Nothing holds a closet together like the perfect basic tee. We all have those core wardrobe investments to which we are completely attached, often because these pieces have gotten us through occasions of all sorts. Whether dressed up or down, a great basic is at the core of any complete outfit.

I've recently been loving this particular white tee because it combines comfort and structure with an ultra-soft fabric and contrast seams. Despite its slouchy silhouette, it can be instantly dressed up under a tailored blazer and tucked into high-rise shorts. The result is an outfit that will take you seamlessly from day to night and whatever they may bring.
