I select the best t-shirts in the world right now. Choosing which one though is going to be tough. Ranging from your classic workhorse t-shirts to collared sea island options for an elevated look. There are also knitted t-shirts as well as your more commonly found cotton jersey t-shirts, plus linen and merino options. The t-shirt has never been more exciting a piece of clothing.
John Smedley Isis Sea Island Cotton Polo Shirt
One of my favourite t-shirts of all time – the Isis Sea Island Cotton Polo Shirt by John Smedley comes in all manner of colours to suits everyones wardrobe and pallete. This is the sort of t-shirt you can get in Navy and Charcoal to wear as everyday pieces, then push the boat out with brighter colours for when you're on holiday. I have a couple of these and love wearing throughout the summer.

CDLP Midweight T-Shirt
Regular readers might know I'm a big fan or CDLP's t-shirts (especially their Long Sleeve option), but here are two just because I think they're great. A heavier weight option for cooler climates, while the midweight can be worn as a layering option or a standalone item when it's warm.

Sunspel Riviera T-Shirt
Some people might highlight that I should go with Sunspel's Classic T-Shirt, but I prefer the neckline on the Riviera T-Shirt and its midweight cotton is more versatile in my opinion. Originally created for Daniel Craig's James Bond, this t-shirt is great for transitional seasons.

The Resort Co Knitted T-Shirt
A knitted t-shirt is a smarter option and can be born with tailoring. Worn on its own, it goes very well with flannel trousers or vintage army trousers paired with loafers or crisp tennis shoes.

L'Estrange Longsleve T-Shirt
L'Estrange's Classic Tee has been updated into a long sleeve version and it's every bit as good as their original version. Offering an elegant silhouette with split sides at the hem for comfort which seem to work better on the long sleeve better than the short sleeve.

Luca Faloni Linen Jersey T-Shirt
Linen jersey offers great breathable option for when it get really hot. This t-shirt has a rounded bottom hem, giving it something different and akin to a shirt finish.
