The 16 Best White T-Shirts for Every Man (and Any Budget)
Take your pick from buy-'em-in-bulk pocket tees, investment-level crewnecks, and much more.
The T-shirt isn't just a bona fide menswear icon, it's an avatar of American cool that's managed to catapult beyond its humble beginnings. Show me one person you know without at least one T-shirt in their rotation, and I will show you someone who is lying to you, my guy. And when it comes to tees, there is no version more elemental, more perfectly distilled, than the plain white T-shirt.
All of which is to say, if you're one of those people who considers himself somehow above or beyond the white tee, you might want to reconsider. Simply consider the utility of the white T-shirt in your wardrobe and realize, yeah, it might be good to have one—or a few!—of those in rotation. After all, the options when it comes to this particular garment at this particular point in time are pretty much endless. There's pocket tees and curved-hem tees and boxy tees and organic cotton tees and good-old-fashioned crewnecks at your disposal, so you really should be able to find something that strikes your fancy.
In fact, there's so much going on in the white-T-shirt world right now that the biggest hurdle might not be deciding that you want one but deciding which one you want. That's where the list below comes into play. Whatever you're looking to buy, though, start here, with the 16 best white T-shirts.
