Gildan G2000, 100% US cotton and only $2-3 each, comes in 60 colours including white. All these other T shirts are way overpriced for what is basically a commodity item.
I bought the COS T-shirt a few years ago, and I LOVE it. Of course, I live in the US, so it was about half the price for me. 🙃 I love how heavy-weight it is, and it looks great when I wash on cold, line dry, and then throw in the dryer for 5 minutes with a damp cloth. Comes out looking awesome. Thanks for the review, because a great white tee is hard to find! Guess I need to try out the Everlane one!
The cos one is very premium, thick and lovely! Everlane I def prefer for everyday where I’m not scared to get it dirty or beat it up! If that helps more ❤
Lands’ End Supima cotton tees are my absolute favorite. Opaque, great quality, wash and dry well, and come in v neck, crew neck, short sleeves, and long sleeves. 🤍
My favorite is actually the Amazon Made For You Tee. It’s inexpensive but it’s custom fit to your measurements and you can give it all sorts of little customizations like the length, the sleeve length, the neckline, etc. there’s two fabric choices, 100% Pima cotton and tri-blend cotton, and a few different color choices. I don’t know anything about sustainability with Amazon clothes but this tshirt is my absolute favorite and I wear it all the time, and it’s $25 which is so worth it for the customization
I like the Uniqlo tee and have it in multiples of several colors with emphasis on black, white and navy. It washes and dries beautifully and I appreciate the weight of the fabric.
I have 3 of these uniqlo shirts and always get compliments on them! People are surprised to hear it's not from someplace higher end. They also hold up after many washes, so they last despite being fast fashion :)
I’m Uniqlo U gal. I still have those I purchased 5-6 years ago & they still look quite nice. Granted I go through the white one faster than the other colours, but even then I sort of “relegate” that for lounging around / run errands. I notice there’s 2 different types of material they use in the U line, I usually prefer the heavier & thicker one
I was legit shocked at your feedback on the Arket and COS ones (and even more shocked at the price but then again I'm in Europe so they are cheaper here). I love both of these brands and have admittedly closed my eyes to their being part of the H&M family for their basics. That being said, they do lean towards more oversized styles so as a petite, there's a lot of trying on before I find something I don't feel I'm drowning in 😅 Other good basic tees are the ones from SAMSØE SAMSØE (another scandi brand 😉) - Thanks a lot for this video! Really enjoyed it 🤍
Gap has some lovely close fitting tees this season. Soft, hefty cotton and viscose blend. Look more expensive than they are. They look a lot like the Arket tee.
Great video Christina. Can’t ever see me spending $70-$90 on a tee shirt. Great recommendation from LHLL. Would love more videos on sustainable brands in countries like UK, Australia and United States.
Love the Everlane organic boxy cut. Really hear you about cost versus longevity. I also have super cheap white tshirts from Old Navy that I wear under sweaters. They come in petite sizes which is very helpful for those of us who are 5'1".
I love the Everlane shirts (the classic cotton crew as well). The weight and texture are just perfect for me. I actually like that they’re the teeniest but sheer!
I loved this video so much! I've been on a lookout for good quality white t-shirt for ages and every brand recommendation on UA-cam has always been US based brands like Everlane. Was SO pleased to hear some European based recommendations too!
My newest white t-shirt discovery is the Kirkland Brand (yes Costco!) Mens' Crew Neck t-Shirt. Lay Flat collar , 100% combed Heavyweight cotton, Reinforced Seams, Tagless. A six-pack for $23 US!! I bought for my son, but I'm keeping a couple of them for myself!
My current favorite is the LHLL grunge tee. I got it in large, which is quite oversized for me, exactly as I wanted. Slouchy, soft and broken-in-feeling, all the things I love.
I grab Uniqlo tees from the men's section (I have a large chest - 32E - and even based on that, would recommend to size down one size from your usual women's size) and love them! I've had many for 5+ years. I did comment earlier that I gave up on white tees, which is true for the most part bc I'm clumsy and tend to need quite a relaxed fit because of my chest & shoulder area. But other colors and patterns have been staples in my wardrobe for years :) I wait for their $5 US sales and grab 1-2 every couple of years.
