If you were to quickly rattle off the basics most women have in their closets, a white tee would undoubtedly top the list. And rightfully so: it’s one of the most versatile items you can own. Plus, while there are certainly expensive iterations out there, the perfect tee can literally cost just $5. Seriously. We can’t get enough of the classic $5 Hanes T-shirt — it’s super-soft and the cut is incredibly flattering. Already have this must-have in your arsenal and looking for creative new ways to style it this season? Just turn to your favorite celebs for inspiration. We found nine fashionable ways celebrities are wearing classic white T-shirts right now. Sure, the It-girls coming your way are wearing a variety of different brands, but the idea is still there— any basic white tee (including the Hanes style!) can be the anchor to any stylish look.
Karlie Kloss: Want to dress up your white tee? Style it with sophisticated black trousers and pointed-toe pumps. While Kloss went for an unexpected white moto jacket for a night out, a crisp blazer works just as well if you want to test this out at the office. (Photo via Gilbert Carrasquillo/Getty)
Victoria Beckham: You can’t get any more posh than Beckham's chill yet polished look. Here, it’s all about the accessories: a pair of colorful pumps and eye-catching add-ons like her choker and signature oversized sunnies makes this classic jeans-and-tee look anything but standard.

Whitney Port: This stylish ensemble — white tee, moto jacket combo, frilly copped trousers — is so effortlessly cool. And instead of opting for standard black shoes, Port took it one step further with vibrant red flats. So unexpected! (Photo via BG002/Bauer-Griffin/Getty)
Hailey Baldwin: For a cool, laid-back ensemble, try Baldwin’s layered look. She tossed a statement denim jacket and skirt over her classic white tee. A pair of very-right-now combat boots completed the look. (Photo via Gotham/Getty)
Jasmine Tookes: This is basically the outfit we want to live in right now: A white tee, cropped jeans, and slides. To transition the outfit into fall, replace the sandals with booties, and toss on a gorgeous trench coat. So chic. (Photo via SMXRF/Star Max/Getty)
Kim Kardashian West: If you want to go the athleisure route, do it the Kardashian way and wear your favorite white T-shirt with leggings and a coordinating jacket. While you could go for sneakers here, a pair of heels (like Kardashian West is wearing) elevates the overall vibe (literally). (Photo via Raymond Hall/Getty)
Kaia Gerber: The ultimate model-off-duty vibe. While running between runway shows, Gerber paired her tee with a trend-forward patent trench, and completed the ensemble with dark-wash denim and black boots. Her tiny square sunnies makes the outfit even more “2018.” (Photo via Pierre Suu/Getty)
Priyanka Chopra: On the hunt for an easy T-shirt look to wear for casual Friday? Keep this outfit idea in your back pocket. Chopra styled a tee with a crisp cream blazer and straight-leg jeans, and finished the outfit with smart accessories, including a printed tote and pumps. (Photo via TheStewartofNY/Getty)
Olivia Culpo: Play around with your accessories to upgrade your jeans-and-tee ensemble. Culpo went for on-trend white booties, along with a matching white chain bag and unique belt. (Photo via Marc Piasecki/Getty)
