16 OF THE BEST WHITE T-SHIRTS ON ASOS RIGHT NOW

By Sarah Waldron, 25 May 2026

It’s hard to imagine one garment being so iconic or having such sartorial power, but that’s the white T-shirt for you. It's the foundation of every wardrobe. From the office, to the gym, to casual plans, to something more formal, there's a white T-shirt for literally every occasion – it's just that versatile. There are plenty of considerations for such a simple piece, but don’t stress – we’re going to break them down and go through some of the best ones to add to your basket.

CLASSIC WHITE TEES

When we say classic, we mean classic. The white is bright and the fit is regular. The fabric is 100% cotton and a decent mid-weight jersey or, if you’re feeling fancy, the kind of well-washed vintage fabric that only comes with a thousand spin cycles. For reasons of practicality, we’ll be focusing on the former. And whether you opt for Bershka or BOSS, it's important to care for your tees. To keep it looking its best, don’t wash at too high a temp, use detergent for whites and line-dry if you can – the sun naturally bleaches fabric, while repeated dryer use can reveal previously hidden sweat stains.

OVERSIZED WHITE T-SHIRTS

Maybe you’re looking for something less classic and a little more current, so may we direct you to the oversized tee section? The oversized tee fulfils two functions: 1) it looks good, especially with wide-leg trousers. 2) It’s perfect for gym sessions, whether you're weight training or doing cardio. For the first function, go for heavyweight fabric – it just drapes better and looks more expensive. For the second, think lighter and more technical fabrics for their sweat-wicking properties. You’ll find plenty in our 4505 drop.

LONG-SLEEVE WHITE T-SHIRTS

Long-sleeve tees are perfect for those who prefer a bit more coverage or are into layering – popping a short-sleeve version on top is a tried-and-tested look for surfers and skaters alike. When it comes to fabric and fit, you have choice. Cotton: On’s version has a subtle waffle texture that gives it an extra dose of interest, while Weekday’s has a cool, boxy cut that takes centre stage against the relatively simplicity of the smooth white jersey.

OFF-WHITE TEES

Off-white tees are for those who still want the calm and collected vibe of the white version without being quite as spotless and pristine. Ivory and cream tees have a warmer aspect to them that goes better with earth-tone trousers (think beige chinos, army-green camo or brown tailoring), because bright, clean white can have sneaky blue undertones. Off-white tees can look more vintage too, if you’re going for that – ASOS DESIGN’s cream linen-look tee has a slubbed finish that’s super soft and makes the fabric feel well-loved in places. It’ll look just as good with shorts in warm weather as jeans when the breeze creeps in.
