Basically Amazing

You require only the best. Your honeydew melon white tea is handpicked one day of the year for optimal taste, your beauty sleep rests on a 1200-thread count duvet, and your dog needs his aromatherapy massage like you need your morning latte.

So it's no surprise you expect more than utility from your basic tee. Well, be prepared to have some divine adjectives thrown your way courtesy of fabulous basic lines, American Vintage and Nation Ltd.

American Vintage is a stickler for details and with an ultra-soft line of absolutely delectable basics ranging from delicate Henleys to demure Puff Sleeve tops; they capture a truly luxurious feel. All of their cotton is washed and treated to bring out the gentlest fibers of the fabric. Persnickety finishes like rows of tiny buttons, gathering and petite ribbing add extra glamour. And with a very French color palette that includes names like "Vert Amande" and "Noir" we know your couture taste buds will approve.

Nation Ltd.'s fans read like a who's who of celebrity fashion including Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and of course the Lohan! With an entourage bigger than a P. Diddy party, Nation is delivering on comfort and a relaxed, classic style. Not like they copied American Vintage or anything (it's a chicken-egg thing), but Nation Ltd. uses a special enzyme wash that gingerly muddles the cotton and its hues for an already worn feel. Choose from comfy splendors like their Deep-V tops, Sheer Gauze Tanks and our personal favorite, the "P.E. Shirt".

Now if you could only find a lavender-infused Himalayan laundry detergent...
