A white T-shirt is an inimitable classic that ranks right up there with a tailored suit jacket and a pair of iconic sneakers. In other words, you can always rely on it. Whether you’re dressing up or taking a more relaxed approach to style, you can expect your white tee to provide the perfect solution when you stumble across the old “what to wear” conundrum. It can strike at any time, and it can make for some serious drama of the sartorial variety if you slip too far down the rabbit hole. The trick is simply not to think about it too much. With the right white tees in your closet, you’ll never have to — because the answer will always be right in front of you. Here are a handful of the best white t-shirts for men.

Buck Mason Field-Spec Cotton Heavy Tee

If you tend to spend a considerable amount of the day in your white tee — or have big plans to do exactly that — then you need to get your hands on the Buck Mason Field-Spec Cotton Heavy Tee. There are few words to describe the durability of the robust fabric. It offers the same supple feel of jersey cotton, yet feels a bit more substantial. You’ll see and feel the difference at first touch.

It’s exactly what it professes to be: a coolly casual shirt that’s been around since the mid-aughts and that definitely looks like something you may have worn while trudging across campus.

Vibe just right in the Alex Crane Sun Tee, a cool-as-anything top that’s as breezy as the beach.
