Wellen men's T-shirt review.

A guy’s wardrobe needs the basics, the daily men’s style essentials that can do the heavy lifting — and at the same time, it also needs some versatile pieces that take the notion of basics a step further, like one of the best T-shirts for men. We’re not talking just any ole cotton T-shirt around these parts today, though, and that’s all thanks to the good folks at Huckberry.

We’re talking all about the new Wellen Sol Performance T-Shirt, a wardrobe workhorse adept at everything from trail runs to coffee shop strolls, beach vacations and much more.

The key to its versatility, and the fact that it performs like, well, a true performance T-shirt while looking like (as Huckberry says) “your favorite cotton T-shirt”? That’d be the use of CoolSoft Fabric, which pulls sweat away from your skin and dries four times faster than cotton.

Yes, you read that correctly: The Wellen Sol Performance T-Shirt is a heck of a performance T-shirt, packed with a laundry list of versatile, durable features. Those include an athletic fit that hugs the arms, plus a side seam gusset for added mobility, and all the while, this stylish yet performance-minded T-shirt even keeps your valuables safe via a hidden pocket designed to hold your keys, ID or workout gels.

No matter which way you choose to wear the Wellen Sol Performance T-Shirt — with workout shorts and some of the best men’s running sneakers, or alongside chino shorts and canvas sneakers for a more laidback, off-duty look — it’s guaranteed to stand up to anything and look positively great while doing so. As Huckberry says: We’ll see you out there, folks.

The Sunday Sale: This Todd Snyder Tee is a Breezy Casual Style Option for Summer

Some of my favorite style essentials for men are picks that don’t add too much hassle or fuss to your menswear wardrobe. Picks like one of the best T-shirts for men, for instance, and especially one from a trusted menswear brand like Todd Snyder.

The right T-shirt, one with super-soft fabric, a flattering fit and subtle style details, can prove as invaluable when worn on its own as when layered beneath your favorite denim jacket or an unbuttoned camp collar shirt. In my experience, one of the best T-shirts for men is worth spending a bit more money on, particularly when it’s made by one of the country’s finest menswear designers. But since we’re talking deals today, I’ve got even better news for you.

That’s right: The Todd Snyder Made in L.A. Homespun Pocket Tee lives up to its name in every way possible, and that only gets better when you consider the fact that it’s on sale right now for nearly 30 percent off. It’s a standout wardrobe addition, especially in a color like Hickory, which wears well with cream-colored jeans, with light wash denim or even with olive or light khaki chino shorts.

The Todd Snyder Made in L.A. Homespun Pocket Tee also features signature details from the designer, like a button chest pocket. Plus, garment-dyed slub spun jersey cotton should prove ultra-soft, breathable and nicely textured — your standard undershirt, this is not. You see, the Todd Snyder Made in L.A. Homespun Pocket Tee can stand out handsomely all on its own, and when you throw in a nice discount, you’re getting a downright steal that changes the game for your T-shirt rotation.

The Tuesday Steal: Save Big On this Performance T-Shirt from Reigning Champ & Huckberry

Best T-shirt for men.

Every guy needs a solid handle on truly classic summer style essentials, the sort of pieces that are the cornerstone of a casual wardrobe. And yes, this even includes one of the best black T-shirts for men, an indispensable style move on the road, at home and in between.

As simple as it might seem, the right black T-shirt can work with just about anything in your wardrobe when you want neutral, casual style, and my friends at Huckberry and Reigning Champ have cracked the code in that regard.

In matters of style, for instance, that versatility works as well with olive chino shorts as it does light wash jeans, but in the case of the Reigning Champ Solotex Mesh T-Shirt, it’s geared more towards performance. And beyond that, this T-shirt can be had for quite the nice deal right now — it’s normally priced close to $100, quite the splurge for a T-shirt, but you’ll find that the Reigning Champ Solotex Mesh T-Shirt is up for grabs for about 25 percent off right now.

