White Clothing for Men

White, from t-shirt to linen

The white t-shirt, the white shirt, and beyond

A white t-shirt and a white shirt are the two most versatile garments a man can own. They go with every colour and every type of trousers. This collection gathers white pieces from the Blankdays label across materials, so you can find the right white for each season.

Pick the right white t-shirt

  • THE T-SHIRT BRIGHT WHITE: 180 gsm GOTS-certified cotton with a regular fit. Soft, classic cotton for everyday wear and under shirts and hoodies.
  • THE TENCEL T-SHIRT WHITE: 240 gsm Tencel™ and GOTS-certified long-staple cotton. Smoother, silkier and with more drape, for wearing on its own.

A heavier white t-shirt is also less see-through, which is a common problem with thin white tees. For a slightly smarter look, the POLO PIQUE WHITE has a ribbed collar and Corozo buttons. See all t-shirts.

White shirts and linen

  • THE SHIRT WHITE: 100% Tencel™ with a button-down collar and Corozo buttons. Works for work, dinners and with jeans. See all shirts.
  • THE LINEN SHIRT WHITE and SHORT SLEEVE LINEN SHIRT WHITE: Somelos linen from Portugal. See all linen shirts.
  • THE LINEN TROUSER WHITE and THE LINEN SHORTS WHITE: relaxed fit and elastic waist for summer. See all linen trousers and linen shorts.

From other brands

Alongside the Blankdays label, you will also find off-white pieces from Rhea, such as a cardigan and trousers in wool and cashmere, a sleeveless tank from Coor and a poplin camp shirt from Universal Works.

How to keep white clothes white

Wash whites separately at 40°C. Avoid chlorine bleach, which can yellow organic cotton and Tencel™ over time. Treat deodorant marks and stains before washing, and dry in daylight when you can. See our care guide. Prefer darker colours? See our black clothing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best white t-shirt for men?

THE T-SHIRT BRIGHT WHITE is a classic 180 gsm organic cotton tee. For a heavier, less see-through option, choose THE TENCEL T-SHIRT WHITE at 240 gsm.

How do I stop a white t-shirt from turning yellow?

Wash at 40°C with other whites, avoid chlorine bleach, and let deodorant dry fully before dressing.

Is a white t-shirt see-through?

Thin white tees often are. A heavier fabric like the 240 gsm Tencel™ t-shirt is far more opaque.

What goes with white clothing?

Everything. Navy and black give contrast, beige and army olive give a softer, summer look.

Can I wear all white?

Yes, especially in summer. A white linen shirt with white linen trousers is a classic warm-weather outfit.

Which white shirt should I choose for work?

THE SHIRT WHITE in 100% Tencel™. It has a button-down collar, a regular fit and a rounded hem that works tucked in.

What shoes go with white clothes?

White sneakers for a clean, tonal look, or brown leather loafers and sandals for warmth.

Is white clothing only for summer?

No. A white shirt or t-shirt works all year, layered under a sweatshirt or hoodie in colder months.

What is the difference between bright white and off-white?

Bright white is a pure, crisp white. Off-white has a warmer, softer tone. Blankdays t-shirts come in bright white, while some pieces from other brands in this collection are off-white.

What should I wear over a white t-shirt?

A navy or black zip hoodie, an open linen shirt, or a Tencel™ shirt worn unbuttoned.
