necessarily praise every T-shirt that gets made. We’re not about those impossibly cheap, $5 bargain bin shirts. This ode is directed at quality shirts made from environmentally responsible materials, at a price point that reflects responsible production, but doesn’t completely break the bank.   

Sound like your kind of criteria? Here’s seven of our favourite, affordable tees to suit, well, everything.
