The best white T-shirts for women are $20 and under

A white T-shirt is a closet staple and a must-have for any season, whether you’re pairing it with your favorite jeans or a work-appropriate skirt. For women, finding the best white tee is no easy task.

That’s why Yahoo Lifestyle sorted through 20 of the best-rated options to determine the best under $20. From a simple crew neck or V-neck to a cropped top with a pocket detail —we tried them all.

Here are the Yahoo Lifestyle winners.

This is one T-shirt that everyone can agree on, providing the perfect fit, casual look and level of comfort that a white tee should. It’s easy to throw on with a blue jean or to pair with a nice skirt to make it a bit more casual. (Just note that it’s a burnout style, meaning that it can be quite sheer.) For nearly $17, it’s a perfect choice for just about anyone’s closet.

Best Crewneck Tee

This Gap shirt came as a surprise, as it went above and beyond what someone might expect from a classic white tee. The quality of the top feels and looks amazing, and even gives the illusion of smoothing the body out. If you’re looking for a shirt to pair with a pant for work, this is the one!

Best Cropped Tee

A cropped top can definitely be intimidating, but this one is comfortable and not too exposing. It’s made of a thicker material, which makes it look and feel like a higher quality piece. Pair it with a high-waisted pant or skirt, or chuck it over a bikini top with a high-waisted short for the beach.
