In an effort to make my life easier, I’ve instituted a few new rules around here, one of which is a major simplification of my wardrobe. I’ve taken to a daily uniform of sorts: skinny jeans, simple tee, and either sandals or booties, depending on the weather.
In that new routine, I wanted to find a perfect white tee that I could wear every day, or every other day, that would last for a while, was a flattering cut, and wasn’t outrageously expensive. Thus began the hunt for the perfect white tee.
I knew I wanted v-neck because that is just the most flattering cut for my body type. I’m pretty short and my torso is the shortest part of my body, so anything to elongate that is helpful! But I didn’t want it to be too low-cut – because I mean I am a preacher’s wife and all and I want to be sure I can wear these to church! I also didn’t want it to be too see-through, for the same reason, because I don’t want to have to wear a nude tank underneath it if I don’t have to.
Lastly – NO POCKET! I know some people love a pocket but these people must have small boobs. Because a pocket either falls awkwardly to the side of my boob OR it sits right on the nipple and well, just no. Do you know how hard it is to find a tee without a pocket?
Here are the five or so that I found and love!

Eddie Bauer Women’s Favorite Short Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirt
This is probably my favorite of all the ones I tried out. The fabric is thick and soft, not see through, the v-neck was a flattering but still modest depth, and the length hit the right place around my hips so it wasn’t too long or too short. In other words, it was the goldie locks and the three bears version of the tee!
J.Crew Vintage Cotton V-Neck Tee
Yall this one is SO STINKING SOFT. It is a vintage slub cotton so it is super lightweight but still not completely transparent. The neck is slightly lower cut though – so probably one I will save for a night out or a conference rather than anything where Jett would be present.
Target Merona Women’s Ultimate Vee Tee
If you’re on a budget, this is a great tee to add to your rotation – it is only $9! My billfold likes this one! And it comes in a ton of colors so you get a lot of variety for a very small investment.
Target Merona Women’s Vintage Vee Tee
This is the poor gal’s version of the J.Crew tee – it is the same slub material and fit at half the price (also, only $9). I suspect it may not last as long as my J.Crew one but I still love it just the same.
Do you have a go-to tee that you love? I’d love to hear what your favorite staple in your wardrobe is!
