When it comes to closet staples, few are more quintessential than a crisp white T-shirt. While this enduring piece has been a cornerstone of women’s closets and iterated on by many fashion labels, no tee has come up close to Hanes’ Perfect-T, which is 42 percent off (under $7) for Amazon Prime Day 2023. 

Hanes’ Perfect-T is a cherished fashion stalwart because it’s reliable and versatile. It checks off every box of what a white T-shirt should be. Have a crew neck? Check. Free of details like pockets? Yes! Durable enough to wash regularly? Yup. Designed by a tried-and-true brand? Next question.

The shirt has a comforting loose fit throughout the shoulders, chest, arms, and body, making it feel like you’ve owned it forever. Plus, the light 4.5-ounce cotton makes it the perfect choice for muggy summer days when you don’t want your shirt clinging to your body or turning the underarms yellow. “It has a great fit and weight and holds up well in the wash. I have several brands and neckline styles hanging in the closet, and I keep reaching for the Hanes,” notes one happy Amazon shopper. The most important detail of all is the price tag. For one day only (Amazon Prime Day ends tonight!), this T-shirt is just $6.99. What better way to stock up on an Amazon wardrobe essential than at a delightful discounted price?

But that’s not all — the Hanes Perfect-T is a sartorial saving grace. Just ask celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Katie Holmes, and Kaia Gerber, who frequently reach for a white T-shirt to pull all types of outfits together. Time and time again, these fashion tastemakers have proved that a crisp white T-shirt is a cinch to pair with everything from comfortable trousers and blazers to baggy jeans and sneakers.

How to Style a White T-Shirt Like a Celebrity

From 9-to-5

Can I wear a white T-shirt in the office? Yes! Staying calm, cool and collected is key when meeting clients or working on a presentation. Paired with tailored trousers, a sleek belt, and a lightweight jacket or a button-down shirt, this wardrobe workhorse is the base layer you need to build an effortlessly chic work outfit around.

For the Reformer

The Sunday morning pilates-to-brunch pipeline has never looked better. Gigi Hadid’s outfit consists of a boxy white T-shirt, colored bike shorts, clogs, a bucket hat, and retro sunglasses — and we couldn’t ask for anything more. The oversized, relaxed fit of her top balances out the body-skimming fit of her shorts to create an ensemble that is out-of-the-house appropriate. Slip into some Birkenstock Bostons and you’re ready to recap the weekend after breaking a sweat.

Off-Duty

Ah, the white tee and denim jeans combo — a total classic! However, the key to nailing the look is finding the perfect pair of women’s jeans that cinch the waist and are baggy throughout the legs. To add modern flair, pair with a shiny leather designer handbag and chunky sneakers ,like Vans’ skate shoes a la Bieber. The result? An enviable-yet-easy look that will make off-duty days feel all the more put-together.

After Dark

At one time, a white tee might have been considered too informal to be appropriate for a night out. However, Rihanna has proved that when styled correctly, a white T-shirt can provide the right balance to rich textures and over-the-top glam. If it’s a loose-fitting tee, make sure to tie the back in a knot — like you would when you were a teenager. Then, reach for tight bottoms, a fun jacket, and pointed heels.