There are some COS boutiques across Canada so when Im close by I go for COS. Otherwise its Uniqlo for me (with size up) its an everyday luxurious feeling without breaking the bank😈
They grew on me a lot more from the initial filming! Sometimes the eye needs to adjust for me. I like them all - just usually I prefer a more sheer grungy tee myself.
Hello! I love white tee reviews. I had the Everlane box tee and it was good, but as someone with a longer torso, I wanted more length. The old U Neck was my all time favorite! I wish Everlane would bring us back! Since then, my budget favorite is Amazon essentials and my sustainable favorite is For Days, a closed-loop option with a “good” ratings at Good On You. I bought the Daily Tee in three colors and wore them out!
I have several Pact tshirts that I love. For me (in Colorado, US) they’re a local, fair-trade certified company that offers a great price point, good quality for grab-n-go spring/summer tee. They promote sustainability, and because they ship from one town over, my carbon footprint when purchasing is minimal (something I’m starting to think about more and more). The tees themselves aren’t super thick, so no black bras here, but nude works just fine.
I actually think Arket t-shirt looked the best out of the selection you’ve made. Some t-shirts were very sheer and with not enough room in the sleeves not contributing to a great style imo.
The Arket had the perfect sleeve length, and not too wide, making it the ideal tee to wear with any style and still look elegant. A winner imo. The others were meh and not worth the money.
@@leadoucet1432 100% :) I just ordered two t-shirts from Arket. I tried couple of heavyweight t-shirts from Cos. Amazing quality, but a bit cropped compared to ones from Arket
I saw that someone wrote the brand Asket that you included in Arket (maybe assuming a typo) but Asket is a separate brand that is very based in the capsule closet idea and sustainability!
Thank you for the review!! My favorite is American giant:)) But it’s a slub not everyone love the fabric but it’s beautiful. I have them a many colors. White is creamy though better for a warm tone:)))
I recently launched a search for a white T-shirt to replace a loose fitting v neck I loved by current/Elliot that they won’t make anymore. I ended up trying Rowan Tyler tees and love them. I wanted one that was kind of ‘50s marlon Brando, James dean classic, 100 percent cotton and not too tight or too loose. They say their cotton is pima cotton grown in California. I’m in the US though, but I’m very happy with them. The sizing for women is tiny though. I got large and even an extra large Tyler and it fits exactly like I wanted. First time I’ve ever bought an extra large!
I have the Everlane long sleeve white t - shirt and it is a bit light and sheer but that is exactly what I like about it. I wear it under all my winter sweaters and it has held up really well. I really am glad it is certified organic so the price is worth it. The short sleeve one I’m I’m going to buy is by MATE the label.
I liked the Arket one the best. I've been looking at this one for a while. I've got a couple of their standard t-shirts but not the heavyweight. I've been dithering a bit as they are quite expensive for a t-shirt. But personally I love that thicker heavyweight fabric. I also like that the sleeves are a little bit longer and the body looks a bit longer too. I like to tuck them into my jeans and a lot of the other ones are just a bit too cropped for me. The only thing that's now putting me off is that it's an off-white and not a true white.
It was great review video. Thank you. My favourite is Theory white t-shirts. The one I got 2 years ago still holds its shape. Usually I have to buy a new one within 6 months or so. Because I wear white tees almost every day. I also like COS. I am planning to order from Kotn after this video.
@@Christinamychas Will check out the everlane tshirt. I gave my uniqlo tshirt to my sister bec of the too high crew neck that I feel like im suffocated. 😂
I love the Uniqlo men’s oversized Airism tees. Their short sleeves are 1/2 sleeves. They do run large. I usually like a men’s medium but in these I wear a small and they are still very roomy. These are comfortable and remind me of Tibi tees. They have the same higher neck and cool slouch to them.
I tend to not spend much on white tees because they always stain in the armpits after awhile whether I use natural or regular deodorants. The last ones I bought were from Old Navy. I could never justify the cost of the Cos or Arket brands (fellow Canadian here 😊). Thanks for testing all these brands Christina! Would love to see more of this type of video.
