The middle ground between the cotton mock neck tank top and the long sleeve shirt, this shirt comes with its own benefits!
Cotton fabric
This shirt is made out of 100% cotton which is the best material for layering! When you wear layers you run the risk of sweating more so it helps to have the lowermost layer be cotton, as it absorbs sweat and its smell very well. In this sense the short sleeve shirt is better than the tank top since your underarms will be in contact with the shirt as opposed to whatever you’re wearing on top.
Comfortable coverage
Cotton is a very comfortable fabric and the mock neck provides good neck coverage without being uncomfortable- I personally find full turtlenecks to be suffocating, especially since you have an extra layer around your neck from the hijab.
Can be worn all-year
You can wear these shirts year round since cotton is a breathable fabric! In the summer they would make a good base layer underneath long sleeve shirts. In the winter they work well underneath thick sweaters, like ones made out of wool, to help prevent any itchiness and maintain comfortable warmth!
I have an example mock neck cotton t-shirt below, which if you decide to get I would suggest sizing down to be able to wear underneath other shirts.
