15 of the Best White T-Shirts for Women, Vetted by Editors, Starting at $9 by Abby Hepworth
The white T-shirt might just be the hardest wardrobe essential to get 100 percent right. True, there isn’t all that much to the “boring” basic, but that’s why the tiniest details can suddenly become huge pain points—for instance if it’s not machine-washable, durable and easy to dress up and down, then I for one don’t have the patience for such a fiddly version of a wardrobe staple that’s supposed to be supremely versatile. That’s why, to determine the absolute best of the best white T-shirts for women, I went straight to the source and asked PureWow staffers, friends and family who will gladly wax poetic about their beloved tees. (Many even admit to buying multiples at one time.) Here, 15 plain white T-shirts for women that have earned the PureWow stamp of approval.
How I Chose the Best White T-Shirts
As noted above, I started right at the source: women who wear white T-shirts on a regular basis. I talked to PureWow staffers of all different ages and body types, as well as friends and family, to narrow down my search to only the best options. Then, I read through hundreds of reviews from shoppers like you, as well as fashion influencers, noting the pros and cons of each style to confirm our hand-picked styles truly live up to the hype. The result? A list of 15 plain white T-shirts I feel confident will fit right in with your existing wardrobe, and may even become your new favorite basic.
MOST SPLURGE-WORTHY WHITE T-SHIRT
7. Kule The Modern Tee
WHAT WE LIKE
- made from durable Portuguese cotton
- opaque material
WHAT WE DON’T LIKE
- high price point
- thicker material may be too heavy for hot weather
For those on the hunt for a durable, slightly heavier cotton tee, Kule is definitely your best bet. They don’t come cheap, but the opaque material is wonderfully soft, sturdy and won’t stretch out or shrink even after multiple wears and washes. I originally fell in love with Kule’s striped tees, but now I just want them in every color, solid or patterned. They hang really nicely and feel really sturdy, like they’ll last for a long time. And they’re great for tucking into high-waist jeans. I will say, they run a little small—I’m usually between a medium and a large in tops and find the large is a much better fit across the board at Kule. At $75 a pop, this boxy tee is one of the most expensive on this list, but if you do happen to fall in love with the style, you can score 20 percent off by adding two or more, of any color, to your cart.
