This summer, I discovered that my favorite white tee — and our best boxy cropped white T-shirt — from Organic Basics was no longer available on its site. I ordered a few last-minute shirts when I noticed stock was low, but my beloved white tee officially appears to be gone for good. I’ve tried a lot of T-shirts for our best white T-shirts and best black T-shirts articles, and what made this one stand out was its fit: It has a relaxed chest, dropped shoulders with longer sleeves, and a shorter hem, which goes perfectly with high-waisted jeans or trousers and doesn’t expose any of my stomach. I also love that it’s made from a medium-weight cotton, which works well for any season. I decided to go on a hunt for a worthy replacement and tested out any tees that looked similar, including Los Angeles Apparel’s oversize cropped tee and Madewell’s boxy crop tee. Below, you’ll find all of the T-shirts I tried out, from the ones that weren’t quite right to the ones that have earned a permanent spot in my closet.
