Where to buy good quality t-shirts

That don't cost £50 each but also actually hold their shape and colour?

I just want a few basics, perhaps 3 tops in white and a couple of colours. Have always previously bought from M&S or H&M but the seams twist (H&M) or they go baggy at the collar (M&S). I don't want to waste more money trying out loads of different shops, can anyone recommend any that wash well please?

I'd rather not pay more than about £20 a top, I'm aware that good quality will probably cost a bit more but also I have 3 young DC and anything I buy will almost certainly get stained at some point in the next couple of years so I'm unlikely to keep these forever! TIA.

I haven’t bought any myself yet, but Uniqlo t-shirts have been recommended to me both for quality and price.
i recently bought a classic white t-shirt from Asket, it’s very good - but they are pricey!

I’ve got some great ones from TKMaxx from a brand called ‘nu-in’ for £14.99 each. They wash well and are nice and thick.

They have them in a fair few colours eg White

I have some good ones from Rapanui although their ahapes/fit are annoyingly varied. I have heard Weird Fish are good too.

I second Uniqlo, keep their shape well, loads of choice of necklines.

Needlenardlenoo · 02/02/2026 17:08

Oh and the men's section in Fat Face.

My best-lasting fitted tee shirts are Primark stretch. They last several years and hold colour really well.

For looser tees, I like uniqlo best.

The worst recently have been M&S, M&M or Primark non-stretch. They shrink lengthwise and twist out of shape in the first wash.

Mens from Joseph Turner, Lands End or Seasalt.

MakemineaGandT · 02/02/2026 17:09

Also Navy
and Brown

I second Rapanui. I particularly like their scoop neck t-shirts, so much more flattering than high neck ones when you have big boobs!

ponyinmypocket · 02/02/2026 18:49

Uniqlo and Primark for me!

Uniqlo gets my vote, second is primark but only the 100% cotton ones.
