The 23 best white T-shirts for women, including plus-size options, bodysuits, and boxy tees

Everlane is King of Basics as far as direct-to-consumer brands go, so it's not a surprise that the brand has nailed the basic white T-shirt. The Cotton Crew is the standout of its offerings and features a basic crew neck opening with a slim, but not tight, fit. Manufactured in Los Angeles, The Organic Cotton Crew is made of 100% lightweight Supima cotton, available in sizes XXS through XL, and retails for $18. Thanks to Everlane's model of transparency, you can check out a profile of the factory where your T-shirt was made.

Similar in price to Everlane's crew, but a bit more relaxed in fit, the Northside Vintage Tee is one of Madewell's bestsellers. The tee was designed to imitate the appearance of an old worn tee that's been shrunken from hundreds of washes over the years, resulting in the perfect fitted-to-slouchy ratio. And thanks to Madewell's range of sizes from XXS to 3X, you can determine the right fit for you.

The Cotton Citizen Standard Tee is inspired by the overworn tee you've had forever. Despite its relaxed fit and raw edges, the tee offers a bit of structure in the way that it holds its shape all day. With a price tag of $80 and a wide range of both permanent and seasonal colors, the tee falls short when it comes to its limited size range, which runs just XS to L.

Buying white tees in a pack is the secret behind stretching their longevity. Available in sizes from XS to XXL, this bundle from Amazon Essentials offers two tees for the price of one in a comfortable fit and V-shaped neckline. My advice? Choose between a pack of two or four at checkout and rotate them between washes. 

The lowest point on this V-neck white tee rests just above the sternum leaving the perfect amount of room for layering necklaces. Its boxy silhouette and cap sleeves paired with its low-cut neckline creates a boyish, yet feminine style. Its soft jersey texture is just another one of the small details that makes this tee standout from the rest. The sizing ranges from XS to XL.

Made with organic cotton in a fair trade factory, and priced at an affordable $20, Pact's basic crew neck proves that sustainable can be affordable and super comfy too. And because we know the hardest part about having white tees is keeping them clean, the Softspun V-Neck Tee can be bought in packs of three. It's available in 13 different colors, a range of patterns, and sizes XS to XXL.

Available in XXS to XL, The Everlane Pima Micro-Rib Crew Tee fits snug around the arms and stretches around the body for a close, yet non restrictive fit. Tuck this tee into a pair of high waisted mom jeans or pleated trousers to take any look from casual to effortlessly sleek. Available in four additional neutral toned colors from black to pepper green, going back for another shade or two wouldn't be such a bad idea.

SKIMS is the go-to place for clothes that sculpt, compress, and accentuate the natural curves and contours of the body. This T-shirt has a shapewear-like effect that performs like a true baby tee. Available in 14 different colors and sizes that range from XXS to 4X, the tee sells out often but is worth getting on the waitlist for.

I don't always advocate spending more than $20 for basics, but if you're looking to splurge on a white T-shirt that will last nearly forever while looking and feeling great, consider the Mott & Bow Marcy Fitted Crew. It's preshrunk for the perfect fit right from the box and is just the right length for tucking into a pair of jeans or trousers. Because it won't shift sizes in the wash, it's safe to get your true size whether that be XS or XL.

The Good American Cropped Tee is designed with medium heavy cotton to hold its boxy shape from the moment you put it on to the last errand of the day. Even when paired with high waisted pants, there's a sliver of midriff exposed for a polished take on the classic cut-off style. Available in sizes that range from XS to 5XL, this tee is an everyday essential for a range of different body types.

This tee doesn't hold its shape but is just as boxy as our other picks. Instead, the Cotton Citizen Tokyo Crop Tee is made of a jersey material that catches the wind when you're on the go. Unlike its luxury price tag that retails for $90, the tee is made to resemble an old overworn shirt that's been stretched at the neck and has survived multiple washes. Just like the previous pick from the brand, this style is only offered in four sizes from XS to L.

Re/Done tees came up time and time again in my research, but one of the drawbacks is that they are very expensive. The second drawback, like our previous cropped pick, is the tee is only available in the same four sizes. Compared to our other cropped picks, the high low hem on this tee is a bit more modest. While the front exposes the belt loops on your jeans, the front brushes up against the tops of your back pockets. 

