My Favorite White T-Shirts and Tanks

A white t-shirt is one of the most classic wardrobe staples there is. It’s a closet essential that can be styled a multitude of ways, can be worn year-round, and comes in a variety of styles. What’s not to love?! A good white tee is like a good pair of jeans — when you find the perfect one, you buy it (or two or three).

White tanks and tees are another staple that I always have in rotation. Both are basics, but you’d be surprised by the range of shapes, silhouettes, and styles out there. There’s a little something for everyone.

Since you guys are always asking about these pieces when I’m wearing them, I thought it would be fun to round up some of my favorites. Consider this your go-to guide of the best white t-shirts for women — whether you like a classic v-neck or a ribbed, sleeveless option.

Best White T-Shirts for Women

Madewell Whisper Cotton Rib Crewneck Tee

I wear this white t-shirt all. the. time. For under $20 it’s such a great addition to your closet — so soft and comes in several colors.

Madewell Cotton Oversized Pocket Tee

This oversized cotton v-neck tee is a best-seller for a reason — it has a classic cut and good shape that holds up well over time. I love that it’s a bit longer than most t-shirts (it hits at your hip!)

Everlane Cotton Box Cut Tee

If you’re looking for that cool-girl vibe, a box cut tee might be for you. This one looks great with the front slightly tucked into high waisted pants. You can also order it with or without a pocket.

Nina Seamless V Neck Tank

You might recognize this tank top because I wear it so often! A quality v-neck tank is a closet staple and this one has such a flattering neckline.

Nordstrom Everyday V-Neck Tee

The name says it all. This is the perfect tee for everyday wear! It’s similar to the v-neck above, but sans pocket for a slightly sleeker look. It does run slightly small, so size up if you want a roomier fit.

Commando Scoop Neck Tank Bodysuit

A bodysuit tank is the perfect item to have on hand for seamlessly tucking your tank into skirts, shorts, and jeans. No fuss!

Free People U-Neck Tank

This is another tank that I love and wear all the time. The thicker straps give it a bit more personality than a standard top and it has the perfect silhouette that’s not see through.

Madewell Whisper Cotton Tank

This has the same lived-in feel as its t-shirt counterpart, but in a v-neck tank. It’s ideal if you’re looking for a more relaxed fit.

J.Crew High-Neck Ribbed Tank

If you’re looking for something slightly different than your usual basic tank, this one might be for you. The high neck line, ribbed fabric, and slightly shrunken fit will add a bit of variety to your wardrobe.

Everlane Oversized Crew Tee

An oversized white tee is always a good go-to and this one has insanely positive reviews. It pairs well with everything from crisp denim to cozy leggings.

Universal Thread V-Neck T-Shirt

Another closet staple, this breathable v-neck t-shirt is one of the easiest throw-on pieces. Even better: You can pick it up on your next Target run (who doesn’t love that?!)

Cropped Short Sleeve T-Shirt

I love the cropped hemline on this t-shirt and think the pre-washed fit makes it super cute and trendy (and ensures it doesn’t shrink in the wash.) Pair it with your favorite gold necklace to accessorize the simple crew neckline.
