Think this trendy $8 t-shirt is a ‘basic’ Prime Day buy? Think again (we bought multiple)

Putting a $50 price tag on a basic white tee feels borderline criminal — but these days, it’s hardly uncommon.

That is probably part of the reason thousands of Amazon shoppers are obsessing over the Trendy Queen Women’s Short Sleeve T-Shirt. This butter-soft white T-shirt is described as feeling like a “second skin,” and at just $8 during Amazon Prime Day, it practically sells itself.

Prime Day, which runs from June 23 to 26 this year, offers just a few days to shop the deal that our editors and team members swear is well worth it. Vice President of Commerce, Jacqueline Goldstein, calls her Trendy Queen tee one of the most “solid” and versatile shirts she’s purchased.

She ended up loving it so much that she had to order more than one.

“I was influenced by our Page Six coverage of this T-shirt and had to try it,” Goldstein explained. “At that price, I bought two. I tend to go through white T-shirts quickly, and have a ton in all different shapes. This one is a little bit more stretchy and snug.”

She adds that it works perfectly tucked into jeans for a polished, put-together look.

This piece can truly do it all: pajama-level comfort, errand-ready ease and simple workwear layering.

It’s designed to drape just right without clinging, with buttery-soft fabric that feels great against the skin and resists wrinkles — so you stay comfortable while still looking effortlessly put-together. Reviewers also note that it washes well, holds its shape and isn’t as see-through as other white tees.

The brand also offers inclusive sizing from X-Small to XXXX-Large, along with a range of colors and patterns beyond the plain white silhouette.
