Around the GQ water cooler, there aren’t many topics more bandied about than the best white tee. What goes down is not unlike the business card scene in American Psycho, only more neurotic. We talk at length about the fit, the fabric, the construction, the long-winded, unnecessary back stories, all in service of doing our very favorite white tees justice.
Many of us have searched nearly our entire lives for the perfect plain white tee. But in that search we’ve all come to the same conclusion: no such thing exists. And because GQ isn't staffed by robots with carbon-copy bodies, we all have different preferences. After the jump, you’ll find our battled-tested, hard-won, expert opinions on the go-to white T-shirts we swear by—and actually live in.
