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 ...

Please please dont get rid of this shirt. Its absolutely *chefs kiss* and I cannot for the life of me find one as good. The fit, the material, the quality - nothing compares. Essential to my life as I have it in every color - long and short sleeve! SAVE THE TEES!

Please bring it back!

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.

Please Bring These Back!!!

This is the only shirt that I like wearing in the warmer months! The length is perfect and the fabric is so soft! I wear these shirts every week. I recently visited your store in KC on the plaza specifically to buy more of these shirts. I left with only one item, but I was planning to leave with at least two of these shirts and more!

As many others have said- this is the best top! I have lots of colors in long and short sleeve. I love them! Please bring this style back, and don't change the fit!

If you discontinue, I will never shop at Athleta again!

Please BRING THESE BACK. Do not change them, just restock. I don't even care if you only carry just black, white, and navy. I own the crew neck, v neck, and the long sleeve and they're the best. I will never forgive you for this, Athleta!! And while I am here, bring back the original salutation legging design as well.

This tee is so perfectly fitted. It's loose and breezy and yet slenderizing. I noticed that it's not in stock. Please bring it back I need the 10% elastane to slip over my injured shoulder. LOVE this tee.

Please bring back this style. I own this in several colors and it's the BEST t-shirt. The material, the length and the fact that it's not thin makes it divine. Really hoping this is restocked before Summer 2026.
