A Great White Shirt Is A Must Have
Gurls, you should know by now how I feel about having great wardrobe basics. There are just certain items that should be in your closet. I’ve said it before, but a great white shirt is a must-have. I’ve blogged many times about this classic, and you can see some of those below.

I’ve got long-sleeved, short-sleeved, and some with almost no sleeves. You are sure to find something!
A Great White Shirt Is A Must Have – Long Sleeve
I’ve mentioned before that I always try to replace my white T-shirts and button-down shirts yearly. If you aren’t very careful, they can get stains or yellow, and I hate it when that happens.
I love the fit and feel of this Classic White Shirt. It is over 60% cotton but has a little spandex and polyester, which makes it feel silky and gives it a tiny amount of stretchiness. The length is perfect for tucking in or wearing loose. I’m wearing a medium that fits great and doesn’t pull at the buttons.
The EVERLASTING TOP is a fabulous white button-down shirt. I loved the material, and it is perfect for work or travel. A white button-down is a fashion workhorse since it can be dressed up or down.
I love the feel of this one; it feels very silky against my skin. However, it runs a little big. I’m wearing a medium, but I returned it and reordered a small that fits much better. One detail I read about on the website is that the shirt is made with Hydrogen odor-controlling yarns to keep your favorite styles unstinkable and fresher for longer.
Dress down or style up with the J.Crew Garçon Classic Double Gauze Shirt. Made from breezy double gauze fabric, this shirt offers a relaxed fit that’s perfect for laid-back days or casual evenings out. It would pair beautifully with anything from denim shorts to tailored trousers. I even wear shirts like this as a cardigan over a cute short-sleeved shirt. Whether heading to brunch or a casual meeting, you’ll look polished and feel comfortable all day long in this.
Everyone needs a classic button-down in a fancy fabric. This looks like silk/satin, but it’s actually 95% Polyester and 5% Spandex. That means you get a nice look without the high maintenance. Machine washable is always a plus in my book! This is a great shirt for when you need to elevate your look. Pair it with jeans and a blazer, and you’ll be sharp!
It’s all about that pretty placard down the front for me. You know how I love subtle details! Made from 100% polyester, this blouse is lightweight and breathable, perfect for transitioning through seasons. The description says it’s slightly oversized, but the reviews claim otherwise. I’d suggest you order your regular size.
A Great White Shirt Is A Must Have – Short Sleeve
Remember when I mentioned loving details? Well, it’s all about the lace sleeves for me! This shirt is so affordable, and it’s a great alternative to throwing on a t-shirt. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to look polished and together. This would be pretty with shorts, jeans, or dressed up with a nice pair of pants of flowy skirt.
You can’t go wrong with white linen in the summer. If this can make short, ripped jean shorts look cool and chic, imagine what you can do with it! I’d pair this with a white cami to make sure it’s not too transparent. You could even do a contrasting color underneath and leave the top few buttons open.
Simple and feminine, I love the V-neck and detail on the sleeves. This is another one of those shirts that can be dressed up or down, depending on the accessories. V-necks are universally flattering, too. It comes in other colors and is a great price.
A Great White Shirt Is A Must Have – Short Sleeve
This shirt can be worn with a hundred different pants, shorts, and skirts. Another reason why a great white shirt is a must have – the versatility. It’s slightly tapered at the waist which elevates it and makes it look more expensive. Only you will know that it’s justr $22 dollars! The curved hem means you can wear it untucked, too.
White Casual With Crisp Details
A great white shirt doesn’t have to be plain. I love the shape of the neck, the cute subtle design, and the SLEEVES. Lol. It’s breathable and machine washable, both great attributes. It’s pretty long, so you could wear it with leggings or tight jeans without worry.
A Great White Shirt Is A Must Have – Short Sleeve
A Classic Two Pocket White Shirt
Here is a great top for those who like the look of pockets on your shirt. This one is technically long-sleeved, but I’d wear it the same way as pictured—with the sleeves rolled up. Like the first shirt I showed, you could also wear this open like you would a light sweater.
Most of the time, I wear buttoned-up shirts or shirts with a crew neck. My sister is a huge fan of V-neck shirts, and her daughter looks amazing in square-neck shirts like the one pictured. The point is, there’s a neckline and white shirt for everyone! It’s 28 inches long and around $30. Reviews say that it runs a bit small, so size accordingly.
The Classics of all Classics – A Plain White T
Of course, you must have a good white T-shirt. I like the length of this one. I’ve said this before, but I tend to buy cheaper versions of plain white T-shirts and then replace them each year. This is a great everyday shirt. Wear it instead of a white cami when you want a base layer without the sleeveless issue. (There is Nothing worse than layering and then not wanting to lose the top layer because the upper arms are showing!)
A Great White Shirt Is A Must Have – Really Short Sleeve
This one isn’t quite sleeveless, but it’s close! Still, how pretty is this textured shirt? Sometimes, when I wear a plain T-shirt, I feel like it brings attention to my stomach. But this texture is the star of the show and will get lots of attention. Yes! It is a definite”BUY” for me as a base layer.
