There are a number of reasons why we swear by white T-shirts. The simple staple not only offers a seamless transition from season to season with the help of a polished blazer or a chunky sweater, but it also lends a casual, off-duty vibe to any ensemble. Still, not any plain tee will do, so we’ve rounded up the best of the best for you. Looking for a crew neck or, perhaps, the best bang for your buck? Ahead, a few of our favorites.

No one does luxe basics like The Row (we’re currently drooling over the brand's cozy cashmere sweaters), so it’s not a surprise that the Olsens's take on the white T-shirt doesn’t skimp on details, like a silk-trimmed back seam.

At $8 a pop, you can’t beat the Hanes classic. The cotton, polyester, and rayon-blend features a heart-shaped V-neck neckline and a left pocket. But don’t worry about those irritating construction tags; this style is tag-free. Buy in bulk.

With its ultra-fitted silhouette, slim torso, and long hem, there is nothing like Vince’s Little Boy Tee. It’s the perfect layering piece under slim blazers and paper-thin sweaters.

Borrowing from the boys is nothing new, but sometimes you want your own perfectly proportioned oversize tee—is that too much to ask? Well not according to the Rag & Bone designers, who have crafted their own baggy boyfriend T-shirt from 100% cotton.

This American Apparel tee is the perfect weight, so it easily works as a standalone top (nope, it doesn’t look like an undershirt) and won’t get destroyed in the wash.
