The One Piece You’ll Wear on Repeat: The White Tee

The One Piece You’ll Wear on Repeat

If there’s one piece that earns its place in every wardrobe — season after season, year after year — it’s the classic white t-shirt. Understated, effortless, endlessly versatile, the right tee is more than a basic. It’s a blank canvas. A foundation of personal style.

Whether you’re curating a capsule wardrobe or simply reaching for something that always works, our universal white t-shirt is the connective thread. It pairs as easily with denim as it does under soft tailoring. It balances the bold. It softens the structure. It grounds sparkle.

Here, five ways we love to wear it — styled with a few Arpinō pieces we find ourselves returning to again and again.

1. Tailored Trousers + A Statement Belt
Effortless meets elevated. Tuck your tee into a pair of work pants and finish with a bold buckle belt for a look that’s polished, but never overdone. Perfect for casual office days or impromptu dinner plans.

2. Blazer + Vintage Denim
A study in contrasts: a wool blazer layered over your tee, paired with well-worn jeans — we love the high-waisted Levi’s Ribcage — and a kitten heel. A look that doesn’t try too hard, but always stands out.

3. Silk Skirt + Sculptural Jewelry
Let texture take the lead. Wear your tee with a silk midi skirt and add sculptural gold hoop earrings. Relaxed refinement — modern, fluid, and bold.

4. Linen Shorts + A French Tuck
For warm days, try a partial tuck into a pair of linen shorts. Add Sandals, our woven tote, and the matching jacket to complete the look. Effortless and versatile — equally at home by the lake or in the city heat.

5. With an Embroidered Cotton Skirt and Sandals
A fresh take on summer femininity. Tuck your white tee into one of our embroidered cotton skirts — the crisp cotton and delicate stitching add texture and charm. Finish with Minas' favourite Hermes sandals and pared-back accessories. Effortless, breathable, and quietly beautiful — for market mornings, garden dinners, or anything in between.

The takeaway?
Sometimes, the simplest pieces become the most essential. A white tee doesn’t compete — it complements. It adapts, supports, and grounds a look with ease. And in a wardrobe built on intention, that’s exactly what we’re after.
