When it comes to versatility, there's nothing better than a great V-neck tee. From graphic to patterned to solid, your options are practically endless with this closet staple. Here's the thing about a great basic V-neck: You can certainly rock it with a pair of jeans, but its versatility knows no bounds.
Going out? V-neck. Staying in? V-neck. Have literally anything to do? V-neck. You really can't ever have enough.
But with staple status comes an intimidating amount of tee options. Sure, you can snag a basic black V-neck — a piece that should never, ever be underrated — pretty much anywhere. Same goes for white, red, pink, yellow, and every other member of Roy G. Biv spectrum. But what if you're looking for something a bit more jazzy?
These snazzier tees may be a bit hard to find — especially for plus-size women. If you want a big of flare, you might have to do some extra searching. But a staple with some style is certainly worth the hunt.
These 15 plus size tees are here to help grow your collection of totally essential V-necks. From shirts with your favorite animals to tops with strappy details, you no longer have to style basics in a #basic way. Now, it's time to shop.
