I Wear White Tops More Than Anything Else In My Closet—Here Are My 30 Favorites
If you were to take a peek into my color-coordinated closet you may notice something striking stick out at you. My section of white tops is staggeringly large. I never actually noticed how many white tops I own until my husband remarked upon it one day. What can I say? They're a great investment—from basic white tees to button-downs and knits, they’re so incredibly versatile. As someone who lives in L.A., they feel lighter, brighter, more casual, and fresher than my black tops. They pair wonderfully with jeans and skirts alike. They look crisp and polished and can easily be worn from day-to-night. In fact, I wear white tops more than anything else in my closet.
So today I wanted to share some of my favorite white tops I own in every category. From bodysuits to button-downs if you’re looking to invest in a chic and versatile white top, take a peek at these below. There’s a little something for every budget.
Best White Tees
A WWW best-seller, this is hands down one of my favorite white tees. I love the relaxed fit and the fact my bra doesn't show through—not bad for $8!
Madewell is another favorite place I go to for everyday tees. I own a handful of these whisper cotton V-neck tees along with their crew neck white tees.
Goldie's tees are so ridiculously soft and luxurious feeling. If you're looking for something more fitted yet comfortable this is your best bet.
Everlane never lets me down for the perfect everyday boxy white tee.
If you're looking for a long sleeve tee that will last you a lifetime this is it.
For a more lightweight long sleeve tee that exudes an L.A. casual vibe, James Perse is a great option.
Best White Button-Down Shirts
Madewell make some of the best white button-downs—ideal if you're looking for that relaxed oversize fit.
I like to throw on my H&M button-downs over everything from tank tops to bikinis and I never feel too precious about them.
I'm a big fan of a good popover and this is one of my favorites.
Best White Blouses
This is the best investment you'll make. Ciao Lucia makes the most versatile and flattering silhouettes that never go out of style.
I'm still all over pretty vintage-inspired collars.
I own several pretty embroidered blouses—they're perfect for dressing up or down, for work as well as more casual settings.
Best White Knits
Best White Tank Tops
The Range is one of my favorite brands for quality basics and I'm obsessed with their tanks.
Best White Bodysuits
Perfect to layer under cardigans and jackets or wear alone when the temps start to warm up.
Agolde don't just make great jeans, they make incredible bodysuits too.
Up next, I'm an expert Amazon shopper and these 9 cheap basics never let me down.
