J. Crew T-Shirt Review

J. Crew sells expensive clothes. But for good reason. Their clothes also happen to be high quality; the colors and feel of their clothing is radically different when compared with the colors and feel of clothing from Forever 21.

J. Crew’s prices do not remain indefinitely in the $$$ range though, they have this ongoing sale called the Final Sale where their older inventory, and inventory that isn’t selling that well is marked way down for consumers who want lower prices, like you and me, (btw, if they don’t have very many items in the sale section come back tomorrow, their inventory there fluctuates between lots of items and not very many). A couple of weeks back, as I was perusing this sale, my eye was caught by this t-shirt*:

It was marked down to $6.99, and, at the time, there were more colors available at that price than there are now. However, the price was appealing, very appealing (cheaper than Target, and just as cheap as Old Navy, this is J. Crew we’re talking about here), and so were the colors. Bright, beautiful, high-quality colors, offered not just in the basic black, white, and grey.

I decided to bite, and ordered it in 2 colors.

This t-shirt didn’t disappoint when it arrived. Unlike others, which have a tendency to either be extremely see-through, or so thick and stifling that I feel like I’m wearing a souvenir from a vacation, this little tee was juuust right. The length hit me a little bit below my hip, the v-neck was not too low, though it was still low enough to perhaps necessitate a cami or tank, and the weight and quality of the actual material itself was a thing to behold. This was a t-shirt that was neither transparent, nor a blanket. This was a t-shirt that would hold up to numerous spins in the washing machine. It fit a true size small and was neither a medium, nor an x-small. It hugged me in all the right places, but not too tightly, and the fine ribbing of the cotton material gave the t-shirt a more wholesome look, rather than if it had been made of skin-tight, regular t-shirt material.

This is a t-shirt that will easily mix with my jeans and pants, but also with all my different styles of skirts, full and pencil.

So, when you go to buy more t-shirts at Target, or Old Navy, just remember that you can get them for the same price, and in a better quality at J. Crew. That $15.00 price tag on the t-shirt won’t last long either, within a few weeks I expect this t-shirt will debut at $6.99.

*Note: J. Crew has a problem with their links right now, it’s not my fault, but if you go to their website and search for “perfect-fit short-sleeve V-neck tee” then you can find this t-shirt.*
