The Best Long-Sleeve T-Shirts for Winter (With Outfit Ideas to Match)

While you may rely on your favorite short-sleeve tees to use as key layering pieces in your fall and winter 'fits, long-sleeve tees are also often a go-to when you need even more warmth. Sure, there might be a style or two in your offering, but if you're looking for a fresh long-sleeve tee to add to your mix, you've landed in the right spot.
Yep, below I rounded up a few of the best long-sleeve T-shirts for winter. How did I find said tops? I actually scrolled through the reviews of various silhouettes and pulled out the styles that were top-rated with over four stars and above. I also wanted to provide you with some fresh outfit ideas as well that could be worn with any of the long-sleeve tees in question (or really, any T-shirt in general). I'm talking about everything from comfy loungewear looks to directional layered vibes.
Keep scrolling for a bit of shopping and styling inspiration, complete with actual customer testimonials showcasing the reviews of the tees featured.
Black Tees
"I've given plenty of brands a try when it comes to a basic, black, long-sleeve tee, and this is by the far the best! It's subtly ribbed with a great neckline (not too wide). It's also a great length! I'm 5'7, and it hits perfectly when wearing nearly all my mid and high-rise denim." — msnev
"I love this shirt—it's soft and comfortable, and excellent either layered or on its own. The fabric, though thin, feels warm and cozy as soon as you slide the tee over your head, yet would be fine for warmer weather as well. A wardrobe keeper!" — Emmi331
Style tip: Add a slouchy maxi coat to a T-shirt, jeans, and boots 'fit to bring the vibe to the next level.
White Tees
Style tip: A trench coat layered over a tee with black pants and sneakers is no-fail and effortless.
Turtleneck Tees
"I ordered this in 'pale dawn' and the photo doesn't do the colors justice. The two colors are more of a pale blue and an okra/mustard dusty color, but they actually look great together. I got my usual size small and it fits great. The neck part is nice and loose so it doesn't squeeze you. I'll be wearing it as a base layer under flannels and jumpers! For reference, I'm 5'4", 140 lbs, 30G." — Astronautkelly
Style tip: Tuck a turtleneck tee into a midi skirt with knee-high boots for a simple yet sleek silhouette.
Ribbed Tees and Henleys
"I bought the black, gray and white. They exceeded my expectations, I love them. They are extremely soft and comfortable and have a really nice soft clingy fit. I also love the length. Perfect length that that will stretch down basically as long as you want, and when I raise my arms, it stays put. True to size. Love them so much I just ordered the ruby and one more spare black." — Mol4
Style tip: A ribbed tee with knit pants is cozy yet chic.
