Perfect white tee - FOUND

I have spent many years/dollars trying to find the perfect white tee.

I wanted a fitted (not tight) v-neck.  The Saba tee didn't work out too well for me despite many recs from Voguettes.  Neither did Asos or any of the 5 random tees I bought in desperation.

Then I found Everlane.  Their tees are 100% cotton and only USD$15!!!!


So I bought the white v-neck and a black one.  Then I bought grey.  Then I got a navy v-neck and a black u-neck.  I'm now converted.



And this is the u-neck:


The u-neck is cut slightly larger so size down if you want a similar fit to the v-neck.  I'm a 6 and I take XS in both v-neck and u-neck although I just noticed XXS in some tees so might try those out.

I've introduced the fiance to Everlane and he now owns more Everlane gear than I do.  He's got v-neck tees, pocket tees and oxford shirts and loves them all.

The only catch is Everlane don't ship to Australia so you have to use a parcel forwarder which adds a fair bit to the cost of a tee ($24 shipping + $15 tee).  Maybe grab a few tees and grab your other half some items to make it more worthwhile?  I heard rumours they were working on shipping globally but not sure where that's at.

Everlane if you are reading this, are you going to start cutting the silk shirts in a XXS?  The XS was too big for me but the silk shirt was gorgeous otherwise <3

  1. I think they are looking at partnering with a parcel forwarder... Everlane contacted me to get my thoughts re my experiences using myus. Not as good as shipping o/s direct!

    1. Yeah but using a parcel forwarder doesn't even compare to shipping direct!

      What do you think of myus? I've never used them before.

  5. Great post! I'm trying to cut down shopping and plan to only buy basics for each season now. I will add Everlane to try list. Thanks for the review, especially for sizing reference. Plain tees are good to throw on a lazy day (and there are many haha)

    1. These tees have become my staple, honestly. I pretty much live in Everlane tee plus jeans combo. It makes life so easy.
