Cotton Tees

I am reallllly picky with clothing materials, especially when it comes to basics and things I wear often. I always look for 100% cotton, because it is a natural material and feels great on my skin being more breathable, soft (and sometimes it's also stiff/holds its shape better) and non-irritating.


I've usually been getting cotton basics for the past how many years from anywhere, even including Big W, Kmart and Target because they sell the most basic stuff and I'm just looking for 100% cotton. Other clothing stores tend to have basics with other materials blended in, or 100% polyester (nooooooooooooo!) and it's usually more expensive too. I guess a lot of the time they LOOK nicer but I wouldn't pay more to get less comfortable material.


These tees are from David Jones, all Bonds brand. Original prices aren't too expensive compared to most clothing stores, but it will definitely cost more than places like Target and Kmart. However, brands like Bonds go on sale all the time! (And never at Target, Kmart, Big W etc.) I bought all of these at different times but during a 40% off sale. Myer also does these too but I find that David Jones stocks more 'clothing' items than Myer.

The grey/white striped crew neck was $14 or so, and I got it in a Large size for an oversized relaxed look. The ringer-style tees in the black stripes and plain black (perfect for work) were $18? I actually don't remember the exact prices but they were definitely under $20. The classic ringer style tees are thicker and more 'ribbed' like in material, and hugs your body more than the crewneck. I think Bonds is pretty good at matching the material of the shirt with the fit of it - but you can always pick random sizes like me for whatever look you prefer.

And great thing about all these - 100% cotton!!! Andddd they fit. These tees come pretty small I reckon - which I think is a good thing. Considering my AU6 size requires a size 10 in these Bonds tees. That way you can get a tight fitting top (which I quite like) or a loose fit. So versatile!
