There are some days (OK, many days) when I just … cannot. There is no hope of pulling on a nice dress, no prayer of makeup, and hair, psh — it's barely brushed. Some may call that lazy, but to me, it's just called being a busy mom. The days when I can't put a ton of effort into my look, i go for things I know just work for me, which is why every mom needs to own the "perfect" T-shirt. This shirt is hole- and stain-free, has a little style, and just goes with everything.
And for a lot of moms both old and new, this tee from Amazon is just such a shirt.
With color blocking, stripes, and a "flattering" flow, more than 3,500 women gave it a nearly perfect review. The color blocked section is available in eight different varieties, making buying more than one totally worth it.

The reason? Evidently no matter what size you order, moms feel it's a great basic shirt that flatters "mummy tummy" well.
"I bought a shirt like this before, and I hated it," Amazon reviewer Alicia wrote. "The original shirt I bought from a different seller creased weird on the seams and made those areas look terrible. I was extremely skeptical about this purchase. But because it was recommended to me, I thought I would try it. I am so GLAD I did! This shirt blows the other out of the water. I will be purchasing more colors! Of course, as a mom, I wear my pants a little higher because of my mom pouch. This shirt flatters my hips and hourglass figure. I love the dip in the front and back. I seem to have issues with shirts that have that dip because they can make me look larger than I am or they come up too high on the sides. It's honestly perfect for me."
Many other mamas felt the same, also noting the shirt itself was a decent, not-too-thin fabric.
"I love this shirt — and have it in 2 colors! I like the T shirt material top, and the less stretchy bottom. It is very flattering," says reviewer Rycomom. "The style and colors seemed new and fresh to me, which I like. I have washed the shirt once and am sorry to say the sticking came undone — and for that I took away one star. I can fix it — but come on, after one wash? It was in the horizontal stitching between the 2 types of fabric which gets no stress at all when you wear it."
In particular, moms loved how this shirt was not only flattering but could be easily dressed up or down.
"It fits so good! I’m 5’2” and weigh about 120 and ordered a small," reviewer Olivia Jenkins wrote. "When I first pulled it out I thought it was HUGE until I put it on. Love it! So cute, so flattering (mom bod), and can be easily dressed up or down…"
And if you're concerned about fall weather making a T-shirt pointless, don't worry. The company has a long sleeve version too!
Here's to not looking like a mess at school drop-off … most of the time.
