Back To Basics: The White Tee

Summer came to quite a cruel end in YEG, with lots of rain/snow taking over the forecast. Besides the fact that we might have skipped Fall entirely, at the moment, it does let me reflect on good basics that always need to be in my closet.

The first item on the docket is the classic white t-shirt. A necessary staple in any wardrobe; it provides clean lines, comfortable wear, and an effortless, low-maintenance look.

Throw it under a leather jacket, pair it with a satin skirt, round it out with a pair of heels. You can’t go wrong!

There are a two things to look for when on the hunt for that essential white tee…

1. CUT

It is so important that it fit right! Does the shoulder hem sit on YOUR shoulder? Does the neckline look flattering? Are you more comfortable with a loose boyfriend cut or do prefer it fitted? All things to ask yourself when looking for your perfect white tee.

2. MATERIAL

There is nothing more disappointing that buying a white tee and realizing it ruins in one wash or doesn’t hold its shape anymore. Ultimately, I look for a cotton blend that doesn’t wrinkle too easy! I want my white tee to be low maintenance in the fashion AND washing department.

Here are a few white tees to update the ol’ Basics!
