I’ve written about the 20 best-selling items on Who What Wear—which were comprised of a stylish variety of products from $3 Amazon pearl hair clips to a $66 five star nude bra and $215 ultra-soft skinny jeans. But there was one product that made an appearance three times and sold the most units compared to any other item. You may be surprised to hear it’s one of the simplest items we all own in our closet: the basic white tee.
According to our data team, these three T-shirts below have been consistent best sellers with our readers throughout the entire year. They range from a $5 to $78 and all possess a similar silhouette—short sleeves, a crew neck, and a slightly loose fit through the body.
But we all know, not all white tees are created equal, and as someone who essentially lives in jeans and white tees seven days a week, I was eager to test-drive them for myself. If you’re on the hunt for a perfect white tee, scroll below to see my thoughts on the best sellers—listed in order of my favorites—and shop more of the best white tees on the market right now.
This $5 basic from Amazon came in first place for me, in terms of style, silhouette, and comfort. I was hesitant when I ordered it—for the low cost, I thought it was going to be sheer and uncomfortable. But in fact, it was quite the opposite. The quality is surprisingly good for $5—there is no trace of your bra showing underneath (hallelujah!), and the arm length and neckline were really nice fitting. There is a reason that this has remained a best seller on Who What Wear for the past year. Hands down, this is the best $5 you’ll spend!
