Shop →Shopbop
AGOLDE Adine Shrunken Tee

There's a reason these get mentioned in every "best white tee" roundup and it's the weight of the cotton, which feels substantial enough to wear alone but not thick enough to layer awkwardly. The two-pack format makes sense because you'll want backups once you try them.

Shop →Versed

Shop →Sephora

I towel-dry my hair, work this through the ends, and that's it. Five years in my routine because it actually repairs damage instead of just coating hair like most leave-ins do.
