5 Really Good White Tees And Why They Make The Cut

If you’re after an elevated basic… Rag & Bone’s Slub Tee is our pick. It has the kind of slim fit that’s easy to tuck into a pair of high-waisted jeans or layer under a loose dress, but won’t cling to your body. The price is more than your average cotton tee, but if you calculate the cost-per-wear we think it’s justified, plus it’s more incentive to take proper care of it and make it last as long as possible.

If relaxed is more your style… look no further than The Crew Tee by Assembly Label; it’s the original, fuss-free, no-frills, straight fit and the exact definition of a classic, white cotton tee. If you want to add some shape to it, a messy tuck is best, or try pulling the hem tight around your waist and tying the excess into a big knot.

If you want plain, but not too plain… Jac + Jack’s Columbia Tee is made using linen and has a subtle texture which makes it slightly sheer, in a good way. To give your plain white tee look a little pizazz, try wearing it with a black lace bralette underneath.

If a fancy base layer is what you’re after… Marle’s Louis Tee is a luxury option worth treating yourself too. It’s more of an ivory white and it’ll mould to your shape like a warm embrace, just what we’re craving right now.

And if you’ve already got all of the above and want something EXTRA… Joseph’s Baila Top will take your plain tee collection to the next level. Much more than your average tee, it has a related silhouette similar to a crew tee, but it’s made from a non-stretch fabric that feels lush against the skin, and features split sleeves that are sort of like superhero capes for your arms.
