From Worn-Out Basics to Fabletics 24-7 Tees — My Honest Take
Editor’s Note: I’ve been a T-shirt guy all my life, so I know my tees. I thought I’d locked in my brand, but the low-quality tees looked slack. I needed the latest tech, durability, and a shirt versatile enough for all kinds of activities. Then I discovered Fabletics — Read my full review below…
My Life Before Fabletics:
As a die-hard T-shirt guy, I’m deeply committed. I once wore a T-shirt to my Uncle Tuffy’s wedding. I figured it was formal enough cause it had a tuxedo print on it. The shirt’s still in my drawer. Uncle Tuffy’s marriage? Over.
I’ve got gym tees, 3X pajama tees, and my prized race tee from the Ugly Sweater 5K I ran a few years ago. Okay, I jogged, but I did cross the finish line and got the free banana.
I recently found True Classic Tees and went all in. As a New Insider, I gave them my email and got the Classic Crew Neck 6-Pack for $89.99. Six tees at $15 a shirt. I thought that was a pretty good deal at the time.
Their Classic Tee comes in Black, Carbon, Navy, Military Green, Heather Gray, and White — sizes S to 3XL. The 60%/40% cotton/poly blend has a hint of stretch — but a hint isn’t enough for me.
Anyway, I wore them everywhere — on dates, to the gym, and pick-up games. But after only three washes, they faded and pilled. Not dramatically, but enough for me to notice. I had to reorder, but that New Insider price? Gone. Full price hits different. It was time to find a better tee.
After seeing countless ads about Fabletics’ crazy low prices, I decided to see if the hype was real. Could I save money and upgrade my tees?
Then I Tried Fabletics:
When I read that Fabletics offers high-performance, style-forward activewear that’s designed for real life, I thought, okay. Let’s check out their popular 24-7 Tee ($54.95, or you can get 3-for-$19 when you sign up as a new VIP member).
After getting burned by the True Classic New Insider deal, I did my homework before signing up for the Fabletics VIP deal.
How the VIP Membership works:
As a new Fabletics VIP, I can score some amazing deals. After my first purchase, I’ll be charged $59.95/month for a Member Credit that can be redeemed for any outfit or item worth up to $100, and is valid for 12 months. If I wanna take a break, I select Skip The Month between the 1st and the 5th of the month for as long as I want. It’s super simple and so cool.
I grabbed the 3-for-$19 tees deal when I joined as a new VIP member, and this ain’t your average T-shirt. Engineered with Fabletics’ signature Hybrid365 fabric, it combines performance-ready features like sweat-wicking, anti-stink tech, and 4-way stretch that’s built for movement.
Available in sizes XS to 4X and 8 core colors like Washed Deep Navy, Utility Green, and Classic Grey Heather (with 10 rotating limited editions). The 24-7 Tee’s fit is spot-on — whether I’m at the gym, flipping burgers on the grill, or chilling with a beer and my latest Netflix binge.
It handles sweat like a pro, and even after countless workouts and washes, I still look awesome. For guys who expect more than a basic cotton tee, this one’s the move.
My Fabletics VIP membership is 100% worth the hype. Their high-quality fabrics, diverse styles, and insane deals give them 5/5 stars in my book.