The prices. Gez. I buy universal threads from target and I think they’re usually on sale for eight or nine dollars lol and I prefer a V-neck but they do have crewneck 100% cotton love love love them.
Hi from St. John's. Newfoundland! I just finished reading The Conscious Closet and downloaded the Good On You app today. Because you mentioned them a while back I put in my first ever KOTN order today and then ran across this video afterwards. Hoping I ordered the right size in the Essential T but we shall see... might have gone up a size if I had seen this first. Love your channel! Thanks for all your work here and, like others, I'd love to see a video from you on black pants, and white button downs. PS If you do, please include brands with plus / curvy sizes.
Etiko has a reputation in Australia for being very ethical (STC, GOTS, B Corp, Fairtrade), they sell a lot of cotton basics. I love to support them, it is such a shame they haven't got any crew neck T-shirts! The closest they get is the mens/unisex round neck which for me is just still too loose and it's too long for my bod. I so wish they would do one in Mychas style! But a very comfy white shirt nonetheless, great quality.
I just bought 3 everlane t-shirts, one white, one gray and one pink. I had bought a black and white about a year ago and I loved them. But these new ones are different, shorter, heavier material. When I went to order I just assumed they were still the same ones from a year ago because they were the same price but they are definately different. I still like them but I like the older ones much better.
ouch .. I think Ill just sew my own shirt from closet core patterns (Canadian company)I think seeing these shirt helps me in my sewing world and that I THANK YOU
I don’t really wear cotton white t-shirts, I do love a short sleeve cashmere crew though as my go to throw on top. Everlane has a good one and so does State cashmere.
the Arket T shirt reminds me of my boyfriend's Banana Republic Lux Touch T, which I occasionally "borrow" to wear once in a while. For those who like Arket, I believe they also have women's Lux Touch Tees now at BR
Other than KOTN and UNIQLO, haven’t heard of these brands. The prices were too high for a tee. My favorite tees come from Gap and Banana Republic. They’re owned by the same parent company, which explains why I like their tees, Gap for the price, and Banana Republic because I have always loved the quality of their 100% cotton Tees.
Arket and COS, I really like my T-Shirts heavyweight and a bit oversized. Tough that the Arket isn’t 100% is really a downside, because it’s my favourite cut-wise.
I am a Canadian living abroad and i love the Uniqlo tshirts, and the COS one, which I have in 2-3 colours. They are both very resistent, they have been my go to tshirts for work for the last few years. I thought COS and Uniqlo existed in Toronto. What’s also nice is a plain white tshirt from the men’s section, they are always better structured and better quality. Why are products geared towards women lower quality?
I didn't know, that COS and Arket are not being sold in Kanada. Surprising... By the way, they are both under the umbrella from H&M. They are one of my favorite Brand here in Europe. And my favorite T-shirt is from COS, that had an unusual boxy form and longer slaves.
No, no, no, no…all of those NOOOOO! (for me anyway). After years of trial & error with (basic) t-shirts I gave up, convinced there doesn’t exist a t-shirt for this absurdly unproportionately long torso. EVERYTHING either way too short or not short enough/hits that weird place on hips…just NO! Recently found myself breezing through a store and spotted (all the way on other end of store) “THE ONE!!!” Like “WAAAAAAAIT! That’s IIIIIIIT! Why was that so impossible to find whenever I was looking for it???! On closer examination realized it was actually the little mini cropped style but the X large (OMG HOW did I miss that all these years???) I’m petite so I automatically buy small or X small. Perfectly shaped, perfectly cut, hits RIGHT on the waistband (no fighting with the whole tuck business 🎉)…PERFECTION! And they’re 95% cotton. That little bit of spandex extremely important for these broad shoulders so it doesn’t lose its shape. On sale $6…bought every colour. Considering that the little bralette tops of the same brand I bought years ago and almost never take off are still going strong, they’re worth their weight in gold for me. But disclaimer….the “elevated” significantly more expensive “fashion” white tees…yes I own those too. But I only wear them in the warm summer months on their own as they’re meant to be shown off & need to be styled a very particular way. These are not those t-shirts. The basic/every day/work/throw under your blazer/hoodie/cardi etc…goes with anything…is the category these are in. Best $6 I’ve spent in years!
