I have to admit that I’ve never given the basic T much thought. Despite their versatility I avoid them because I’m clumsy and I spill a lot (especially coffee) how do you keep yours white!!
I’m fairly clumsy too 😬 I always carry a tide pen with me without fail and just soak it or throw it in the wash if I get a big stain. Otherwise I just do regular wash and try to air dry and they have stayed white! If a stain sets, I take a q tip and dab it with bleach and run it gently across the stain for like 5-10 mins max and it comes right out! (Learned that tip from my mom)
I’m so glad Julia! I think the Leset tee is definitely worth a try. I take into account the fabric weight, fit and durability over time to retain its shape and this one has passed! I’ve had it for a year and still in as good condition as when I first got it
A new subscriber here! Have to say that I am enjoying your writing and point of view. I love a good deep dive into specific garments - the why, the how - and appreciate that your newsletters aren’t just shopping lists and links. How about a denim deep dive next? Are you a vintage denim fan??
That’s so kind Francine and thank you for subscribing! I wish I knew more about vintage denim! I tend to just keep the denim I like for a very long time. I love the suggestion though so maybe I could collab with someone who is more of an expert on this!

This was incredibly useful! Need to look closer at that Leset Margot Tee

It's so important that a tshirt holds shape! And I love the way it fits both on you and on the model on the site🥰

Loved everything about this post! Especially the reflection piece and how your own style language translates to your white tee rotation. Brilliant.
Thank you Angela, appreciate it! ❤️
