Americas Basics: Comfy, Affordable Tees
I recently tried out Brooklyn based company’s Americas Basic tees. Having some cotton basic tops is a great asset to anyone’s closet. Here’s a review of Americas Basics.
In this photo: Racerback Ribbed Tanks - Salma ($6.90 - white), Tank Top With Body Hugging Ribbing - Sara ($6.90), and Summer Casual Short Dress - Jennifer ($8.50 - Fresh Green)
* Sure you can pick up a ribbed tank top anyday at Old Navy. What I liked about Americas Basics is how soft the shirt was and the shape it had to curve with your body and not just hang like a cheap tank does. I LOVE the Summer Casual Short Dress… but um.. it’s totally a shirt. Whoever is wearing this as a dress has got to have one nice can. But it’s a really cute top.. The elastic part acts as a band for the shirt to fall over it for a loose, beautiful top with a built in bra. At that price, I might stock up on Christmas gifts for my girlfriends. I Highly Recommend It!
Overall Rating: B+
Read about shipping and clearance deals…
Online shopping kills me with shipping fees.
Here’s their policy: Orders for continental USA will be charged $5.95 per shipment plus an additional charge of 50 cents per garment.
So say you get my order above that’s $29.75 - that’s now about $10 a pop. Really not that bad for the quality. I wish you could feel the shirts ’cause they’re higher end than Old Navy. Very soft, comfortable, and have a nice style/shape.
Try it out and tell me what you think.
Angelina Jolie is well known for looking great in basics - check out some photos of her in all casual black at Angelina Jolie Watch.
