The 6 Women’s White T-Shirts That Are More Than Your Average Tee

A STEP UP

I’ve found there are a few that rise above the rest, in quality and in cut, because not all t-shirts are created equal.

When it comes to upgrading your basics, you should consider just how often you wear them. Me? I have an entire section of my T-shirt drawer dedicated to white tees. I take finding the perfect white T-shirt very seriously. I’ve found there are a few that rise above the rest, in quality and in cut, because not all T-shirts are created equal. Upgrade your basic white T-shirt to one of these.

Hanes Sport Women's Cool DRI Performance V-Neck Tee

Lightweight and breathable, this performance tee will be your new go-to. It has a tag-free design (so no neck irritation) and it has UPF 50+ protection built-in.

Buy at Amazon$7

Boxy Semi-Crop

The Boxy Semi-Crop tee is the perfect length for a t-shirt. I can easily tie it to wear with high-waisted jeans or a skirt, but it also can be half-tucked for a more put-together look. It’s sturdy but not stiff and has a soft, silky feel thanks to the 50/50 blend of Pima cotton and Modal.

Buy at Mott & Bow$30

Splendid Women's Scoop Neck Short Sleeve T-Shirt

If you want super soft material before it even hits the laundry, this is the shirt for you. The blend of rayon and Lycra spandex has a touch of stretch for all-day comfort. It’s machine-washable and has a slightly oversized fit that can be worn tucked in or even tied at the waist. Splendid is also a popular brand that’s sold a Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, and more.

Linen V-neck Pocket T-shirt

This is the T-shirt I bought over and over again throughout college and still have in my drawer today. The linen fabric is breathable and lightweight, but not too sheer. The V-neck is a great length that shows enough skin to feel modern but won’t leave you feeling too exposed.

Buy at J.Crew$40

Opna Women's Short Sleeve Moisture Wicking Athletic Shirt

Not only is this T-shirt extremely affordable, it’s pre-shrunk, moisture-wicking and slim fit. The V-neck is flattering on just about everyone.

Buy at Amazon$9

Amazon Essentials Women's Tech Stretch Short-Sleeve T-Shirt

Made from a moisture-wicking tech fabric, this is a T-shirt that can go from work to workout with ease. The simple V-neck is flattering and easy-to-wear. If you love it, you can even get this two-pack in a plethora of other colors like blues and pinks.

Women’s Scoop V Tee

Normally, I hate a scoop neck but the Scoop Tee from Richer Poorer has a modified scoop that’s more like a curved V-neck. The longer sleeve length means you can roll them if you want (I usually do) or keep them unrolled for a more elevated look. Made from 100% organic cotton and washed in a silicone wash to break it in, this should be your go-to tee.

Buy at Richer Poorer$34

Just My Size Women's Plus-Size Short-Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirt

This plus-size option is made from 100% cotton and features a subtle V-neck and a tagless neck label for extra comfort. It has a contoured, shirt-tail hem to flatter any shape. This best-selling cotton tee will be your everyday go-to.

Women's Second Skin Crew Neck Tee

The Second Skin line from Tommy John is made from unshrinkable, wrinkle-resistant Pima Cotton/Modal/Spandex blend. It had enough stretch to feel comfortable but will never get stretched out of shape.

Buy at Tommy John$55
