The 3 Best Men’s White T-Shirts of 2025
Top pick
A white T-shirt may not be the fanciest item in your rotation, but when it’s done right, it could be the most frequently worn. So there’s an argument to be made for treating yourself to a really nice shirt—or, in the case of the Lady White Co. Our T-Shirt, two of them. This 100% cotton tee feels subtly elevated in all kinds of ways, from its unusual, pleasantly textured fabric to its effortlessly casual cut, seamless construction, and subtle off-white color.
The Our T-Shirt comes in a limited size range, from S to XL, so we were disappointed that not all of our panelists could test it. Still, the four who could found this tee more flattering, comfortable, and durable than any other shirt they tried.
It has a classic, ultra-flattering cut. The Our T-Shirt is cut to perfection. A size L measures about 22 inches across the chest, so it’s roomier than our other picks and a touch more boxy yet still slim—and it drapes beautifully, without clinging to the stomach. One wearer (size L) quipped, “You look more like an alley cat in it than a chunky unit.” (And we’ll note that is intended as a good thing.)
This tee is slightly broader in the shoulders than others we tried, and the sleeves, which hit about midway to the elbow, are on the longer side too. “I like that they cover up my Shaggy-from-Scooby-Doo biceps,” cracked one panelist (size XL). It’s a bit shorter than our other picks (a size L measured 28¼ inches long before laundering and 27½ inches after), and it looked good untucked on our 6-foot tester.
Unfortunately, this shirt comes in the smallest size range of any of our picks; the largest size offered is a men’s XL.
Its cotton is discernibly different. Made from 100% North Carolina cotton, the Our T-Shirt is thicker and more luxurious than the others we tested. (It also didn’t shrink much in our washing and drying tests—just 1 inch across both length and width.) The fabric feels dense, dry, and very textured, without being heavy or stiff. One tester remarked, “The shape and structure [of the material] hangs beautifully, even when not on the body.”
Note that when you order this tee in white, the color you’ll receive is more of a worn-in canvas shade. We ended up digging its vintage-y look. But given that this is a white T-shirt guide, it’s a point worth emphasizing.
It’s loaded with high-quality details. Uniquely among our picks, this T-shirt is made using a tubular construction, which means it doesn’t have any side seams. One tester (size XL) called this a “big bonus” because it allows the shirt to fall naturally on the body without the pull or pinch of a seam. Another tester described the tee’s construction as “immaculate.”
This shirt has a different collar than the others we tested; it’s a narrow band of ribbed, double-thick material, which makes it less prone to stretching out. It also gives the tee a more fashion-forward look—there’s no mistaking this for undershirt—though one panelist said that the collar felt too bulky for layering under a sweater.
It’s pricey, but it’s built to last. At around $110 for a pack of two, the Our T-Shirt is an investment. But experience has convinced us that the value is there. One panelist reported that he wore his Lady White Co. tees one to two times a week for about a year, and they were still holding up well. And he said the crisp cotton had gotten softer and more broken-in with regular laundering.
Flaws but not dealbreakers:
- The limited size range (from S to XL) is a bummer. Luckily, this shirt doesn’t shrink much and fits true to size.
- We liked the off-white color, but it would be nice if this tee were available in a true white as well.
- This shirt is pricey, and it’s available only in a two-pack.
