In the world of men’s style, at least if you ask this Brooklyn style writer, there are times when it’s wise to splurge and step up your game, and there are times when an affordable classic gets the job done just fine.

Take your standard T-shirt: As a work-from-home writer, I tend to reach for a T-shirt most days of the week, but wearing a finely crafted option just feels… different. In the best way possible, in a way that makes me look forward to dusting off my T-shirt rotation at home and on the road. And my friends, I think I know just where you’re going to want to go to get your new favorite T-shirt.

That certainly seems to be the case with the best T-shirts for men — investing in a quality option is a quick way to add more flair, class and quality to your off-duty style rotation, even if it feels more like a style splurge. Are you still with me? And are you ready to amp things up with the Todd Snyder Premium Jersey Tee?

It’s a luxe upgrade to your basics rotation, available in a series of vibrant colors and patterns designed to flatter, fit well and feel like anything but an average, everyday T-shirt. Would you expect anything less from one of the country’s best menswear designers, after all?

At least in my experience, the Todd Snyder Premium Jersey Tee does what the designer (from Iowa but trained in New York City at the likes of Old Navy, Ralph Lauren and J. Crew) really knows how to do best — take a tried-and-true staple, give it a fresh coat of paint in finely crafted fabrication, so to speak, and then offer it in a wide array of fashionable but not ostentatious colors and patterns. Yes indeed, how’s that for ranking the Todd Snyder Premium Jersey Tee as one of the best men’s T-shirts, ehh?

The difference, at least in my experience wearing Todd Snyder T-shirts, is clear right off the bat when it comes to the Todd Snyder Premium Jersey Tee. In fact, as the brand says of its reliably designed, stylish and high-quality men’s T-shirt, “it’s crafted from an all-cotton fabric we call “Premium Jersey,” and that detail makes all the difference from the jump. The next time you find yourself reaching for a stylish T-shirt, one where you’re wanting for higher-quality fabric and construction, make it this option from Todd Snyder, my friends.
