Well-fitted classic T-shirts

You can be very comfortable with a white T-shirt made of organic cotton.

The trick is to pick one in exactly the right size because if it is oversized, your whole appearance can be bulky. If too tight, then it will no longer feel comfortable to wear.

We have a list of awesome sustainable brand recommendations here.

Basic tank tops

Cotton tank tops are another great option if you have comfort in mind. Just apply the same tips from above and get the right size for your body!

Match your shirt's white or choose a different color for a relaxed look.

Summing up

Our selection of clothing items that you can wear under see-through shirts is based on both practicality and attractiveness. Of course, some of the undergarments may lean one way or another and the final decision is in your hands.

Where you go is always crucial. If it is a professional environment, make sure to follow their dress code and wear an attire that is not very revealing.
If, on the other hand, you are headed to a more relaxed environment, then you have more freedom in your choices.

The best general advice for putting together a flawless outfit that starts with your sheer white shirt is to choose clothes that you like, that make you feel great, and also to make sure that your movement is not restricted.

When you feel beautiful, you exude confidence and that is reflected in your work and interpersonal relationships. In order to do so, buy clothes that are both flattering and practical, always in the right size for you.

In addition to that, pay close attention to the fabrics that come in contact with your skin - this is very important for your long-term health, so being a mindful consumer and always buying eco-friendly and sustainable clothes helps both the environment and yourself.
