This New T-Shirt Brand Wants You to Meet the People Who Made Your Top

Gap Organic Cotton Vintage Shrunken T-Shirt

This white tee is intentionally shrunk, which honestly makes its fit all the better. It boasts a straight silhouette, a classic crewneck, and a semi-cropped hemline, all of which make this t-shirt elevated enough for work, but more casual for weekend wear. It's cut from a super soft, 100% organically grown cotton material that allows ample airflow.

This Gap tee has earned 4.5/5 stars with 79 certified 5-star ratings. Shoppers love how simplistic the style is:

"Fabric is cool but not too thin."

"Clean and simple but still feels pretty."

The Gap Organic Cotton Vintage Shrunken T-Shirt is shoppable in sizes XXS-XXL for $12.

SanaRazo White Short Sleeve Crop Top

Made specifically for a 'slim fit', this t-shirt that you can snag on Amazon is visibly cropped to the perfect length. The hem lands a bit above the belly button, similar to your average baby tee. You will likely love it if you tend to wear high-waisted pants and want a balanced look. This tee is definitely more form-fitting than the previous Gap design, but it doesn't squeeze the body or arms tight at all. It's made from smooth and sweat-wicking breathable cotton material with a touch of spandex for added stretch, which is always appreciated for movin' around.

This SanaRazo shirt has earned 4.8/5 stars with 30 thorough 5-star reviews. Shoppers enjoy the overall material and how it fits them:

"Great quality, shirt fits very nicely."

"Love the thickness in material."

"It's a a slim fit, but not too tight."

The SanaRazo White Short Sleeve Crop Top is available in sizes XS-XL for $15.

Comfort Colors Women's Short Sleeve Tee

I love the 100% cotton material that Comfort Colors uses for their t-shirts. It's quite thick and durable, which may sacrifice a bit of breathability, but at least I know it's gonna last me a long time. I will note that the fabric has the potential to fade slightly, depending on how you wash it. In my opinion, the fading gives it stylish edge. It just might not be everyone's thing!

This pick is fairly plain as far as white t-shirts go. It boasts a semi-fitted silhouette if you buy it in your usual size, but you can always size up for an oversized feel (which I prefer), or down for a body-hugging look.

This Comfort Colors tee has earned 4/5 stars with 1,929 5-star reviews. One criticism users have noted about the product is the sizing does run small. Here's what a few helpful reviews say:

"Be sure to order a size up, they run small."

"Comfort Colors is my go-to brand when I have a choice. Always can depend on the right fit and fabric that does not shrink or fall apart after washing."

"Love, love, love this shirt."

This Comfort Colors Women's Short Sleeve Tee is currently shoppable in sizes XS-XXL for $11 (was $15) on Amazon.

Easy Gala Short Sleeve Scoop Neck T-Shirt

The signature quality of this white t-shirt is that it's buttery-soft to the touch and massively stretchy. It's crafted from a blend of 76% polyamide and 24% elastane, which lends it to unmatched comfort. The noticeable stretch can adapt to a range of shirt sizes, which is especially impressive if you tend to fluctuate between sizes (totally normal, BTW). The double-lined fabric forms to your body and smooths things down a bit. The elevated square neckline is really cool, too, if you just want to wear something a lil' different!

This Easy Gala white tee has earned 4.3/5 stars with 31 5-star reviews. Shoppers are impressed by the quality and fit:

"The fabric is very soft and very stretchy. The whole item is double-lined, even the sleeves. It feels really comfortable and provides some tummy control."

"This shirt makes me look and feel pretty sexy. It stretches but fit perfectly. Love the color options. Make of pretty strong material."

"Has not pilled after washing."

You can find the Easy Gala Short Sleeve Scoop Neck T-Shirt in sizes XS-XL for $20 on Amazon.

Beumissy Women's Casual Crewneck T-Shirt

This next pick is *almost* like a baby tee, except boasts a longer hemline. The shorter sleeves (which are not quite cap sleeves, but not quite traditional either) emit a very feminine vibe, which can instantly dress up any ensemble you put together. This tee flaunts a high-cut, high-coverage crewneck. It's cut from 91% cotton and 9% elastane, so you get some good some stretch from this versatile top.

This Beumissy white t-shirt has earned 4.4/5 stars. Shoppers like the fit and feel of it, but some reviewers have noted that the fabric can be see-through:

"Ladies, wear a bra with this one."

"Usually, clothing tends to be cropped even if it's not specified but this was a nice full length shirt which works perfectly with low rise pants!"

