The Best White T-Shirts to Wear With High-Waisted Jeans

As you know, not all white T-shirts are created equal, and going through life with just one would be nearly impossible, in our opinion. Today we're addressing the best white T-shirts to wear with high-waisted jeans (something that you probably wear if you're reading this).
First of all, knowing which T-shirt styles to avoid when wearing high-waisted jeans is helpful. Since you want to show the waistband of your jeans (otherwise, what's the point?), skip white T-shirts that are oversize and ones made of thick fabric. Instead, look for fitted styles that are easy to tuck, and cropped, boxy styles you won't need to tuck in but that won't expose too much midriff.
Now you know what to look for, but we took it a step further and chose 21 white T-shirts that are worthy of your favorite high-waisted jeans. Shop them below.
