Her rules for the perfect white T-shirt? It has to be oversize, crisp, and menswear-inspired. A boxy, crisp cut makes a plain white T-shirt less casual and adds structure to any outfit.

Take a cue from Beckham and pair a white T-shirt with a blazer and colorful heels for a day to night look. Or wear with dark-wash jeans and oversize sunnies for a relaxed yet chic look.
