Don't get me wrong. I love a classic and reliable plain white tee as much as the next person, but sometimes, I like to shake it up in the white-top department. This spring, I'm seeing a whole host of white tees with unique and elevated details that are giving my jeans, skirts, and tailored trousers a fresh and fashion-forward look.

To lean into the vibe, I'm opting for visually intriguing details—such as ruching at the shoulder, asymmetric silhouettes, and cape overlays—that feel elevated and ooze a minimalist-chic aesthetic. The best part about these tops is that they will add instant polish to your look, and you can easily wear them as a statement piece into the evening, more so than you could with your average white tee.

Below, I'm sharing my favorite white tees with a twist that I'm loving for the warm season. Keep scrolling to give your hardworking staple an elegant upgrade.
