Reviews from other shoppers also informed the list, as did a few of my own T-shirt test drives.


I consulted style experts from fellow editors and stylists to the designers behind some of the best T-shirts to find the versions worth shopping at every style and price point. The search for those perfect white T-shirts to wear with jeans, workout sets, and suit sets finally ends here. But with an infinite number of brands claiming to make the only white T-shirt anyone will ever need, I’ve found that shopping for this seemingly straightforward piece can raise questions evocative of a personal style crisis: Is my look more “classic crewneck” than “fitted baby tee”? Am I actually better suited to oversize white T-shirts? What if my heart (and my closet) want space for all three? It’s a truly universal basic that can go from a designer’s runway finale bow to a casual bodega run and looks absolutely effortless in every setting. Every fashion expert I’ve met as an editor has a favorite white T-shirt.
