I like that they use real people as models. I’m 5’7" but my height is in my legs (my H, who is shorter than me towers over me when we are sitting as he has a long torso and shorter legs). The pictures help me figure out if a shorter, boxer cut will work for me.

I haven’t read every post and not sure if anyone has mentioned it. The movie Love Story - J Kennedy & Carolyn Bessette, inspired style is very simple/classic, something I could wear.

GQ agrees with you.
I live in NYC, so I do wear a lot of simple dark color clothes. I don’t do a lot of ruffles or lace. Her style resonates with me.

I’ve been liking Uniqlo tees lately. They have several cuts, and considering that I’m quite long waisted, there’s even one that works for me. Heavy weight, higher crew neck, good sleeve length. They wash well (in cold, hang to dry).
I am too prone to spills and splatters to spend $$$ on tees.

We are Uniqlo fans in this house. Asian sizing fits us better. We prefer things more fitted than boxy.

I’ve been a little less wild about the Uniqlo tees. At least the ones I have are a little too heavy. I like a slightly softer drape.
Having said that, I could probably count on one hand the number of days since Jan 1 that I wasn’t wearing a Uniqlo Heattech base layer!

My mid-30s D is a fan of Banana Republic. She bought a lot of tshirts at factory outlet. She was happy to have caught a sale. She got a few tshirts from Quince as well—found free shipping & free returns attractive.

Any chance yo bought the 3-pack of Tide pens at Kohls? I noticed them among the many items displayed in our new cash register queue.
No, the Tide pens were purchased at the grocery store from the laundry aisle!
My daughter was visiting from London and we each purchased a 3-pack.

I’ve never used the Tide pens. Do they work on all/most colors? I’ve be traveling for two weeks - very lightly for me - and could use something for touch ups.
In my experience, yes, they work on all/most colors. Example: eating a chocolate ice cream cone and dripping on my white shirt. They say they work best on fresh stains and are less effective on non-food stains like ink, blood, or grass, although I have used them on blood before.
I’ve been using them for years - just looked it up and they were released in 2005. My kids are grown now, but were teenagers in 2005 and I remember always having one in my purse, which was in constant demand on vacations.

Tide pens are a godsend. And small. Just be sure to thoroughly soak the area you’re cleaning with the pen. I find wetting an area larger than the spot helps.
I have these in my purse, my desk drawer at work, my knapsack. Yeah, I’m a traveling mess!
Fwiw, the Shout spot remover towelettes seem even more effective, but they are single use and a bit large, so never my go-to when traveling.

Another tee that I like and meets my requirements of lightweight, not form fitting (but I buy a size up cause I like it that way), nit a mile long and mid-length on the short sleeves is the JCrew Girlfriend Tee
They are having a sale today and also today only free shipping on all orders
I had a few colors - they wash/dry great!

thanks for the feedback… I am may order this V-neck, good sale
Can Jcrew mailorder items be returned to store if size is wrong?
Update - Google says Yes, if not monogramed or Final Sale.
@Colorado_mom our regular JCrew only takes returns of their items and not JCrew Factory items. JCrew is in the fancy mall less than a mile from me, but JCrew Factory is a 30 minute drive from my house.
Thank you for the great info. For some reason I had it in by head that they were more bleach-like and was hesitant to try them on my primarily black wardrobe. Now I will definitely get a pen or three for my trip

Thanks for the clarifiation. Turns out my local-ish Jcrew is a factory store. Phew - I ordered two white Tshirts (crew and vneck), not sure if the size S that I ordered will be right or not.

I own a ton of these in different colors. They are my go-to with jeans and crops in the summer months!
