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 ...

Ordered one of these last summer and just put it on again today. Immediately thought -this is perfect and I need to get some more. It seems to be discontinued and I'm so disappointed. Please bring it back!

I absolutely love these tees, I have a bunch of them! I especially love to wear them on travel days. I'm so sad they seem to be phasing them out. Athleta, please keep the Essential tee! #sweepstakes

I love these tops. They were just the right length and the material was perfect. Wish you were still making them!

This is one of my favorite tshirts, as a shorter woman the crop fit is amazing and the material is soft and good for all activities like work or a bike ride. I'd be super disappointed if this tshirt completely disappears. This is the only thing I've bought from athleta in a long time and might be the last if it's gone

Comments about Essential Tee

Probably one of my favorite products at Athleta. I bought one in gray and immediately bought another one in white. I like to wear this for outdoor activities because it is loose and breathable. The fabric does not feel like a polyester on your skin.
