No matter your personal style or wardrobe, a plain white t-shirt is a staple piece everyone needs.
To me, the white t-shirt embodies simplicity and versatility, yet it holds an unmatched power. It's the foundation of any outfit - ideal with jeans for summer or as a layering piece under a jacket or blazer in colder weather. After testing numerous white t-shirts from a wide range of brands, both mainstream and niche, I've narrowed down my top picks. While the fits may differ, they all share a crucial factor: exceptional cotton quality, the key to their durability.
Asket
Asket tops my list, and for good reason. Ever since I discovered this Swedish brand in 2016, their t-shirts have been a constant in my wardrobe.
Asket offers two fabric weights for their white tees: a heavier 180gsm and a lighter 120gsm, both crafted from Egyptian cotton.
ISTO.
Like Asket, ISTO. prioritizes craftsmanship over trends. While their product range isn’t vast, each piece is made with meticulous care.
ISTO. uses organic cotton sourced and produced in Portugal, a country renowned for its top-notch garment manufacturing.
Everlane
Everlane’s commitment to quality is reflected in their range of white t-shirts, which showcase a dedication to durable, well-made clothing.
With options varying in material and cotton weight, Everlane offers fits from classic to relaxed, ensuring there's something for everyone.
A Day’s March
Swedish brands dominate the minimalist fashion scene, and A Day’s March is no exception.
Although they started with overshirts, their organic cotton jersey t-shirts are also a must-have for anyone seeking high-quality basics.
Sunspel
Sunspel is all about luxury, and their white t-shirts live up to their prestigious reputation.
With over 160 years of craftsmanship, Sunspel is widely regarded for their top-tier cotton, fit, and construction.
COS
If standard fits feel too basic, COS offers more contemporary oversized designs inspired by Nordic fashion.
Though known for trendy cuts, COS also excels in creating simple, timeless white t-shirts.
Mr. P
Mr. P, the in-house brand of Mr Porter, designs white t-shirts with a tailored fit, perfect for lounging or layering.
Their tees are made from high-quality cotton, with some premium versions even blended with silk for a luxurious touch.
Arket
A sister brand to COS under the H&M umbrella, Arket focuses on sustainability and transparency in fashion, offering detailed information on their fabrics.
Their white t-shirts come in three thickness options: heavyweight, midweight, and lightweight, catering to different preferences.