AMAZON ESSENTIALS ! GREAT t shirt! $5.00 right now ! I buy a lot of white t shirts and actually like Amazon best ! Lots of colors. Did you hear me? They are 5.00 !
I bought a vintage cotton thin lacy dress and managed to get the pit stains out with a method I found online, think it was a toothbrush dipped in maybe diluted peroxide and brushed over the stain with baking soda. Try looking up specific directions. Worked for me!
I can't do anything white. It's stained and dingy looking way too fast. I go for colored tops and black pants. I don't have any particular brands at the moment since I'm working on my weight and I go for cheaply made items
I love t shirts from Everlane, Old Navy and the Gap. I'm in the US. ANY brand that's under the HM umbrella is a NO from me, they don't do enough to offset their environmental footprint at all.
I went into a Uniqlo shop one day at a very nice mall. I was amazed at the cut of the clothes. So wide, even in small sizes. I don't understand why? Can anyone explain that?
Unfortunately, with how slim fit that KOTN one is, an XXXL might be the equivalent to a 1X at the most, which is not that size inclusive. It certainly wouldn't fit me. LHLL has no size chart, so I wouldn't trust that one at all.
I can’t do white tees. They will never stay white. I don’t have any white, even towels and socks. I’m not precious with laundry, all colors get washed together in cold. That said, I ended up buying the LHLL mercury tee in black. Ended up being $79 US with tax and shipping. I’m not mad about. I like the material, the boxy fit, and the size range. I’m plus sized and I always appreciate a brand, especially a small brand that is size inclusive.
To me, there's no perfect white t-shirt. ALL of them turn grey within 2-3 washes. I'll skip, thanks. White shirt has ZERO place in my wardrobe! Same goes for "black" (aka dark blue, dark brown etc - none of them are truly black). Black attracts my cat's hair, dust and laundry fading. Nope, skip. Light grey or blue are my favorite "white shirt" colour. Dark blue or grey are my "black". I hope, it helps! PS For warm tone looks I'd replace grey and blue with beige, brown or warm green. You're welcome 😇
I'm very partial to both the Arket and COS shirts, but then I like the heavy and structured feel of a thick T-shirt and I'm in Europe, where they are actually quite affordable (39€/29€). I have also had mine for 3+ years and they are still looking great. BTW Thank you for the bra test. For me that's the most important factor when buying white tops.
Love this type of video! Would love to see more comparisons (tank tops, sweatshirts etc.). I'm from Toronto as well and recently lived in Sweden. It breaks my heart knowing how expensive brands like COS and Arket are here. I have the tshirt from Arket and when I got it in Sweden it converted to $25 cad 😦. So in that regard it was definitely worth the price!
Please drop your fave plain white tee brand and why!
Gildan G2000, 100% US cotton and only $2-3 each, comes in 60 colours including white. All these other T shirts are way overpriced for what is basically a commodity item.

do they still make this? i’ve been trying to find it and i can’t

Did you have to size up also?
@@victoryhawks2630 I usually go for XS or S in general. For this tee, I do a S. I'd say for someone with broader shoulders to size up.

Love h&m oversized linen
abercrombie oversized button up. i wear it constantly and it's lasted for years, still good quality
GU has some good ones right now
J crew cotton gauze or j crew factory cotton gauze, I wear it all year round
Great video Christina. Can’t ever see me spending $70-$90 on a tee shirt. Great recommendation from LHLL. Would love more videos on sustainable brands in countries like UK, Australia and United States.

Personally, my favorite is the Uncle Studios T Shirt. I have quite a few and they always look great.
I can usually find reasonable priced Ts at Gap or Banana Republic. I am in the US but they are usually under $20 when on sale.
I’ve been loving the uniqlo shirts a lot lately and am really excited that they’re putting a store into a mall in Ottawa !
Could you do the same video for ribbed top? :D
I liked the Arket one the best. I've been looking at this one for a while.
I've got a couple of their standard t-shirts but not the heavyweight. I've been dithering a bit as they are quite expensive for a t-shirt.
But personally I love that thicker heavyweight fabric. I also like that the sleeves are a little bit longer and the body looks a bit longer too. I like to tuck them into my jeans and a lot of the other ones are just a bit too cropped for me.
