Here’s Where To Find The Perfect White T-Shirt

Desperate to discover the ultimate white t-shirt? Here, The Handbook team reveals their go-to brands for the best white t-shirts they wear on repeat.
It may seem like a throwaway piece in your wardrobe but do not underestimate the power of a plain white tee. The key is to find a good quality one; a t-shirt that doesn’t take on an ugly shade of grey after the second wear. It doesn’t have to break the bank, but fabric definitely counts. I’m all for pure cotton and the perfect fit. I count Topshop, Arket and & Other Stories as my top t-shirt providers. Then, once you find ‘the one’, care is paramount.
After consistently returning to her faithful H&M tees, our Managing Director, Robyn, called for advice on finding and maintaining the ‘health’ of her dying tops. Firstly, it’s worth spending a little more for that premium finish. Secondly, wash with only whites. Aside from many other (more important) life rules, this is one I live by. Clean up those stains pronto and I swear by adding Dr. Beckman to my washes. Also, it is good to note that steaming is another brilliant way to refresh your tee.
Find the tee that’s so good you can wear it not just under suits, blazers, sweaters and jackets, but show it off on its own. Frame with chain necklaces and pop on your red lippie – effortless styling at its best.
I love the simplicity of white T-shirts; they make getting dressed that little easier. If you want to wear the latest leopard print or lace skirt, simply add that tee. Love a suit, but not sure what to wear under? You’ve guessed it. A white tee will do the job. Oh, and the jacket of the season works like magic with one, too. Essentially, this item is one of life’s little wonders, so add to your capsule wardrobe now.