"The fabric is stretchy and bounces back to the original size and shape when it’s off."

The Beumissy Women's Casual Crewneck T-Shirt is shoppable in sizes S-XL for $15.

BDG Universal Shrunken Tee

This BDG tee comes purposely shrunken for a closer-to-the-body fit. It mimics most basic t-shirt silhouettes, except the hemline is slightly cropped, landing right around the waist. It's made from 100% soft-washed cotton for a cozy feel. This pick is pretty classic, plus it comes in a range of different colors and patterns to explore if you end up loving this white one!

This shirt has earned 4.3/5 stars from real shoppers:

"Cute and goes with everything!"

"I would definitely recommend sizing up one or two sizes if you really want a more baggier boxier fit."

You can find the BDG Universal Shrunken Tee in sizes XS-XXL for $20 from Urban Outfitters.

Everlane The Organic Cotton Box-Cut Tee

This tee is truly timeless. It features a classic crewneck, a slightly cropped hemline, and a very loose, relaxed fit throughout. It's crafted from 100% organic cotton, which helps make wearing it super breathable and soft to the touch. Whether you wear it with jeans or a skirt, it's gonna feel supremely comfy!

This best-selling Everlane t-shirt has earned 4.6/5 stars with 664 5-star reviews. Shoppers say it's a great buy:

"They are the absolute best - very classic, soft cotton fabric and easy to launder. Great relaxed fit without being clingy or oversized."

"This has become a go to staple. I have wide shoulders and a short waist, and I am really happy with the fit of this tee on me."

"I recommend going one size up from your typical non-Everlane size."

The Everlane The Organic Cotton Box-Cut Tee is shoppable in many colors and sizes XXS-XXXL for $30. You can also buy a version with a front pocket accent in the same colors and sizes.

Monica Barbaro loved working with Timothée Chalamet on 'A Complete Unknown.'

Monica revealed in a Rolling Stone interview that she met Timothée Chalamet a week before filming — and that he was already more-or-less in character. "The first time we met was a music rehearsal," she tells Brit + Co exclusively. "So we just really launched right into it, which was nice because I admired his work so much from afar and any level of intimidation that I may have had, I could just sort of funnel into music prep, which was great."

"It was a beautiful experience of getting to hear our voices harmonize as these characters and hear the accompaniment of our guitars," she continues. "And we were able to kind of like anchor ourselves in the music and have sort of a meeting of minds that was maybe a little more similar to Joan and Bob because they met in the music scene as already very proficient musicians. So that was a beautiful magical day. And then we like launched right into filming."

Monica Barbaro (who you'll recognize from Top Gun2) stars as musician Joan Baez, and even though Monica had to learn how to play guitar for the role, you'd never guess just by watching the film. She carries herself with such confidence and ease that I'd have believed she'd been playing her whole life. And the fact her voice sounds like a Disney princess is just the cherry on top.

"I'm not a singer, I didn't play guitar," she says. "So there was sort of this introductory level thing going on where I just had to figure out how to form my hands and in some way, I thought about how she might have done that at like 14, I think, when she first picked up guitar. But that was just like an overhaul of everything — I mean, all my time just poured into that training."

She was doing her own research, but also worked with vocal coach Eric Vetro, who's also worked with Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Shawn Mendes. "He encouraged me to consider what the lyrics of songs meant to her," Monica says. "Because the best musicians are storytellers and that's one of the best things about he renditions of these folk songs is you feel the story of the song."

And because of that, focusing on the lyrics "was also a part of the character development. So there were sort of siloed things like voice, guitar research, and then her speaking voice," she says. "And then all of those things started to just kind of like meld, you know. You have to play and sing at the same time and tell a story and do it from the perspective of Joan. And so so they just sort of over time kind of like bridged."

But no matter how much prep Monica, Timothée, and Elle Fanning (who stars as Sylvie Russo) did for the film, they still had to film in the middle of New York City, which came with its own set of 2024-specific challenges. "It was interesting to be filming and have people sneaking videos and posting them on the internet," she says, admitting that she "really just tried to turn all of that off to the best of my ability."

The film highlights the tension between celebrity and fame, considering we meet Bob Dylan right before he becomes, well, Bob Dylan. "It's a privilege to have to have so much attention and excitement on a project and I appreciate the intent, but you kind of just sort of turn it off a little bit and disengage," Monica says, "especially when you're talking about just a very different kind of fame in the sixties."
