The Best Plain White T-Shirt
Are you looking to build a capsule wardrobe? Or trying to nail that effortless yet perfectly put together look, aka the French Girl vibe? A quality plain white T-shirt is your new bestie.
If your closet were Ina Garten’s kitchen (…that makes sense, right?) it’s your good vanilla. The good news is that unlike the top-shelf Madagascar Bourbon (just a little vanilla extract humor for you), you won’t need to contemplate sacrificing your iced coffee to fit it in the budget. And with more and more of us being called back to the office full time… le sigh… a Plain White Tee can be an essential part of office friendly outfits.
I’ve put together a list below of the very best plain white t-shirts at a variety of price points that will make putting together your next outfit a breeze.

Crewneck - Overall Pick
There’s a reason this almost-too-cool brand’s shirts are on everyone’s list. Just boxy enough to look effortlessly chic, but not so oversized that you start to look like a bag lady (been there).
Crewneck - Budget pick
Looking for a budget pick? Don’t sleep on Hanes men's crewneck shirts. I may or may not stolen a couple of these from my Husband to layer under a sweater, and they’re perfect for just that! Just thick enough to not show your bra, thin enough to be surprising soft and supple. If you want a classic white shirt collar to peek out from under a chunky knit, this is your gal. Best of all, at $20 for FOUR OF THESE, the price can’t be beat!
Crewneck bodysuit
This white bodysuit is soft, comfortable, and surprisingly flattering. Perfect for a slightly more polished look. The quality is similar to what you’d find in a higher end piece, with a lower price tag.
V Neck
I’m not sure what my favorite part of this shirt is, the price tag or the flattering shape. In my search for the perfect v neck shirt, this outperformed many of its’ fancier, more expensive counterparts. I don’t have any other v-neck shirts on this list. It’s this one.
