When choosing a white t-shirt, you’ll want to factor in the material, fit, and quality of the shirt. Let’s break it down one by one.
Quality: When it comes to picking a t-shirt, the first thing to consider is the quality. While t-shirts come in all different sorts of fabrics, cotton tees are considered the best because of their durability (they can last you for a long time), breathability, and lightweight structure. You could also roll with a polyester tee if you plan on using the shirt for working out or sports as polyester has a great sweat-wicking component to it. If you’re planning on spending a little extra money than usual, then you may also want to consider purchasing a tee with lyocell fabrics, which is the fabric typically used when it comes to “higher-end” shirts.
Sizing: You’ll also want to make note of the sizes. While this may seem “obvious,” different brands offer different sizing options, with some brands running “bigger” or “smaller.” You’ll want to consider your previous experiences with these brands in terms of how things fit your body, and if all else fails, you can read the reviews of people who have previously purchased the shirt you are looking to buy to see how it fit them. There’s always at least one review that talks about an item's fit, so make sure to check out the review section if you are having doubts.
Fit: Lastly, the actual fit in itself. This kind of goes back to what we just mentioned in terms of figuring out which size tee is the best, but you’ll also want to look at the overall cut and fit of the shirt, along with your own body type. If you are super buff, you may need a different size/model of a tee as opposed to someone who isn’t as muscular (and vice versa). If you are really tall, you might require something different than someone on the shorter/average size height-wise. Only you can determine what’s best, so make sure to do the research!
