Maybe I throw this around a lot, but I really, really am an expert when it comes to basics, specifically white tees and tanks. Not only do I have a very large drawer dedicated to them, but they're also what I wear literally every day. Whether with jeans, drawstring pants, shorts, leggings, or anything else, I live in these things, so you can trust me when I say I know the good ones.
Expensive, affordable, in-between—I've got you. Below, you'll first find the handful that are heaviest in my current rotation, followed by the ones I'm eyeing just as soon as some space in the aforementioned drawer opens up. Think everything from Flore Flore and Éterne to Zara and H&M because if there's one thing I know, it's that anything can be achieved on a budget. Heard enough? Simply keep scrolling to start shopping.