The only thing that's now putting me off is that it's an off-white and not a true white.
I LOVE THIS. This is what I want to know - what is the best type of X.
Brilliant. Thank you for doing this

Could you do a review of the ASKET tees? I am really curious about it😇
I have their white cotton tshirt and black jersey shirt. They're great. The jersey feels nice on the skin and not see through.
I like a Gap t shirt myself. They’re cheap and good quality.
I make mine. Custom fit. Cashmirette Concord T pattern. The best fit ever.
So cool!
This is a really helpful video, thank you. I really enjoy your content.
Oh my thank you so so much! ❤❤🥹🥹
Hope you try MATE the label. I agree with Everlane being a good buy.
Loved this video.. and I agree with usu on first and second
Other than KOTN and UNIQLO, haven’t heard of these brands. The prices were too high for a tee. My favorite tees come from Gap and Banana Republic. They’re owned by the same parent company, which explains why I like their tees, Gap for the price, and Banana Republic because I have always loved the quality of their 100% cotton Tees.
Just posted the same thing. Gap and BR have great ones and run great sales.
@@cindynorris5983 I live for BR sales! I have tees and dresses I bought in the 90’s that look as good now as they did new!
NOT A JOKE - Northern Relections! 100% cotton fab quality on sale now for $18.00. Always buy my t's there. Long sleeve, short sleeve and sleeveless!
Wowwwww throwback!
Thank you! Have you tried a larger size in the Uniqlo? I'd like to try it and I usually dry my shirts.
COS for me is the
winner
A year later it is for me too! Everlane still good as well
Those are insane prices for a white T shirt
Arket and COS, I really like my T-Shirts heavyweight and a bit oversized. Tough that the Arket isn’t 100% is really a downside, because it’s my favourite cut-wise.
I am a Canadian living abroad and i love the Uniqlo tshirts, and the COS one, which I have in 2-3 colours. They are both very resistent, they have been my go to tshirts for work for the last few years. I thought COS and Uniqlo existed in Toronto. What’s also nice is a plain white tshirt from the men’s section, they are always better structured and better quality. Why are products geared towards women lower quality?
Definitely COS 👍👍
I didn't know, that COS and Arket are not being sold in Kanada. Surprising... By the way, they are both under the umbrella from H&M.
They are one of my favorite Brand here in Europe. And my favorite T-shirt is from COS, that had an unusual boxy form and longer slaves.
We actually do have COS. Wish we had Arket!
No, no, no, no…all of those NOOOOO! (for me anyway).
After years of trial & error with (basic) t-shirts I gave up, convinced there doesn’t exist a t-shirt for this absurdly unproportionately long torso. EVERYTHING either way too short or not short enough/hits that weird place on hips…just NO!
Recently found myself breezing through a store and spotted (all the way on other end of store) “THE ONE!!!” Like “WAAAAAAAIT! That’s IIIIIIIT! Why was that so impossible to find whenever I was looking for it???!
On closer examination realized it was actually the little mini cropped style but the X large (OMG HOW did I miss that all these years???) I’m petite so I automatically buy small or X small. Perfectly shaped, perfectly cut, hits RIGHT on the waistband (no fighting with the whole tuck business 🎉)…PERFECTION! And they’re 95% cotton. That little bit of spandex extremely important for these broad shoulders so it doesn’t lose its shape. On sale $6…bought every colour. Considering that the little bralette tops of the same brand I bought years ago and almost never take off are still going strong, they’re worth their weight in gold for me. But disclaimer….the “elevated” significantly more expensive “fashion” white tees…yes I own those too. But I only wear them in the warm summer months on their own as they’re meant to be shown off & need to be styled a very particular way. These are not those t-shirts. The basic/every day/work/throw under your blazer/hoodie/cardi etc…goes with anything…is the category these are in. Best $6 I’ve spent in years!
And you didn't tell us what brand ????
@@alcogito8287 Streetwear Society (Urban Planet) I don’t know if it exits outside Canada
Fun video & review!
