Sheer Jersey Short Sleeve Summer T-Shirt Reviews

• As far as T-shirts go, this is one of the best...

  This American Apparel "Summer Tee" is about everything you want in that 'perfect tee'. I am a black T-shirt connoisseur of sorts, I own over 45 black T-shirts, all from different brands, as I wear a black T-shirt 6 out of 7 days a week. I am 6ft tall, and a bit on the larger side for females, I wear a size 14 jeans and usually a L or XL shirt. I look for 4 things in a T-Shirt: 1.) richness of color 2.) Lightweight material 3.) Length (I cannot stand it when a shirt is short, it makes you look wider..and being 6ft tall, this happens to me a LOT) and 4.) Shape/cut of the T-shirt. It shouldn't be too fitted, which is unforgiving, but cut so that it does contour a bit, and not give you that 'cloth sack' look.
  
  This American Apparel T has all 4 qualities. The black of this black t-shirt is rich and dark, and hasn't faded through 5 washes yet (I wash in a gentle cycle, and hang dry..NEVER put your shirts in a dryer if you want them to last, folks!), and always appears to look 'new', unlike a lot of other brands (ahem..Hanes and Fruit of the Loom, I'm talking to you!!).
  Next, the cotton of this shirt is just lightweight enough so that it is cool in summer, can be layered in winter without looking bulky, and yet, if you are wearing it, you cannot see your undergarments through it (at least on the black shirt, I haven't tried lighter colors). Most 'tissue' or 'layering' shirts are TOO thin, and reveal your bra color to the world. I HATE 'beefy' tees, and while those might be good if you are doing extreme physical labor outside, they don't look good on anyone, and retain an awful shape.
  The length of this shirt is perfect. Usually there is no such thing as too long for me, but there is ALWAYS 'too short', and this T-shirt is exactly what I need length-wise. It covers my stomach, and falls about halfway down to my hip, so it doesn't look like I am wearing a nightshirt, but it does prevent any 'riding up'.
  Lastly, the shape and cut of this shirt exceeded my expectations. It is described as a 'tailored to flatter' shirt, and that it is. It slightly contours a bit down the sides, so if you are female, it will show your curves without hugging them, and if you are male, the sleeves and chest/shoulder area are form fitting enough where it accentuates any bulk you may have in your arms and chest, while hiding anything extra you may have in the stomach. It does this for the ladies too...accentuates your bust, and hides your tummy!
  I did order this in a Men's size L, and haven't tried the women's version, because generally, women's tees are wayyyy too short for me, and the sleeves are too short for my liking. The sleeves on this tee, however, are the perfect length of about an inch and half above the elbow, and they hug a bit, but not too much (no 'bingo arms' here!)
  
  So to sum it up, if you are looking for that ultimate, perfect with everything tee, this is it. It looks great with jeans, jean skirts, and even my long, flowy 'gypsy' skirts. It can be dressed up a bit, with a summer flouncy skirt and some nice accessories, if you have a lunch date or an evening outdoor concert or something like it, or it's perfect for lazing around the house, paired with cotton 'pajama' pants. Buy this one, and none of the others. Avoid Jerzees, Fruit of the Loom, and Hanes like the plague, and do your self a favor and stock up on these tees before they discontinue them or change them in some way. You won't be sorry, I definitely am not!

  Paramount American Apparel quality and style, this shirt is no exception.
  I own many American Apparel shirts, and as they fill up my closet I continue to admire the attention to details, and the actual fabrics rather than a corporate logo and/or a cheesy print.
  This shirt is light weight, thin, and really long for a t-shirt, but I think the longer the better considering cotton is notorious for shrinkage, so I see the length of the shirt as a huge plus.
  I haven't been able to find AA items at this low of a price any where else, and my last order shipped about a week earlier than scheduled.
  I'm very pleased with this shirt, and I want more!
  More colors too please!
