The Ultimate Wardrobe Staple: Plain Black T-Shirts

So much love and attention goes to the plain white tee. Not only is it all the rage because of the bear, but they even get a dedicated band. 

So how about we give the good ol' black t-shirt some love? 

Don't get me wrong, I love a good plain white t shirt. It's actually one of the reasons I started this company. But this journey on finding the "perfect tee" made me fall in love with the simple black tee again. The reasons?

Pros: 

  • It lasts. The dyes and construction allow the black t shirt to be less finicky than a white one. 
  • Hides stains better. Not much explanation needed here. 

Cons: 

  • I have a dog that sheds too much white hair... but this sounds like a personal problem. I digress. 

The humble black t shirt might seem like the most basic item in your closet, but it’s also the most versatile. Think of it as the Levi’s of your wardrobe—iconic, timeless, and always in style. Whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual, a plain black t-shirt is the go-to choice for both men and women.

Let's dive in. 

Versatility at Its Best

When it comes to versatility, nothing beats a plain black t-shirt. It’s the Swiss Army knife of your wardrobe, ready to adapt to any situation. Pair it with jeans and sneakers for a laid-back vibe, or dress it up with a blazer for a night out. For women, it’s a must-have for any capsule wardrobe, while for men, it’s the foundation of countless outfits, from streetwear to smart-casual. Honestly - you style it how you want, but we're confident it'll work with (almost) any situation. 

Quality Over Everything

Not all plain black t-shirts are created equal. Look for high-quality cotton that feels soft against your skin and keeps its shape after multiple washes. The right fit is also crucial. Some might prefer a slightly tailored cut, while some might go for a relaxed or slim fit. A plain black t-shirt isn’t just another item in your closet; it’s an investment in your everyday style.

Let's take a break for full transparency time. We wrote this blog because we think our t shirts are pretty rad. Check out our plain black t-shirt for men or the plain black t-shirt for women at Better Clothing Co. These tees are made from premium cotton, ensuring they look great and last longer.

Anyways, back to the blog. 

Why You Need More Than One

A plain black t-shirt is like a good pair of Levi’s—always reliable. Having multiple styles and fits means you’ll always have the perfect option, whether you’re heading to the gym, the office, or a weekend brunch.

And here’s a tip: Buy 3 t-shirts, get 10% off; buy 6, get 15% off; go for 9, and get 20% off. Build your collection without breaking the bank.

Another moment for some transparency: sure, we'll make more money if we sell more. But I personally wear our shirts multiple times and want to reduce the times I wash my clothes, hence, I think it's best to have a solid rotation. Okay, I'll stop interrupting the blog now. 

Sustainability: Make the Smart Choice

In a world where trends come and go, a plain black t-shirt is a sustainable choice. Opt for ethically produced, organic cotton options that look good and feel good. Whether for men or women, a well-made plain black t-shirt is essential for a minimalist, eco-conscious wardrobe.

A plain black t-shirt isn’t just a basic; it’s the MVP of your closet. So whether you’re dressing it up or down, for men or women, make sure you have a few of these timeless essentials on hand. Simple, reliable, and always in style—just like your favorite plain black tee.
