Amazon Essentials Stretch Short Sleeve Crewneck Reviews Summary

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "They fit as expected and are just a simple work out shirt that I need."
• "These shirts fit just as well, if not better, than similar one's I've purchased from Gap, and a fraction of the price."
• "Absolutely love the fit and material of this shirt."
• "Love this top. I’m 5’2” at 130 lbs. Sized up based on reviews to large. Fits great. A little roomy but not baggy at all. Love the length."
• "I like the fit of the shirt around my chest and arms."
• "They fit perfect and feel great on my body."
• "It fits well, even across a very full bustline, and the material is lightweight."

Cons:

• "They also run a bit larger than I expected."
• "The XXL tops were too long and snug in the hips."
• "Even though they fit, they were still too snug for my liking."
• "It was tight across my chest but looser around the hips and waist."
• "The shirts have huge neck openings, are super long, and run big on sizing."
• "For a Large, these do not hang from the shoulders, resulting in tightness at the hip and riding up."

Material Quality

Pros:

• "Looks fresh. Washes and wears well."
• "Such great quality. Not quite like a slick elastic material, a little softer and thicker! Fits very well around the shoulders and plenty loose around the tummy area :) definitely purchasing more!!"
• "The material is so soft and breathable. You won’t regret the purchase."
• "The t-shirts have washed and worn perfectly. Nice fabric, very wrinkle resistant."
• "The material quality, which allows for a flattering drape even in a looser fit."
• "These shirts are well made, light, breathable and quick dry."
• "Soft cotton with just the right amount of stretch makes this an everyday tee you’ll love to live in."

Cons:

• "However, the first time I wore it I broke out in a rash."
• "Additionally, one of the shirts seam came undone after the first wash which shows how poor the quality is."
• "The quality control seems to be lacking a bit, hence the 4 star review."
• "The chemical smell is pretty disgusting. Even after washing it’s still there."
• "The shirts had a terrible odor that stayed on my hands."
• "The fabric had a smell similar to a new swimsuit even after washing it."
• "The threading in one of the sleeves came loose after 2 washes and now the hem is undone."

Design and Style

Pros:

• "Colors are perfect and bright without being crazy."
• "Cute, sporty as well as casual dress."
• "I like the colors in the set. I got pink and grey. I like that the neck doesn't go very low so I can do practical things and work out around others without exposure."
• "These shirts are great! They are nice and light for working out and for wearing out in warm weather."
• "These are such quality shirts for the price!"
• "I like this two pack of workout shirts."
• "These beautifully colored tees are comfortable, breathe nicely and wash up nicely with no weird stretching."

Cons:

• "I don't like that it is very long."
• "One is fine but the other has a huge neck cutouts."
• "I am so disappointed. I read the reviews but did not look closely enough. There is no way I would've thought the hot pink shirt in the pictures was the shirt that is advertised as coral."
• "The same applied to the blue. So know in ordering this coloring set, the colors are much darker than what is shown."
• "FYI-the plain yellow is much darker than what the descriptive picture shows."
• "Great work out shirts just know that...the pink one is really a neon dark orangey pink that looks like something you would wear doing roadside work or with your best 80's outfit."
• "The shirts aren't tailored for women's curves so they fit a bit odd around the hips/waist."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "These are definitely worth the price."
• "These are great I was actually looking at potentially purchasing another set today. Worth the money I have had mine for at least half a year maybe even a year or more."
• "What a bargain!"
• "I bought a couple of packs of these shirts to wear while working from home, and they’re a great value for the price."
• "I really like these shirts. After ordering one set of colors I ordered more. For the quality the price is unbeatable."
• "Been wearing them for months now and they have held up to multiple wash/dry cycles."
• "I LOVE these T-shirts and have purchased in several colors. They’ve held up well in the wash, fit like a dream and are super comfortable for workouts/running."

Cons:

• "Definitely a big waste of money."
• "Read the reviews before you buy — the colors are inaccurate."
• "You get what you pay for I guess."
• "Don’t expect these to last you a lifetime."
• "Once again, when Amazon runs out of their Amazon Essentials clothing, the replacement is smaller. Too unpredictable for me to continue to purchase."
• "Runs very, very small. Could not wear neither could my daughter who is much smaller then I."
• "I didn't realize until I had purchased multiple different colors that the ones called 'space dye' as part of the color name fit much tighter than the solid colors of the exact same size."

Use for Exercise

• "These shirts are so comfortable I bought another pair. They are breathable and comfortable for exercising."

• "These are great tops for working out."

Cons:

• "I don't use this for working out because it's too hot."
• "However the sweat stains were very obviously visible on the top after my class."
