Palace is often compared to Supreme, but it’s far, far more reasonably-priced. Instead of hundreds of dollars for a casual t-shirt, Palace will set you back just $50-60. Note that the brand has a tremendous following, so don’t hesitate to hit “Add to cart” if you see something you love. 

7. Comme Des Garçons Play Long Sleeved Shirt

Check Price

If you’re looking for a top-quality shirt with a minimal – but playful – design, look no further than Comme Des Garçons Play. 

This long-sleeve men’s t-shirt is made of 100% cotton and features a classic round neck and straight hem. An embroidered red heart patch with a pair of eyes on the chest is the shirt’s single design element, making a whimsical but stylish statement. 

At over $100, this is admittedly not the most wallet-friendly option on the list. Comme Des Garçons Play clothing is well worth it, however. It’s machine-washable and holds up beautifully to heavy wear so, with proper care, you’ll have it for many years. This shirt won’t sag or stretch out, and it doesn’t pill either. Plus, you’ll get lots of compliments!

8. UNIQLO U Crew Neck Long-Sleeve T-Shirt

Check Price

UNIQLO is typically one of our top go-to brands for closet staples. To begin with, you simply cannot do better than the almost-too-good-to-be-true price points. But on top of that, UNIQLO clothing is actually exceptionally well-made. It’s soft and comfortable, stylish, and doesn’t fade or fall apart with continued wear. 

The U Crew Neck Long-Sleeve T-Shirt is one of the best options for men based on all these factors. UNIQLO dubs it “The ultimate simple t-shirt,” and we’re certainly keen to agree. 

Made of 100% cotton, this shirt features a simple chest pocket and a u-shaped neckline. It’s available in basic colors such as white and black, but in true UNIQLO fashion, there are also progressive colors like rust orange that somehow work as neutrals.
