Here it is! A shortlist of The GREAT WHITE TEES that offer fantastic coverage and fit at a reasonable price. White tees, in my opinion, should be replaced every season because no amount of bleach is going to erase underarm stains. Besides, nothing feels fresher or looks crisper than a new white anything.
I tried six different brands, mainly crew neck, because in the cooler months, I want warmth! I narrowed down the list to three: Two Crew and One Vee. The two crew are very similar, but the quality is a little better with Michael Stars. Can’t lose with either.
You can shop any of the tees by clicking on the small pic. I do receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Michael Stars Crew Neck: My favorite for style, slightly angled shirt sleeve that creates a slimming look. The fabric is a little thicker and stretchier. Available in several styles: v-neck, short, long or sleeveless. or long sleeve. I have all three crew neck styles if that is saying anything. $58 for short sleeve. ($58) One Size.

Three Dot Crew Neck: Best All-Around for style and price. The fabric is slightly smoother in texture and will layer nicely under blazers. ($42) Click below to shop the tee.
Madewell Crew Neck: This made the cut for fit and price. The whisper fabric makes it ideal for warmer months but is significantly more casual–especially the ribbed collar. ($19.50) Size down. I ordered small. Click below to shop the tee.
Madewell V-Neck: Best All-Around. This is my g0-to v-neck tee, especially in summer. I like the loose fit and cool vibe. The whisper-cotton fabric is lightweight but not too sheer. For the price, I can easily refresh anytime. ($19.50) Runs TTS (true to size.) Click below to shop the tee.
Banana Republic for Honorable Mention. The reviews are great and one came from a friend. The fabric is silky and dressy enough for the office or a more formal affair. The fit didn’t work for me. I think it is best suited for narrow shoulders. ($45) Size up. Click below to shop the tee.
Holy Chic Graphic Tee. I love this tee. I ordered it from Etsy and wish I sized up, but it’s shipping from faaaaar away and returns are tricky. ($25) For reference, I’m wearing a medium in the photo. Click below to shop the tee.
