Cool White T-shirts for Summer

Next to blue jeans and Chuck Taylors, there's nothing quite as all-American as the humble white T-shirt. How can I not love it? It's versatile, it's cool, and it's a piece that's able to be worn any day of the year, in any season.

 

That said, there's something about summer that makes the white tee especially necessary, as it can anchor statement pieces such as wildly-printed shorts or colored jeans, add a casual element to silky, beaded, or even sequin skirts, or simply just convey a sense of summer ease with a pair of blue denim cutoff shorts or a basic pair of overalls.
