"Ready for a little menswear blasphemy? Fantastic! Here we go. Despite all evidence to the contrary, I believe that the white T-shirt is the most inferior of all T-shirts. I know. I know. This sounds like a dumb, contrarian take designed to rile folks up. And, sure, it is that. A little bit. But it's also the truth. Granted, some very big names disagree with me."
"Earlier this month, I spoke with Glen Powell about, among other things, the infamous "wet white T-shirt scene" in Twisters and asked for his thoughts about the style in real life. "A white tee is one of those things that's the most adaptable color and style," he said. "It also depends on the brand you're wearing; not everybody looks in the same good in the same white tee. But the white tee in general, in my opinion, can dress up or down. It's a very versatile look.""
The white T-shirt is the most inferior of all T-shirts because it reveals flaws, stains easily, and stretches with wear. Celebrity examples can make a white tee appear adaptable, but those looks depend on exceptional physical attributes rather than the garment. A white tee amplifies how far a wearer is from the masculine ideal by highlighting fit and body shape. White shirts demand higher maintenance and display reduced longevity compared with darker colors. Alternatives like black, gray, or navy offer similar adaptability while masking imperfections and providing more forgiving, durable everyday wear.