The difference is in the details, with stretchy, moisture-wicking performance fabric — and yet, this flattering T-shirt doesn’t look all that much like a typical workout tee, which helps with its styling potential, at least in my experience.

The Reigning Champ Solotex Mesh T-Shirt also boasts a flattering fit (and it comes in both a Heather Grey and Black) — raglan sleeve construction also delivers mobility and a tailored finish, whether you wear this tee on its own to the gym or layer it underneath a rugged chambray shirt.

Not every style essential needs to be flashy — sometimes, the right move for training, for casual days and for easygoing style is a crisply cut performance T-shirt in a wear-with-anything color… kind of like the Reigning Champ Solotex Mesh T-Shirt. Cheers to versatility (and savings), my friends.

The Thursday Buy: This American Giant Striped Crewneck Is a Breezy Layer for Spring Days & Nights

When I look for dependable layers to ramp up my spring and summer style wardrobe, I tend to reach for pieces that take a classic and improve upon it ever so slightly. And if the piece is a bit of a swerve from the norm — say, a stylish striped long-sleeve T-shirt as opposed to a solid-colored long-sleeve tee — that’s all the better.

Let’s go one step further: When that staple piece is made the old-school way, well, you’ve hit the sweet spot, as the good folks at American Giant often tend to do.

Makers of everything from some of the best American-made jeans to the brand’s famed American Giant Classic Full-Zip Hoodie, you’ll find that the company leaves no stone unturned, so to speak, in pursuit of some of the best American-made menswear on the market.

And that goes for casual picks, like the aforementioned American Giant Classic Long-Sleeve Crew, as well as harder-to-craft picks, like blue jeans, canvas work pants or hard-wearing workshirts. A mid-weight 100 percent cotton build gives this T-shirt a breezy softness, the kind that wears well with French Terry joggers for weekend coffee outings or laidback spring patio mornings.

Yet, the USA-made build of the American Giant Classic Long-Sleeve Crew elevates it further — while this works as a loungewear-style T-shirt, you can also pair it with an indigo denim trucker or rock it beneath a chambray shirt for casually cool days around town.

The American Giant Classic Long-Sleeve Crew is the sort of T-shirt that might make you rethink what it means to wear one of the best long-sleeve T-shirts — either green or navy stripes add some style points, as do the contrasting cuffs.

It’s not quite as heavy as a crewneck sweatshirt, it’s more substantial than a pima cotton T-shirt, and it’s reliable as can be. While the American Giant Classic Long-Sleeve Crew is pricier than a standard T-shirt from a bargain-bin retailer, it’s a difference you can feel, and that’s a stylish touch I can appreciate. If you feel the same way, one of the best USA-made T-shirts is yours for the taking.

And the Flint and Tinder American Heavyweight Pocket T-shirt fits the bill in every way, shape and form — let’s take a look, shall we?

Best American-made T-shirt.

It all starts with fabric and construction when it comes down to it, and the use of a garment-dyed, washed yet sturdy and heavyweight 8.55 oz cotton sets this tee apart from the pack. The Flint and Tinder American Heavyweight Pocket T-shirt also features a ribbed collar with spandex and rebound to help it retain its shape, while the classic, not-too-baggy, not-too-tight fit of your new favorite pocket T-shirt should also prove flattering.

See Now, Buy Now: This American-Made Flint and Tinder T-Shirt is the Perfect Casual Spring Style Move

Best casual T-shirt for men.

I tend to say sometimes here at your favorite Brooklyn style blog that they don’t make ’em like they used to, unless, of course, we’re talking about the best menswear from Huckberry. The retailer, which specializes in the classics made modern, all in rugged-yet-versatile fashion that’s geared for adventure, still hones in on what makes iconic styles great.

And in the case of the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt, that just so happens to mean that they’re making this subtly stylish, versatile men’s T-shirt in the United States from premium materials.

In this instance, that means they’re using garment-dyed slub cotton jersey fabric for a soft touch and soft finish, whether layered up underneath your favorite chambray shirt, worn beneath one of the best denim trucker jackets or styled all on its own with breezy chino shorts.