AMAZON ESSENTIALS ! GREAT t shirt! $5.00 right now ! I buy a lot of white t shirts and actually like Amazon best ! Lots of colors. Did you hear me? They are 5.00 !
I’m all about the regular men’s fruit of the loom or Hanes 😂
I've never had success with white tees lol I gave up 🤣
Hello how tall are you? I think it will help for sizing reference
165cm!
Hello from Ukrane! I have seen your tatoo) It was new for me
My big problem with white tees especially is underarm staining. I don’t even buy white tees anymore because of pit stains. Any tips?
Aluminum free deodorant helps! And I always treat with an oxygenated spot cleaner before washes on the pits and collar
I bought a vintage cotton thin lacy dress and managed to get the pit stains out with a method I found online, think it was a toothbrush dipped in maybe diluted peroxide and brushed over the stain with baking soda. Try looking up specific directions. Worked for me!
How do you keep your tees white Christina? I’m a black tee gal because I have ruined too many white ones and can’t be trusted with them 😢
always wash in cold water with whites only, and dry in direct sunlight
Im searching for the best V-Neck Tshirt.
I can't do anything white. It's stained and dingy looking way too fast. I go for colored tops and black pants. I don't have any particular brands at the moment since I'm working on my weight and I go for cheaply made items
Bleach.
I love t shirts from Everlane, Old Navy and the Gap. I'm in the US. ANY brand that's under the HM umbrella is a NO from me, they don't do enough to offset their environmental footprint at all.
Awesome video. Please do more like this one!
I'm a tshirt gal but some of them are too expensive. Not buying them 🤔
i wear the Uniqlo t-shirts and I do size up. Maybe because they are a Japanese brand?
I went into a Uniqlo shop one day at a very nice mall. I was amazed at the cut of the clothes. So wide, even in small sizes. I don't understand why? Can anyone explain that?
Everlane is a union buster.
Arket one should score even lower imo. Organic cotton or not, elastane blend makes it non-recycable. So it's even less sustainable than Uniqlo one.
Ohhh good point! Thanks!
Unfortunately, with how slim fit that KOTN one is, an XXXL might be the equivalent to a 1X at the most, which is not that size inclusive. It certainly wouldn't fit me. LHLL has no size chart, so I wouldn't trust that one at all.
I can’t do white tees. They will never stay white. I don’t have any white, even towels and socks. I’m not precious with laundry, all colors get washed together in cold. That said, I ended up buying the LHLL mercury tee in black. Ended up being $79 US with tax and shipping. I’m not mad about. I like the material, the boxy fit, and the size range. I’m plus sized and I always appreciate a brand, especially a small brand that is size inclusive.
LHLL is the best!
Uk is in Europe
Unfortunately if you have a large chest a crew neck isn’t very flattering.
Then you choose a v-neck, which IS.
Wow people actually pay $60 for a white tee shirt? Yeah it’s a basic but….one drip of coffee….done.
The quality of Tradlands is unbeatable. Pricier, but worth it.
To me, there's no perfect white t-shirt. ALL of them turn grey within 2-3 washes. I'll skip, thanks. White shirt has ZERO place in my wardrobe! Same goes for "black" (aka dark blue, dark brown etc - none of them are truly black). Black attracts my cat's hair, dust and laundry fading. Nope, skip. Light grey or blue are my favorite "white shirt" colour. Dark blue or grey are my "black". I hope, it helps! PS For warm tone looks I'd replace grey and blue with beige, brown or warm green. You're welcome 😇
I'm very partial to both the Arket and COS shirts, but then I like the heavy and structured feel of a thick T-shirt and I'm in Europe, where they are actually quite affordable (39€/29€). I have also had mine for 3+ years and they are still looking great.
BTW Thank you for the bra test. For me that's the most important factor when buying white tops.
Love to see someone talking about fashion from a Canadian perspective - taking shipping cost and tax and duties into consideration! 🤩
Totally agree.
Love this type of video! Would love to see more comparisons (tank tops, sweatshirts etc.). I'm from Toronto as well and recently lived in Sweden. It breaks my heart knowing how expensive brands like COS and Arket are here. I have the tshirt from Arket and when I got it in Sweden it converted to $25 cad 😦. So in that regard it was definitely worth the price!
