I wear this striped shirt from J.Crew weekly — and it's only $30 (that's 40% off) for Presidents' Day
J.Crew's Presidents' Day sale will save you up to 40% on almost everything.
One of my simple joys in life is getting dressed in an outfit I feel great in. I love picking out the perfect ensemble for my day — most of the time. But, of course, there are inevitably times when I am in a rush, have no idea what to wear and somehow hate everything in my closet. That's when I reach for J.Crew's Classic Mariner Cloth Boatneck T-shirt. And right now, my beloved wardrobe staple is 40% off during J.Crew's Presidents' Day sale, so I plan on adding another color to my collection while it's so affordable. How do I love this shirt? Let me count the ways...
But before I launch into poetry, if you are as big of a fan of deals as I am, check out Yahoo's big list of all the best Presidents' Day sales happening right this very second.
This striped shirt is so timeless, that there is truly no wrong way to style it. Grab your normal size and don't be too shocked at how often you find yourself wearing it.
Why is this a good deal?
Typically retailing for $50, this shirt is currently on sale for just $30. While saving a cool $20 is great for our wallets, we won't blame you if you use that $20 on something else that's part of the retailer's massive Pre-spring Event. This 100% cotton shirt can be worn all year long, so trust me when I say it has plenty of bang for your buck.
Why do I need this?
This shirt is so versatile, it goes with every bottom in my closet — seriously. It looks cute when I wear it casually with jeans, it looks preppy and slightly nautical when I pair it with a skirt and it looks professional when I wear it with trousers to the office. The fact that this top can be styled in a ton of different ways is why I wear it almost weekly and why it's my go-to choice on mornings when I have no idea what to wear.
While my favorite stripe combo is ivory and navy, you can also shop this shirt in red and navy or black and white, as well as solid black. Currently, all colors of this top are on sale and in stock in all sizes XXS-3XL.
The boatneck neckline of the shirt is also incredibly flattering. It comes up above your collarbone but it is cut wider than a regular crewneck, so this shirt always looks and feels more stylish than a normal scoop neck tee. Plus, the torso of this top is roomy enough to be comfy, without being frumpy. You won't get lost in the fabric, but it's also not tight whatsoever.
What reviewers say
While I love this top and am happy to sing its praises, it's also earned a few five-star ratings on J.Crew's website.
One pleased shopper called this "the best stripe tee" and went on to describe it as a "soft but hefty cotton tee. Love the shorter length, a great staple for your spring wardrobe."
Another five-star reviewer exclaimed that it is a "great quality top" and that it "fits true to size." They loved the top so much that they even got one for their mom.

If stripes aren't your thing, this shirt also comes in black. While you probably have a stack of plain white tees, this flattering black one is sure to be a welcome addition to your wardrobe.
