Ugh, I hate underarm stains on shirts! I used to get that problem a lot in high school when I had practices, but if you use a deodorant that doesn’t contain aluminum it doesn’t stain. I use and Adidas one specifically for that reason, don’t know who else makes them like that, but they work for me and no more yucky stains!

I have all the same trouble with white t-shirts, and I wear them all the time. I’m glad for the tips. Thank you.

You look so cute, even when shopping for food. ^_^

YouTube is super slow sometimes, I usually let the videos load in full before trying to view them. Hopefully it’ll work for you to see it today? I anticipate your feedback.

I love white T’s and glad I’m not the only one to relegate them to the dust bin once they lose their snap. I’ve found that if I spray the underarms liberally with white vinegar before washing, it helps eliminate underarm stains. The smell washes away, of course.

I’m crazy about white Ts as well.
Luckily I found one in Target recently meeting all of your criteria. I’ll probably get one from LnA too. Wish they have that kind of design (long sleeve, fitted, and long) in all different colours as well!

Thank you so much for the stain removal tip.

I was nodding, too, just like Rachel. Your posts are always amazing!

My personal experience shows that a reasonable amount of lycra/spandex make a cotton top much better:)

Great piece of product research. I’m always looking for that perfect one too. Gap did one in spring this year so I bought two.
Useful stain remover tip too.

Great tip!
You know who makes excellent white long sleeve white waffle tees like the one you have pictured here? Forever 21! And they are only like 7 dollars

How funny that you should write about the perfect tee because I just received my first order from Nation Ltd and I have to say…they simply rock. They meet all of the criteria that you listed above; squishy soft and fitted, broken in but not sloppy — I am in love! I will have to check out LNA too…just wanted to give a shout out about my find as well

As for pit stains — I have a tip too; try panty shields – yep you heard right. Though it seems kind of gross, it works and protects your clothes!

I absolutely share your love of white shirts as well as a refusal to wear them after a certain point.. thanks for the aspirin tip. I’ll be trying that soon. Also, I think that long-sleeved is a necessity for me as well!\

Love your blog!

Wow, thanks for the tip. I am constantly recycling my white tees to use at yoga, once they get the stains. Same with white tanks, which I seem to go through like toilet paper.

I usually stay away from white shirts because they seem high maintenance, but I’m totally going to try the two aspirin trick!

Your insight about simple white tops is so true! It seems that the most basic pieces often are the most difficult to find the perfect fit. I will definitely check out your recommendation!
