Finding the perfect white T-shirt can often feel like you’re on the hunt for a mythical creature. Some don’t fit quite right, and others are see through. Some feel like cardboard against your skin, and others wrinkle immediately. Just like the Loch Ness Monster, I’ve often found myself wondering if the perfect white tee even exists at all.

In my book, in order for a white T-shirt to earn “perfect” status, there are three essential boxes that it needs to tick. It should be made from comfortable fabric that’s breathable but not sheer, weighty but not hard, and be fitted but not too tight. It should be able to move with your body so that it stays in place. And—perhaps the most of all—it should have a good collar.

Add all of this together, and it’s a tall order, but we scoured the internet to find the 10 best white T-shirts that check all of the most important boxes. Scroll to see which you’ll want to add to your collection immediately.

1. Everlane Air Oversized Crew Tee, $28

If you’re of the belief that bigger is better, then this tee is the answer to your prayers. Its oversized feel is perfect for tucking, knotting, or wearing over a pair of leggings, and its longer sleeves give it a total, “I just stole this from my boyfriend’s (or brother’s) closet” feel.

4. Free People Perfect Tee, $38

Every capsule wardrobe needs a classic crop, and this one fits the bill. The cuffed, short sleeves and raw hem give the shirt a comfy, lived-in look, while the tapered silhouette makes it feel far less boxy than your dad’s shirt that you tried to crop (read: chop) yourself when you were 15.

5. Hanes Nano T-Shirt, $7

With over 15,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, there is no arguing that Hanes knows how to make white T-shirts. The comments tout the tee’s breathability, ability to hide sweat stains, durability after many washes, and all-around comfort. It’s also hard not to love a shirt that costs the same amount as an oat matcha latte, which is why this pick has solidified its spot on lists of best white T-shirts for years.
