A basic white T-shirt is a wardrobe hero. It’s the perfect base for many outfits and can be worn independently. I know you don’t need me to tell you how great a white T-shirt is, but if you’re looking for some spring outfit ideas with one, this post is for you.

White T-Shirt: Six Ways
My Sizing: I’m 4’10”, and my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 32″, 24″, and 36″. My inseam is 25″ (the measurement from the inside of my leg to my ankle bone). The clothes shown are unaltered and show how they fit me right from the store. I list my sizing beside each item to help you compare when shopping online. When referencing my true size that is often the smallest option available at a brand or petite xxs/00/24. I wear a size 5 shoe.
Madewell Supima Rib Tee
For this post, I have chosen a slim white T-shirt from Madewell. This one is stretchy and ribbed with short sleeves. This style is one of the most versatile because it can be easily dressed up and down. I’m wearing it in XXS and it fits me well. It’s not see-through if you wear nude undergarments. Here are six ways I would wear it:
With a Skirt
This is one of those spring outfits that’s elevated casual but so comfortable! I love a floaty midi skirt for spring. It’s all the comfort of a dress or skirt without worrying that something is popping out if you bend over. I think it’s a great accompaniment to a simple white T-shirt. Fit notes on the sandals: You’ll want to size up if you’re between sizes; they run narrow and small.

To Work
The style of this shirt makes it easy to dress up for work. I paired it with a white blazer and wide-leg trousers (both of which are true to size). If you’re my height (4’10”), you’ll want to grab a pair of heels to wear these pants un-hemmed. I’m wearing a 3″ heel with them for reference.

With Jeans
A simple t-shirt and jeans outfit will never go out of style (although the style of your jeans may change). I love that this particular t-shirt easily tucks into high-rise jeans. I’m wearing Abercrombie’s ’90s High Rise Straight Jeans here in extra short.

With Shorts
J.Crew brought back my favorite denim shorts for two years running. Out of all the shorts I have this is the pair I reach for the most often. They’re comfortable and a great length overall. This pair is brand new so the hem hasn’t frayed yet, but it will with wash and wear. If you want to see the shorts styled other ways (and how they fray), check out last year’s spring capsule wardrobe post.

With Joggers
This top is just as easy to dress down as it is to dress up. I’m wearing it here with my favorite joggers from Athleta. They have the best fit all around and are a lightweight fabric that will work through the spring.

With a Linen Set
I’ve tried a few linen sets; this one from J.Crew has had the best fit. I anticipate more options coming up through the season, so keep checking back if this isn’t an option for you. Sizewise, I would size down in the shorts, they run large. The top is true to size, I’m wearing it in Petite XXS.
