It's not every day I stumble upon paparazzi shots featuring two of my favourite celebrity style icons in the same frame. However, today was an exception. I was delighted to see a photo of Jennifer Lawrence and Dakota Johnson showcasing their chic styles together. Even though their outfits were noticeably different, they embraced a staple fashion insiders swear by: a timeless white crew-neck T-shirt.
Whilst strolling around L.A., Johnson wore a white T-shirt with a black V-neck sweater, midi-length coat, baggy jeans and designer loafers. On the flip side, Lawrence had a more relaxed vibe. Her outfit centred around her white tee with a cosy blue zip-up sweatshirt and black sweatpants. To top off her look, she added a boho-inspired necklace, baseball cap and Puma Speedcat trainers, embodying a sporty flair.
On Dakota Johnson: The Row Kelly Sunglasses (£480); Saint Laurent Le Loafers (£685)
On Jennifer Lawrence: Tiffany & Co. x Elsa Peretti Sevillana Pendant (£435); Phoebe Philo Gig Bag (£2600); Puma Speedcat OG Sneakers (£90)
Despite their contrasting outfits, both actors exemplified the incredible versatility of a white T-shirt. The simple yet essential wardrobe item can look chic and expensive peeking through a chunky knit or worn independently with a lightweight jacket. Either way, it adds the perfect layer of warmth as the weather shifts. What's particularly appealing is that investing in a quality white T-shirt doesn't have to break the bank. You can choose a classic £40 version designed for longevity or stock up on multiple affordable options under £10 that deliver the same look and similarly luxurious feel.
With all that in mind, keep scrolling to shop for the best white T-shirts for women.
