Babba Canales

The T-Shirt: Ribbed Tee from Cos

Why She Loves It: "The texture and fabric reads luxury. With this particular white tee, I can pair it with a trouser and sneaker for work. No blazer needed, this strong tee stands alone. I would also pair this with a flared denim and my favorite sling back heels. Lastly, we can't forget the white tee and biker short combo."

Christie Tyler

The T-Shirt: Cotton T-Shirt from Mango

Why She Loves It: “I love how soft and comfortable, yet chic it is. It's not too boxy nor too flimsy. It has such a great shape and fits just right. It's also sustainable, so even more of an added plus! I love an all-white look of a white tee, white denim, and strappy heeled sandals. Add a straw hat and you're ready to go.”

Kellie Brown

The T-Shirt: Scoop Neck Tee from Who What Wear

Why She Loves It: "I love that the cut of this tee is a little boxy, but not crazy oversized. The blend makes it look and feel much more expensive than it is, and it looks great dressed up. I love white tees with less casual pieces like a silk or satin skirt. That way I can pair it with a cute sandal or a sneaker and the vibe is relaxed but with a little effort."

Courtney Madison

The T-Shirt: Crew Neck from Kotn

Why She Loves It: “Kotn makes its T-shirts from Egyptian cotton. As a company they have not only figured out how to make the best white T-shirt, open two schools and support an entire community of farmers, weavers and craftspeople, but all at a price point that’s hard to beat. This summer I'm going to pair my white T-shirt with the Nikko Pant from Mara Hoffman, [sandals] from Loeffler Randall, and a new straw bag from Aiye."

Bianca Valle

The T-Shirt: Muscle Tee from Entireworld

Why She Loves It: “I would say Entireworld has my favorite white T-shirts. There’s one tank they have that’s a muscle tee, and the cut is so cool because it’s basically like a white tee with little sleeves. It’s different than the classic tank top, it’s very boxy. This summer, I really want to do the long jean short look. I’ve been doing it for a few summers, as my style is a little more masculine. I would pair the tee with some long cut off denim shorts and some black high top converse.”

Chrissy Rutherford

The T-Shirt: Hanes 1960s T-Shirt from RE/DONE

Why She Loves It: “I recently discovered the RE/DONE Hanes T-shirts and they’re my absolute favorite. The fit is perfect, not too boxy, not too slim. The material is also soft but doesn’t really lose its shape. A white T-shirt and denim is always my favorite look. It’s effortless!”

Tiffany Hsu

The T-Shirt: Wesler T-Shirt from The Row

Why She Loves It: "The Row’s Wesler T-shirt is the perfect white tee. It has a high crew neck with a mid-length short sleeve. It’s just the right amount of oversized, while still having a classic fit. I love it worn tucked into vintage jeans or high-waisted leather pants. For the summer, it's easily teamed with shorts and mini skirts, such as Jacquemus' high waisted pink shorts and worn under the oversized fuchsia blazer, which was a runway hit. I'll also be throwing it on over a swimsuit and a pair of Acne Studios high waisted linen pants for a beach to brunch look.”

Katie Sturino

The T-Shirt: T-Shirts from Monogram

Why She Loves It: “I don’t have a favorite white tee, but I love my Monogram tees because the fit and feel are like nothing else in the world. I prefer them to a plain white tee because they add a bit of edge to any look.”

Ellie Nesom

The T-Shirt: Petite Ultimate Crew Neck T-Shirt from ASOS

Why She Loves It: “I love a white T-shirt that's not too fitted and something I can move around in like a crew neck. Because it goes with everything, you can dress it up or down, throw a jacket over it, and get as creative as you like. It's never boring. I would also style it with high waisted denim shorts and barely there sandals.”
