What is Perfect White Tee?
Breaking ground on National White T-Shirt Day on February 11, 2020, Perfect White Tee is a clothing brand co-founded by New York City-based business owners, Lisa Hickey and Jen Menchaca, two esteemed lovers of tees who wear them every day!
Together, the pair has more than 30 years in the fashion business. Jen Menchaca previously founded a successful t-shirt business while Lisa Hickey owns a multi-line New York City showroom as well as three retail stores that offer upscaled basics for women.
When the two friends decided to start Perfect White Tee in 2020, it was to fill a hole in the fashion world by creating a basics brand that offers year-round clothing pieces that people can buy to restock their wardrobes, no matter the time or season.
What is Perfect White Tee’s Philosophy?
Perfect White Tee provides clothing that is “made to be lived in,” and every piece is handmade and, well… perfected in its family owned and operated factory in California, USA. Attention to detail in every piece of clothing is essential to making basics that people will consistently wear day in and day out.
What Kinds of Products Does Perfect White Tee Offer?
The Essentials: Everyday Styles to Add to Your Wardrobe
When building your wardrobe, it’s important to find those essential wardrobe pieces that can be worn as stand-alone pieces, or can serve as layering pieces depending on the time of day, the occasion and the yearly season.
Some of Perfect White Tee’s essential clothing pieces include the Blondie Tank Top, a structured, bra-friendly ribbed tank top that can be worn in so many ways – and in so many colors, too! Another essential wardrobe item is the Sheryl Tee, a recycled cotton baby tee that can either be casual or chic, depending on your mood and accessory pairings.
Perfect White Tee offers other basics, including v neck t-shirts, long sleeved t-shirts, crew neck pullovers and more, and all in a variety of neutral colors that will go with anything. The results are just what the name suggests: “essential” pieces that can be fitted into your wardrobe to cater to your own personal style.
Tops: Minimalist Style At Its Best
Perfect White Tee isn’t just your everyday t-shirt brand. When it comes to providing the basics, they quite literally provide ALL of the basics. That’s why, when offering their selection of “mindfully manufactured” pieces, they don’t stop short at a simple t-shirt.
This artful clothing brand features not only short sleeved shirts, long sleeved shirts, crop tops, sweatshirts and more, but offers them in a myriad of fabrics that cater to your mood and style preference. From varying degrees of cotton (such as ribbed cotton, recycled cotton or crispy cotton) to terry cloth, fleece, blends and speciality fabrics, your new minimalist wardrobe will truly be anything but – and in the best way possible!
Bottoms: Something to Match Your Perfect White Tee
The world of basics is not contained to simply tops. That’s why Perfect White Tee is committed to clothing you with all of the basics your wardrobe needs. Whether it’s a great pair of leggings, a comfortable pair or shorts or sweatpants – even denim! – Perfect White Tee will ensure that your capsule wardrobe is one that’s perfectly well-rounded to keep you comfortable and stylish all throughout the week.
Lounge: Comfortable Basics for Lounging at Home
We can’t have a curated basics brand without a preferred collection of loungewear for when we’re off duty. Perfect White Tee takes ‘basics’ to a whole new level, being prepared to clothe every single part of you with well-made intimates and luxurious sleepwear that can be worn on those days when you just want to relax, or those nights when all you really want is a good night’s sleep (which… let’s face it, is every night!). You’re not going to want to miss what Perfect White Tee has to offer in this department, we guarantee it!
Dresses: Not Your Average T-Shirt Dress
For those days when you want to dress a little nicer, but still be perfectly comfortable, Perfect White Tee gives you a delightful selection of dresses that check the minimalist box, but that are versatile enough to be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. Truly, Perfect White Tee puts a whole new meaning behind the casual t-shirt dress!
Men’s: Trusted Basics for Everyday
Perfect White Tee also caters to the gentlemen with their uniquely basic selection of t-shirts, pullovers and sweatpants. Offering calming neutral colors in fantastic fabrics that can be worn all day long, Perfect White Tee is making great strides when it comes to fashionable menswear that’s also incredible comfortable!
What Makes Perfect White Tee Stand Out As a Clothing Brand?
Because many clothing brands don’t offer basics as part of a separate collection, and because other brands only offer certain styles (like short sleeved shirts as opposed to long sleeved shirts) during select seasons out of the year, the desire to create a brand that offers every type of basic you could possibly want all year long was a primary goal for Lisa Hickey and Jen Menchaca.
In addition, Lisa and Jen are committed to excellence in the design and manufacturing of their items, ensuring that all of their pieces are produced right here in the United States while passing their high standards of quality and care. The result is a collection of clothing that doesn’t just last one season before falling apart, but an entire wardrobe of items that will last for a very long time. Because let’s face it: basics never go out of style!
Why We Love Perfect White Tee
As a modern bohemian boutique, you might think that choosing the basics isn’t really our prime objective. The reason why that isn’t true, however, is because even the most fantastical items in a gypsy-hippie’s wardrobe still need those trusted basics to help enhance their unique look. We believe that basics are meant to add to a person’s individual style, not take away from it. That’s why we love Perfect White Tee!
