Best Affordable Two-Pack Undershirt

Amazon Essentials Crewneck T-Shirts (Two-Pack)

Crewneck T-Shirts (Two-Pack)

Now 73% Off

Pros
Cons

When Amazon introduced a private-label business, it took a slow-and-steady approach, gathering as much consumer feedback as possible to offer styles that were up to snuff. The plan worked, and the rave reviews that Amazon Essentials receives are proof. This two-pack of tees features high-quality fabric that won't wear out easily, durable construction, and an affordable price-point that's hard to beat.

One buyer said: "My husband is 6'3 and about 400 pounds; it is difficult to find shirts that are long enough to cover his torso. These T-shirts are amazing. They are soft, and he is in love with how comfortable they are."

Best Monogram Undershirt

Lands’ End Crewneck Undershirt (Three-Pack)

On SaleCrewneck Undershirt (Three-Pack)
Pros
Cons

Lands’ End’s take on the style comes with the option to add a monogram, so you can flex your initials no matter how few layers you have on. Our testers loved how the brand combs the cotton in this shirt to remove the weaker, shorter fibers, leaving the stronger, softer ones for an extra-soft fit and feel.

One tester said, " These crew-neck T-shirts fit excellent overall. The body is comfortable and hangs off the shoulders nicely, and the sleeves stay in place when you put on another shirt, which is one of the most important things to consider when looking for an undershirt."

Best Body-Sculpting Undershirt

Spanx Sculpt Cotton Crewneck

Sculpt Cotton Crewneck
Pros
Cons

Spanx is not just for women. If we’re being honest, the fact that a product like this exists really takes the pressure off staying active whenever we’re just sitting inside our apartments. This compression crewneck not only sculpts your chest (and your gut—hey, embrace the dad bod), but due to its opaque fabric, it ensures full coverage, hiding chest hair for a smooth, sleek look under any outfit.

One tester said: "I love this product because it actually works. It gives you that extra little confidence boost you need by smoothing out any lumps or bumps you have. Plus, it's extremely lightweight and breathable so that it can be worn just about anywhere."

Best Scallop-Hem Undershirt

Goodlife Supima Scallop Crew

Supima Scallop Crew
Pros
Cons

When the entire Goodlife brand is built on the power of a simple T-shirt, you know it’s going to be, uh, good for, uh, life. Don’t believe us? The cotton-and-modal blend is specifically designed for long-lasting wear. Plus, when we tried this option out for ourselves we noticed how this tee's flattering drape and deep color made it versatile and sophisticated, so it can be worn under (or over) anything.

One buyer said: "Just awesome! I'm new to this kind of material, but so far, so good. The fitting was much better than what I expected, and even with my extra pounds, it fits perfectly."

Best Slim-Fitting Undershirt

Tommy John Second Skin Undershirt

Second Skin Undershirt
Pros
Cons

Tommy John excels at next-to-the-skin comfort. As its name aptly denotes, there’s no need to fret about your shirt coming untucked. And though the brand is perhaps most famous for its very good boxer briefs, this crewneck shirt is just as impressive. Plus, it won't pill in the wash, has improved shape retention, and has a longer tapered design.

One tester said: "The fit of this tank is amazing, and overall, it looks great. Whenever I've tried undershirts in the past, I noticed how I always have issues with them staying neatly tucked into my pants. This style has a patented stay-tuck design, so I never have to worry about it bulging or looking sloppy."

Best V-Neck Undershirt

Bombas T-Shirt (Three-Pack)

T-Shirt (Three-Pack)

Now 10% Off

Pros
Cons

You might know Bombas for its socks, but do not sleep on its undershirts. This pack of supersoft yet durable V-necks is going to last you for ages. Plus, with every shirt you buy, one is donated. So choose this set of three for a purchase that gives back.

One buyer said: "I absolutely have to say I'm so in love with this tee. Everyone has a favorite tee that they own, and this is mine. It's actually so hard to find the perfect white tee because there are so many options on the market, but the hunt is finally over because I bought this one."
