Great quality tshirt

This shirt runs bigger than most basic tees since it's more of a boxy fit. I went a size down to an XS (I'm 127 lbs, 5'4", 34c), and it's a perfect fit. It still is loose and not too short.

Pleeeease bring back the Organic Tees!

The boxy cropped fit of this essential tee is just not a good look for my 5'7" broad shouldered LONG torso HOURGLASS athletic figure. Athleta used to carry the organic tees that hit mid hip (couple inches below hip bones), the waist was slightly tapered in (it gave the tee some shape, especially if ...

I absolutely love these tees, I have a bunch of them! I especially love to wear them on travel days. I'm so sad they seem to be phasing them out. Athleta, please keep the Essential tee! #sweepstakes

I love these tops. They were just the right length and the material was perfect. Wish you were still making them!

This is one of my favorite tshirts, as a shorter woman the crop fit is amazing and the material is soft and good for all activities like work or a bike ride. I'd be super disappointed if this tshirt completely disappears. This is the only thing I've bought from athleta in a long time and might be the last if it's gone

Probably one of my favorite products at Athleta. I bought one in gray and immediately bought another one in white. I like to wear this for outdoor activities because it is loose and breathable. The fabric does not feel like a polyester on your skin.
