I have always liked J.Crew's vintage cotton tees -- but the company's silk-back tees, new this spring, I like even better.

These combine the softness and lightweightness of J.Crew's classic vintage cotton tee but have a looser, more casual fit, and the silk bottom and back make it a little more formal and interesting, and thus office-appropriate.

I've already bought three: one in white, one in brilliant blue (pictured) and, my favorite, one in light sky blue. I'm planning on wearing them over cropped white pants and tucked into high-waisted pencil skirts this spring.

If you decide to pick one up for yourself, I recommend buying a size down.

J.Crew vintage cotton silk-back tee, $55 ($41 with the code HAPPYSHOPPING through Tuesday), available at J.Crew.
