There’s something about a plain white T-shirt. Simple, elegant and classic, the staple has gotten me through some major wardrobe meltdowns, on those days when I had “nothing” to wear. Time after time, I turn to the perennially chic basic whether I’m dressing for day or night during winter or summer.

Considered the ultimate closet must-have, the white T-shirt is perhaps the simplest yet most versatile piece of clothing that everyone should have on hand. Yet finding the perfect one isn’t the easiest task. Whether it’s too tight, too stretchy, too short, too rough not all tees are made equal. Take it from the gal who spent years finding her be-all, end-all fit, this is the last white T-shirt you will ever buy. Please say hello to Everlane’s Organic Cotton Tee.

Not only is it a great shirt, it comes in at under $20 a piece. I’ve told all my friends about this t-shirt and even waxed poetic about it on Vogue.com. I pair this with literally everything: jean shorts, leggings, bike shorts and of course, even sweatpants. And now I pass this wisdom onto you dear reader.

Next time you find yourself faced with a closet dilemma, consider the white tee your best bet.
