I'm extremely particular about t-shirts, but this one brand always meets my expectations.
As I’ve aged, I've grown to truly value the transformative impact of high-quality wardrobe essentials—particularly the frequently neglected T-shirt and tank top. These items form the backbone of an outfit, whether styled solo or layered beneath other clothing. Over the last year, I embarked on a quest to find the ideal versions—experimenting with numerous cuts, fabrics, and fits to discover that rare combination of elegance and comfort. This journey culminated in April when I found the Amsterdam-based brand Flore Flore.
It all started in Paris, while I was exploring Galeries Lafayette. Among the vast array of designers, a collection of minimalist yet eye-catching tops drew my attention and quite literally halted me in my tracks. There was something about them—the quality, the structure, the effortless sophistication that suggested they were much pricier than their actual cost. I knew I had to try them on. However, it wasn’t until I returned to New York (and yes, I missed the VAT refund—beginner’s mistake) that I finally placed my order. I’m incredibly glad I did.
Flore Flore's prices are on the higher end for basic tees and tanks, but there's a solid rationale behind it. The fit, feel, and finishing are all far superior to typical basics. So, if you're interested in finding out which specific Flore Flore styles have secured a permanent place in my wardrobe, along with my honest reviews and some additional elevated essentials that could enhance your collection, keep reading.
What I Tried from Flore Flore

**My Review:** Perhaps it’s just me, but locating a white tank top that's not ribbed and isn’t see-through seems almost impossible nowadays. This is why I appreciated Flore Flore’s Hillie top—it’s lightweight while offering complete coverage, with no visible bra lines. The delicate spaghetti straps surprised me with their sturdiness, and unlike many others, they stayed put on my shoulders. While I typically don’t wear it alone, I enjoy pairing it with a cardigan or an oversized leather jacket for an elevated look.
**Size Range:** XS-XL
**Material:** Organic cotton
**Sizing Tip:** True to size

**Hillie Tank Top**

**My Review:** As an editor, I must be truthful—and this means highlighting a favorite when it genuinely stands out. Among all the Flore Flore tops I tried, the Hillie tank is the standout. Its wide straps and clean, rounded neckline provide the perfect mix of structure and simplicity. The hem is just right, making it easy to tuck into trousers or jeans while leaving the perfect amount of fabric to fall naturally—a small detail that greatly enhances the polished appearance. What truly distinguishes it, however, is how it holds me in and smooths everything out.
**Size Range:** XS-XL
**Material:** Organic cotton
**Sizing Tip:** True to size

**Esme Tank Top**

**My Review:** Featuring a higher neckline and thicker straps, this muscle tank top feels noticeably more modest and refined than your average tank. It runs true to size and manages to be both form-fitting and forgiving, snug yet stretchy, with the ideal amount of give. Unlike standard tank tops, this muscle tank can easily be tucked into trousers or a pencil skirt for a professional look.
**Size Range:** XS-XL
**Material:** Organic cotton
**Sizing Tip:** True to size

**Jill Baby Tee**

**My Review:** Recently, I've developed a fondness for high V-neck tops. There's something about them that exudes a polished sophistication, providing a more refined alternative to standard or low V-necks. So when I discovered Flore Flore’s high V-neck tee, I had to try it—and I completely loved it. Made from the same soft organic cotton as the other tops I tried, it’s thick and snug without being heavy or tight. The sleeves sit beautifully on the shoulders, and the hem is perfectly lengthened for tucking into my mid-rise Khaite jeans. It receives an A+ from me.
**Size Range:** XS-XL
**Material:** Organic cotton
**Sizing Tip:** Size down one

What Else I Recommend from Flore Flore:
- Layer this under a sweater or wear it solo with jeans and a belt.
**Dewi Tank Top**
- With its ivory tone and deep V-neck, this is an ideal elevated tank top.
**Dewi Midi Dress**
- I can’t get enough of the neckline and 3/4-length sleeves.
**Rosie Cotton Shirt**
- A fantastic transitional piece.
**Pink Esmé Tank
