The Perfect White Tee


What to wear right now

Hands down, a great white t-shirt is a necessary staple in everyone’s wardrobe. However, the search for the perfect one is an ongoing journey. Since a white t-shirt is a basis for many looks - jeans, tennis shoes, cropped jacket for Saturday afternoons, or tucked in a full midi skirt with a jean jacket for movie night, a stock of great t-shirts is needed. Here is where my search has taken me.

Near Perfection!

Frank & Eileen Heritage Jersey is a favorite with a little heft to the fabric and a flattering shape.

Good white t-shirts need to be replaced

Like it or not, our favorite white t-shirts do not have long lives. With constant wear, a lot of washings, and heavy-duty work, we need to replace them every year or two. A real favorite may transfer to the “only wear around the house” drawer, but to keep this classic wardrobe staple fresh, we need to keep adding to our stock.
