"My T-shirt priorities are as follows: box-cut, generous in length and roomy sleeves that stop in the middle of the elbow and shoulder. I have lived in a white V-neck by Isabel Marant from Workshop for the past few years, which is a light cotton-linen blend, although if I was to buy another it would be The Gentlewoman's classic version in collaboration with UK heritage brand Sunspel."  Jessica Beresford, digital content producer

"If I'm in the States, I'll stock up on J Crew vintage T-shirts white, grey, navy they are a fine light cotton, with a slim fit and a nice neat sleeve. Closer to home, the Bassike white T-shirts at Superette are 100 per cent organic cotton, with a relaxed, yet shaped fit." Amanda Linnell, managing editor

"I get all my white T-shirts from Rodd & Gunn and Sunspel  both brands offer the right length and are super soft. They also utilise cotton that's finished and sourced from Italian mills and are versatile enough to wear everywhere."  Dan Ahwa, fashion editor

"I don't often wear plain white T-shirts as I still haven't figured out an appropriate bra to wear underneath, but I have two that I wear every now and then. The first is a fine, cotton jersey T-Shirt from Commoners, and the second, and preferred, a heavier V-neck cotton cashmere tee from Levi's. I'm keen to try the basic T-shirts from Kowtow too, made from organic cotton jersey."  Zoe Walker, associate editor

"Juliette Hogan does the best elevated basics that are made in New Zealand and last forever. My favourite is the Ronnie T it's made of 100 per cent linen, meaning it's breathable and soft to wear. I also can't stand T-shirts that cling and this one has just the right amount of slouch." Danielle Clausen, editorial assistant

"A basic white tee, besides maybe a grey marle tee, is one garment that practically makes up my day-to-day uniform. I love what Bassike do with their T-shirting and how they manage to get that unique, gritty texture to their 100 per cent organic cotton and the fact that they are committed to sustainable manufacturing." Rosie Kelway, writer

"I love Kowtow  it's soft, drapes beautifully and wears exceptionally well, despite my tendency to machine wash everything when you probably shouldn't! Their T-shirts and tanks have the best proportion of volume to shape that I've found, and best of all they're ethically made from organic cotton."  Rebecca Wadey, wellbeing editor
