Where would you go right now for a classic fitted white shirt?

I've got an oversized white shirt I'm happy with (from Kin) but I tried on the fitted white shirt in my wardrobe I haven't worn for ages yesterday and realised it's a really dated style.

Recommendations for a good white shirt? Good cotton that doesn't show a bra, fairly classic, ideally with some design interest. Button-up and collared, although doesn't have to be traditional collar. I actually have some older Boden shirts that are lovely - thick cotton, grosgrain edging, invisible buttons so it doesn't gape - but I think those days are long gone. I was looking at With Nothing Underneath and Ralph Lauren. Budget up to £150. I wear a 6-8.

I have some really good white shirts from me+em.

Thanks @Justfivemoreminutesplease - I hadn't thought of me + em, but I guess this is pretty much what I'm looking for?

I'm also maybe looking at the Sezane tomboy shirt as I have some shirts I really love from there.

Can anyone vouch that the Hawes & Curtis ones are not see-thru?

This is the problem with shopping online for a white shirt, but high street options are pretty crappy.

With Nothing Underneath are lovely but very long in the body, which makes tucking them in tricky.
Hawes and Curtis are good, not too see through but as someone with, ahem, dark nipples I always wear a silk camisole anyway!

Hawkes and Curtis are decent quality.

Thank you. Good to know. It definitely needs to be tuckable.

I do often wear a camisole underneath anyway in cooler weather but I'd like the option of a shirt that can be worn alfresco in warmer weather.

Lands end do good shirts

Btw I got a lovely and high quality Dubarry shirt with a high neck on Vinted in the end.