This Rag & Bone tee is the transitional essential that features a sleeve short enough for warmer days and long enough for cooler nights. While our other picks feature short sleeves that range in fit, these sleeves fit snug from the shoulder seams to the tops of your elbows.   Grab this tee in any size between XXS and XL if you're looking for a basic you can wear from season to season.

The Vince Wide Sleeve Tee is a crew neck tee that lays loosely everywhere else. From the sleeves to the hem, the lightweight jersey doesn't cling or mold to the body. Layer this tee with a chunky knit cardigan or an oversized aviator jacket to put together a look that seems effortless casual. With several sizes that range from XXS to XXXL, you can play around with slouch level by ordering a size or two up or down.

A bit pricey, but with good reason, the Michael Costello tee makes for a great night out top. Dress it with jeans and heels for brunch or with a maxi skirt and statement jewelry for dinner. The ruching on each side crops the top slightly while accentuating your frame for a feminine take on a classic white tee. While its varying proportions from the padded shoulders to the side ruching can affect overall fit, customers report that the top (which ranges from XXS to XL) still fits true to size.

As the name suggests, this tee looks like it's fresh off the rack in the men's department. The drop sleeves, wide silhouette and lengthened torso give off big masculine energy, but it's all about how you wear it. Let it drape loosely over your favorite shade of biker shorts with your go-to sneaker for a comfy yet youthful look. Because Askk NY converts their sizing to numbers, take a look at the sizing chart to determine which size from 0 to 4 will fit best.  

Available in sizes from 00 to 40, Universal Standard boasts the biggest size range of any brand on this list. The Tee Rex made it to this list because it checks all the boxes: a slightly oversized fit, soft fabric, simple silhouette, and comfortable construction. I tried this tee and loved the feel of this fabric and the shape of the shirt — the curved hem is perfect for tucking into jeans. Ultimately, I probably would have sized up so the sleeves were a little looser, but that's all a matter of preference.

Aritzia is the place to go for closet staples that you can build the rest of your wardrobe around. Its version of the white tee is a slightly oversized top with parachute sleeves so boxy, they nearly flare outward. Made from heavyweight Peruvian Pima cotton, this tee is soft to the touch and maintains its shape stiff free. It's available in sizes XXS to XXL.

Slightly off white but still an essential basic, this Uniqlo Cotton Dolman is for anyone who might be concerned about how long they can keep their tees bright. Although sizing runs from XXS to XXL, check your recommended size to ensure the ¾ sleeves and shirttail hem fall on the body at the best spot possible.

Made with sustainable Sweatee Waffle fabric, this Outdoor Voices tee is great for cooler months under a padded vest or flannel shacket. On your next hiking or fishing trip, consider reaching for this tee that features sweat-wicking material and a classic look. Although this pick is available in sizes that range from XS to XL, customers report that it runs a little small. Size up for a comfortable fit.

The cool part about this bodysuit is that it resembles a worn white tee that's been tucked into your go-to pair of denim. Little does everyone else know, you don't have to worry about readjusting throughout the day or vigorous tucking after bathroom breaks. This bodysuit snaps closed to ensure that your tee stays tucked in all day. Like a few of our other pricey picks, this tee is limited to sizes XS to Large.

Known for clothing that contours the body, Good American's bodysuit is made of a double knit scuba fabric that stretches and enhances a woman's silhouette. Available in sizes XXS to 5XL, this bodysuit molds around curves for a compressive yet comfortable fit. Take a break from the casual comfy tee and go for a crew neck that supports and smooths. Good for layering, this bodysuit is a sleek base layer that can be worn alone or underneath a chunky knit. 

When it comes to bodysuits, the half we don't see can really be a make or break moment before buying one. Luckily, The Short-Sleeve Crew Neck Bodysuit has thong and bikini bottom options that allow you to decide which cut is best for you. And although some torsos are longer than others, Everlane's bodysuits are designed to give overtime. Sizing runs from XXS to XL and is said to fit true to size.
