PAKA Women's Essential V-Neck vs Essentials Women's Signature Classic Tee

The PAKA Essential V-Neck is the better-made top of the two. It uses traceable alpaca fiber blended with organic Pima cotton, has a deep V with an open back, removable cups and UV 50+ protection, and owners consistently call it soft, flattering and true to size. The Essentials Signature Classic Tee is a plain cotton crew-neck that is simpler and easier to care for, but it offers no stretch, no sun protection and no shaping. Buy the PAKA if you want a soft, breathable layer with a flattering neckline; buy the Essentials tee if you just want a basic cotton crew.

• Choose the PAKA Essential V-Neck if you want a soft, thermoregulating top with a deep V, open back and removable cups that works across climates.
• Choose the Essentials Signature Classic Tee if you want a plain, easy-care cotton crew-neck for everyday layering.