Okay, Gurls. Grab a crisp white shirt and rock the summer!
It’s officially summer! Add this great, versatile item to your closet today.

I love a crisp, clean white shirt. Great choices.
I need a new white shirt! You have shown some beautiful ones.
I do like a crisp white shirt.
White Shirts are an absolute must! I really like the one with the embroidery sleeve. I have one from Talbot’s very similar, but Amazon is a lot less expensive!
I love to see the different price points, and petite sizes! That first fitted blouse looks great! it’s back ordered in my size though.
Tania, what a great selection of white shirts in all different styles! Trying to decide which one(s) to purchase!! Thank you for such a great post!
Blessings.
I forgot I have white dressy shirts in the back of my closet! Thanks, Tania, for this post.
Thanks for the reminder! I have many white shirts, but don’t reach for them often enough.
I have been drinking a lot of flavored soda water – like la croix – no calories but the bubbles and flavors make it a lot of fun to drink.
Nothing better than a crisp, beautiful white shirt. Thanks for all these options!
I love a crisp white shirt in the summer! These are some great options!
White shirts and tops are a good staple. I don’t wear white often so mine last years. I’m afraid to wear white if I’m eating out.
You can never have too many white tops!
Such a cute Stanley water bottle!
Great selection of white shirts! How do you like the high rise endless pants?
LOVE them!
I definitely need a new white shirt AND tee!! Great choices!
I love your suggestions and reviews of the white shirts. I do not like to wear them if they are see through and require a camisole. Would you mention whether the shirts are see through in your reviews please? Thanks.
The ones I was wearing aren’t see though.
Love the white shirts/blouses. I’m going update for the summer. Thanks!
P.S.
I too found it hard to keep hydrated so my DIL suggested I try a products like this one to help me. The marked times may me feel like I was in competing with myself lol. Hyeta 32 oz Water Bottles with Times to Drink and Straw, Motivational Water Bottle with Time Marker, Leakproof & BPA Free, Drinking Sports Water Bottle for Fitness, Gym & Outdoor.
I have one of those type bottles, and it worked for a while. But, I went back to my old habits.
Perfect post for the spring season. I am always needing new white shirts. Thanks for sharing your input.
Great white shirts love all of them!
Love the crispy look of a white shirt be in button or pull over
That tee with the cut out sleeves is adorable!!! Tania, try putting hydration packets in your water…Happy Tuesday❤❤❤
I’ve been using those kind of packets, but I’m not noticing much difference. I’m thinking about doing a hydration infusion to see if that works.
I am a huge fan of white blouses!! I have no idea how many I have in my closets. I just ordered a satin white blouse. One more added to my collection.
As far as being dehydrated I ended up passing out, hitting my head on the door molding, fell out into the hall hitting the side of my head and came to in a puddle of blood. Ended up with 11 stitches and 4 days in the hospital. I totally hate water. I have tried every knows additive trying to drink the water.🤦🏼♀️I have tried the hydration infusions with vitamins and felt no difference. 🤷🏼♀️Best of luck feeling better and getting hydrated. It definitely effects every part of the body. I do not have a pituitary gland or adrenal glands so my blood pressure drops and I pass out especially when I am dehydrated.
Goodness, Patt! That is horrible. I’ve thought about the hydration infusions since there is a place that opened up 5 minutes from me. I hope you find a way to more hydration.
Great selection of white shirts.
All lovely. It’s nice to have a good variety to shop from. Thank you.
Chicos has a nice, basic white button down that I have purchased a few times. I love the crispness of the fabric.
I’m new to your blog and I’m enjoying your posts. I love the white linen shirt and totally agree white shirts are a must. Thanks for the tips.
I’m glad you are enjoying my posts.
I love the versatility of white shirts! The difficulty is finding a good white shirt that isn’t see-through 🫣!
Thank you for showing some beautiful options.
I’m always looking for the perfect white shirt. Thanks for all the suggestions. I like the first one, from jjill.
I love a good white tshirt, long sleeve shirt, short sleeve shirt and sleeveless shirt. I try to replace my white tees every year so they are bright white. Lots of great options here. Thanks Tania!
I love a crisp white shite!
Lots of great options!
Love this! Thank you for these suggestions….I purchased 3 white shirts, which is something that was lacking in my closet.
The shirt with lace sleeves is my absolute favorite!
I’ve always loved a white button down shirt, so classy and timeless. Thanks for the research!
Love the reviews of the white shirts- thank you.
Thanks for all the beautiful white shirts and t’s.
Always a perfect look. 👀
A lot of cute tops
I need to learn not to be afraid of white! 🤦🏻♀️ I do love the Everlasting top and the short-sleeved laced top, though! 🤍
Lots of good choices! Thank you.
Thanks for the reminder. This post took you awhile !
For me, white is a magnet for dirt.
