Best Bet: Gap’s Zip-Back Stripe Top

A subtle twist on a classic staple, this navy-and-white striped tee sports an exposed zipper on the back, which makes it feel even straighter and more slim-fitting than a boxy T-shirt. With heavy cotton knit and nautical Breton stripes, it’s a necessity in any closet.
