When the temperatures climb, few pieces get as much wear as a classic white T-shirt. It’s the top you’ll reach for with denim shorts on sunny afternoons, tuck into breezy linen trousers for patio lunches or throw over a swimsuit after a day at the beach–a great white tee serves as the perfect starting point for countless summer outfits. Ahead, eight of the best white T-shirts to shop this season from Aritzia, Lululemon, Quince and beyond.

A classic tee you’ll wear on repeat, this refined crewneck is crafted from 100 per cent cotton with a double-knit construction that feels soft while maintaining its shape. The hip-grazing hem and structured fit make it just as chic tucked into tailored trousers as it is paired with your favourite jeans. For the minimalist mover, this wardrobe staple is made from 100 per cent cotton with a timeless silhouette that only gets softer with every wash.

At under $20, it’s the kind of everyday basic you’ll want to stock up on. Love the look of a perfectly worn-in tee? Gap’s VintageSoft V-neck delivers that lived-in feel from the very first wear.
