It's not an exaggeration to say white T-shirts are the most worn item in my closet. They're the foundation of most of my outfits, and I reach for them constantly. Whether I'm styling them with jeans, layering them with skirts and sweaters, or combining them with a statement piece, there's no basic more versatile, reliable, and timeless in my eyes than a classic white cotton T-shirt.
Since I rack up a lot of miles on the white tee-odometer, I'm constantly searching for fresh and fashion-forward ways to style the basic. To combat any signs of white-tee outfit fatigue, I keep a folder of all my favorite white-tee outfits and reference it when I'm feeling particularly uninspired. Below, I'm sharing eight of my favorite effortlessly chic and fashion-forward white-tee outfits. Keep scrolling to see my favorites on celebs, fashion girls, and street-style stars. Then shop for pieces to re-create each look.
Blue jeans and a white tee—it doesn't get any more classic than that. Hailey Beiber leans into the '90s aesthetic by pairing relaxed straight-leg jeans with a fitted baby tee and keeping her accessories elevated. Effortlessly chic and so easy to emulate.
