Those plain white tees you love? They’re not going anywhere, but those humble classics have been given a literal twist this spring in the form of elevated white T-shirts that have plenty more to offer than your everyday basics. To nail the vibe, opt for visually-intriguing styles that are gathered at the hem or shoulder; with asymmetric detailing or cape-like overlays. The look is less rumpled-in-the-sheets and more minimalist chic.

Styling-wise, these shirts are just as versatile as your current go-tos, pairing effortlessly with denim or relaxed suit separates for a sophisticated day-to-night ensemble. Slip them underneath a blazer or wear them as statement going-out tops, these pieces are ones you can easily rely on to add polish to your look. You can find a great example in Vogue Club’s latest Tip-Off episode, where senior market editor Madeline Fass paired Tove’s tunic top with dark-wash barrel-leg jeans and one of spring’s cult accessory buys—the Loewe Pebble bucket bag in a rich burgundy.

Ready to give your most hardworking staple a stylish upgrade? No need to twist and turn, just coast along for the elevated white T-shirts you’ll want to add to your spring capsule wardrobe.
