Bought the essential t in navy and I love it! I know it's just a t-shirt but the fit and quality are great. Length is just right,too. PLEASE make in more colours, especially brighter blues and greens!!

Neckline ruins the shirt

This shirt could be really great. The fabric is nice. The length is perfect, not too cropped, not too long. It is boxy/loose without being overly so. The sleeve length is perfect. However, the neck line does not lay flat in the back. It sort of stands up and almost gapes. You can see it on a couple ...

I own in multiple colors and the 2 necklines and I was looking forward to purchasing and seeing other colors pop up. The other tee shirts are not the same. This is my Favorite t-shirt fit and feel. Please don't discontinue.

Comments about Essential Tee

The fit and color are nice. However, the shirt smelled horrific coming out of its individual shipping bag. I've washed the shirt 3 times according to the instructions on the tag, and it still smells noticeably bad enough to be unwearable. The other items delivered in the same order did not have this issue, so I assume the smell is a result of an issue with the shirt itself rather than something that happened during shipping.

Low quality high price

I am confused how this price can be charged - their products are usually good quality but this seems like a cheap $5 shirt. Too short, too sheer, too wide...

Comments about Essential Tee

A great basic tee. The cotton fabric is breathable and structured. It's not heavy, but not so light to make it see-through. I appreciate the extra room in the arm openings. It is cropped, not too short, and works well with high-waisted pants.

Comments about Essential Tee

I like this essential tee a lot. It has a back seam which looks nice, and it is a stretchy fabric that is thicker than most of the other tees I've tried on recently. Nice fabric, nice design.

Please keep this tee in the Athleta lineup!! The reviews speak for themselves, this tee is perfect and deserves a permanent spot in the tee options. The other tees do not fit or feel as nice as this shirt. I have one from a couple years ago that I still reach for weekly. Put simply, this is a perfect shirt.
