The illusive white t-shirt

Help!

I am looking for what, in theory, should be easy to find - a white t-shirt.

It needs to be:

Loose fitting
Short sleeved
NOT SEE THROUGH!

Surely such a thing must exist! Any tips?

I get mine from Cos.

Next plain tshirts are actually pretty good quality this year for the first time in decades

greengreyblue · 22/07/2024 16:11

Next girls. They go up to age 16 and fit me(10-12 ) and are cheap. They come in a 3 or 5 pack for PE!😂

I got one from Next a couple of months ago. I've been pleased with it.

Elusive

Sorry I know that’s considered bad manners but I’m an English teacher and can’t help myself.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 22/07/2024 17:00

I really rate Arket’s tees - the heavyweight boxy t-shirt sounds like it would fit your brief pretty much exactly.

@TheWoodlanders why would you do this? The OP wants a t-shirt, not an English lesson. (I’m a lecturer so I get it, but if I went around correcting every post I saw online I would end up insane. Use your inside voice.)

Zara. They have some loose, white t-shirts in what looks to be a good quality, weighty fabric.

Maybe OP means they are dastardly and prone to tricking their wearers into bad ideas?

I remember reading about white shirts from the series 'the bear' going viral for being good but they are expensive. I just buy whatever.

TooTiredToType77 · 22/07/2024 18:57

Jigsaw have lovely to shirts..white and orange and navy etc. I gave a lovely boat neck white to shirt from uniqlo, not sure if it's current. Will have a look

TooTiredToType77 · 22/07/2024 18:57

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?  https://www.johnlewis.com/jigsaw-supima-cotton-t-shirt/p5521880?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappioss_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=

greengreyblue · 23/07/2024 07:11

I think it’s nice but pricey. I’d want at least two.

Namechangedagain3 · 23/07/2024 07:17

The next ones are fantastic this year. They’re thick, wash well and don’t go out of shape when washing. Definitely not see through

Cocteautriplet · 23/07/2024 07:17

I love this one I got from Love and Roses via Next.

Great quality cotton fabric, hangs nicely, not see through and under £20!

Could you link to the exact ones please? The couple I got from Next last year weren't good, they got those annoying tiny holes in them at the waist after one or two washes.

Go off fashion brands. Try Cotton Traders or Fruit of the Loom.

JudgeBurrito · 23/07/2024 10:25

&Other Stories if you want longer length, and (believe it or not) River Island if you want more boxy/sitting on the waistband

Chocolateisameal · 23/07/2024 10:28

Rapanui T-shirts are excellent rapanuiclothing.com

bloomingheather · 23/07/2024 10:49

I have this Reiss one and would recommend - it has a split hem but that doesn't bother me this one
Also agree with others about the Arket or COS ones. Always good quality.
