As my life has evolved to include fewer social outings and more momming over the past year, I find myself reaching for an easy white tee most days. And for good reason.
It’s perfect for lounging in bed or throwing over your favorite yoga set, and yet just as good tucked into your favorite jeans if you need to run to the store or meet up for a coffee date.
You’d think it would be a foolproof purchase, but I’ve bought my fair share of tees over the years that just didn’t quite nail it. They always end up getting a wear or two, then getting skipped over for my favorite fit. For me, the perfect white t-shirt is boyish yet body skimming, slouchy not messy, not too tight or too boatneck, and somehow just effortlessly flattering.
From body hugging baby tees to comfy oversized ones, we separated the good from the great and found the white tees you’ll find yourself reaching for on the daily. Scroll on for our eight favorite tees, including a splurge and save (under $50!) in each category!
