Wirecutter - The whites we wear year-round

Rozette Rago

We think it’s perfectly fine to wear white clothes every month of the year—yep, even after Labor Day.

‌

Trends come and go, but a clean white tee is the ultimate closet chameleon. Take it from our staff writer for style coverage, Zoe Vanderweide, who has been testing women’s white tees for an upcoming guide to the sartorial staple:

‌

“For the past two months, my wardrobe has been a constant parade of white T-shirts. I’ve worn over 30 tees, from the basic Hanes crewneck to popular styles from Madewell and Everlane to higher-end offerings from Rag & Bone and Re/Done. Amazingly, I haven’t gotten bored once! Whether paired with cuffed jeans and Converse or a blazer and wide-leg pant, the white T-shirt can be one of the most versatile pieces in your closet.”

‌

If you need something a little dressier, many of our button-up shirt picks are sharp enough to wear on a date.

‌

As for shoes, we’re firm believers in a crisp, clean pair of white sneakers to elevate any look. Here are our favorites. And just as important, here’s how to clean them so they stay bright and dazzling.

‌

And for folks looking for contrast, there's always the little black dress.