Huckberry notes that the use of slub cotton jersey fabric gives the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt some weight, durability and texture, and it should prove the kind of T-shirt that doesn’t lose its shape over time. The chest pocket on the aptly named Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt also gives it a touch of subtle style — it makes this classic T-shirt look less like an undershirt, and much more like a casually cool T-shirt you can wear all on its own.

And especially when paired with rolled light wash denim and suede chukka boots, the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt is going to prove an expert laidback style move. It also comes in a range of colors and sizes, and Flint and Tinder’s fit should prove flattering without being too baggy or too tight.

It’s precisely what you want in one of the best T-shirts for men, especially one of the best American-made T-shirts. And since they just don’t make ’em like they used to anymore, it’s worth securing the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt while you’ve got the chance this spring.

The Thursday Buy: This Rugged Buck Mason Crew is the Perfect Layer to End Summer

Best lightweight sweater for men.

There’s going to come a time in your search for men’s style essentials where you need a piece or two that the line between “too much” and “just right.” Allow me to explain, folks.

In the same way that you need a lightweight blazer and lightweight men’s jeans for summer, rather than something cut for fall or winter, a transitional T-shirt to carry you from late summer into early fall can prove quite handy in a multitude of situations — even more than you might think, in fact.

And this, my friends, is where Buck Mason comes into play with the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Crew. If you follow along with the blog, you know it’s easier than ever to find what you’re looking for at the rugged, all-American retailer, and the ante is upped even further.

Shop Buck Mason T-shirts now

You see, the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Crew is neither as lightweight as the brand’s perfectly breezy, expertly crafted USA-made tees, nor is it as heavy as some Buck Mason sweaters for the fall and winter months — in short, it’s the perfect T-shirt to close out summer and look towards fall.

And as its name would imply, the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Crew is a rough-and-tumble piece you can wear casually (beneath a chambray shirt or your favorite zip hoodie at a late summer bonfire) or for pursuits far afield (layered over a waxed jacket on a camping trip). It’s made from a cotton jersey fabric that’s twice as heavy as Buck Mason T-shirts, so it should drape nicely and layer easily.

Note that the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Crew also features a side-split hem and reinforced stitching at the elbows, not unlike some traditional rugby polo shirts (minus the somewhat dressier collar).

And the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Crew features a tailored fit with room to move (likely similar to other Buck Mason tees, in my experience). It’s the kind of rugged layer every guy can use, particularly if you want a stylish tee to wear with jeans, yet not one that’s as light as the option you’d reach for in the high heat of summer.

You see? The Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Crew is neither too heavy nor too light: It’s just right, and in my experience, that’s what your wardrobe needs now. Go to it, my friends.

To be sure, I’m always on the hunt for one of the best T-shirts for men, something with soft fabric, a timeless fit and ideally, in a visually appealing array of colors. Of course, if you read the blog, you know that Buck Mason makes some of the best men’s T-shirts in the business, and that’s where the Buck Mason Faded Venice Wash Pocket Tee enters your casual wardrobe.

And while it might be seemingly simple, it’s the details (like fit, fabric and that classic soft wash) that really make the difference.

Of its wide array of stylish men’s T-shirts, the Buck Mason Faded Venice Wash Pocket Tee might be one of the more distinctive, seeing as it’s made in America at Buck Mason Knitting Mills using USA-grown cotton. That makes the Buck Mason Faded Venice Wash Pocket Tee pricier than your average T-shirt, to be sure.

But in my experience, that’s a difference you can feel from the second you put on this classic pocket tee, and that’s something worthy of a higher price tag, too. It’s also designed in a vintage fit with straight hem (unlike Buck Mason’s famed curved hem T-shirts).

From there, the slub cotton — plus the single-needle reinforced pocket tee — give this shirt enough depth and style points to be worn on its own all day long. If you want the best, even in more simple pieces, shop with a brand you can trust to deliver on the timeless icons, like a highly wearable pocket T-shirt. Luckily, Buck Mason has you all sorted out.
