5 Summer Staples That Would Look Good With This Popular $6 Tee

I would consider a white T-shirt to be one of the backbones of a wardrobe given its highly versatile nature. You too? Thought so. In fact, one of my colleagues recently covered the best-selling white tees. And what’s one silhouette that took the top spot? Yep, none other than this popular $6 Hanes Nano T-Shirt.
You’ll notice that this cheap, must-have basic has over 5500 customer reviews with an average of 4.2 out of 5 stars. And honestly, it makes perfect sense given its classic fit and comfortable fabric. TBH, most of our editors have this tee in their arsenals. If you do as well (or have another T-shirt go-to), I thought some fresh outfit inspiration could be of interest.
On that note, I pulled together some visual inspo highlighting fashion girls in white T-shirts to showcase just a smattering of summer staples that would look especially chic with the piece. And while the ensembles coming your way do feature tees from a variety of brands, all would honestly look so great with that trusty $6 Hanes staple. Keep scrolling for more, including product picks if you’re shopping at the moment.
Shop the Hanes Nano T-Shirt:
Our market editor's take on the tee? "The quality is surprisingly good for $6—there is no trace of your bra showing underneath (hallelujah!), and the arm length and neckline were really nice fitting."
Now, items to pair with the T-shirt:
1. Slip Skirt
Given its versatility, a white T-shirt can basically go with anything—including a pretty silk skirt for an easy yet chic vibe.
2. Slouchy Blazer
Need a particularly polished ensemble? Toss on a lightweight, slouchy blazer and add jeans or trousers for an elevated feel.
3. Oversize Shirt
It's all about the relaxed white shirt this season. Try a layered look by teaming one with a white tee and unbuttoning most of the buttons.
4. Denim Shorts
There's nothing more classic than wearing a white crew-neck tee with denim shorts in the summer. Consider tucking in the T-shirt for a streamlined look.
5. Jeans
Embrace that monochromatic look with an ensemble featuring your tee jeans. If it's chilly, toss on a blazer as well.
