When it comes to everyday essentials, nothing beats the perfect tee. At NSF, we’ve spent years perfecting our core basics—from relaxed, slouchy fits to fitted muscle tees and layering tanks that feel just right. All of our styles are crafted in premium fabrics, garment-dyed in Los Angeles, and made to live in. Whether you’re building your everyday uniform or refreshing your closet staples, this is your go-to guide to the best basic tees for women.
We listened — and evolved
You’ll find refined finishes, while still keeping that signature NSF vibe. A few favorites, like the Alessi, still feature our inside-out seams and the Chloe with raw hems.
Most importantly: they’re built to last.
We plan to keep these core styles in stock year-round, with fresh seasonal colors offered throughout the year.
And to give even more options, we’re introducing two new styles into the mix—adding fresh silhouettes to the lineup you already love.
Meet the Core Lineup
The Chloe Muscle Tee features a fitted silhouette in garment-dyed jersey, designed to hug the body without clinging. Finished with raw edges and a clean crewneck, it’s our elevated take on the everyday muscle tee. Core colors offered in Soft White, Faded Black and Heather Gray. SHOP ALL CHLOE TEES HERE
