A singlet is the plainest top you can own, which is exactly why it ends up in more outfits than anything else. What separates one that looks lazy from one that looks finished is mostly fit, fabric weight and what goes over or under it. Below are fifty ways I wear them: with denim and linen, under blazers and trench coats, with tailored shorts, satin skirts and parachute pants. They cover ribbed, cropped, satin, knitted, printed and high-neck singlets, so you'll likely find a match for the ones already in your drawer. First, though, a short section on what to check when buying one, because no amount of styling saves a bad singlet.
Strap Width, Armhole Depth and Fabric Weight
Most singlets fail for one of three reasons, and you can spot all three in the fitting room.
- Straps: they should be wide enough to cover your bra strap, or narrow enough to go with a strapless bra. The in-between width shows a sliver of bra on one side all day.
- Armholes: lift your arms and look side-on in the mirror. If the armhole shows the side of your bra or a lot of skin, it's cut too deep for everyday wear.
- Fabric: hold it up to a window. Thin jersey shows everything and twists out of shape after a few washes, while a slightly heavier cotton or a fine rib keeps its line.
Length matters too. I look for a singlet that either stays tucked when you raise your arms or ends right at the waistband for wearing loose. In-between lengths do neither job well.
1. White Singlet Top With Straight Leg Jeans
A white singlet and straight jeans is my default travel outfit, and it only works if the singlet is thick enough to be opaque. Hold it up to a window before you buy. Mid or high rise, light wash for day and dark indigo for evening. White leather sneakers, a slim belt and a structured crossbody, then hoops and sunglasses. An open cotton shirt goes over it for planes and chilly restaurants. Petites can go ankle length to show the shoes; taller frames suit full length.
2. Black Singlet Top With Wide Leg Trousers
A black singlet tucked into high-waisted wide-leg trousers looks far smarter than the sum of its parts. Cream or camel trousers turn it into a two-tone outfit; black on black makes one long line. A smooth, close-fitting singlet matters here, because a thick rib bunches under the waistband. Pointed flats or low slingbacks, a structured bag and a watch. The trousers should almost touch the shoe without dragging. A light blazer makes it office-ready.
3. Ribbed Singlet Top With Denim Shorts
For really hot days, a ribbed singlet in cream, oatmeal or muted green looks fresher with blue denim shorts than plain black or white does. I pick a relaxed, slightly longer short with room in the thigh, so a full day of walking doesn't chafe. Flat leather sandals, a woven tote and round sunglasses, plus a small pendant. Tuck it, or leave it out if it ends at the waistband. Keep an oversized linen shirt in your bag for when the sun gets strong.
4. Cropped Singlet Top With Cargo Pants
A cropped singlet with cargo pants is fitted on top and loose below, and that contrast is what gives the outfit its shape. I want the cargos at the natural waist so only a sliver of skin shows. Olive or stone pants with a black, white or rust top. Streamlined sneakers and a compact bag; nothing oversized fighting the pocket details. A cap on sunny days. If a crop feels too exposed, layer it over a longer fitted tank. Small hoops or a short chain are enough.
5. Beige Singlet Top With Linen Pants
Beige on linen is calm and cool, but pale colors in sunlight are where see-through problems start. I always check this outfit near a window and wear smooth underwear matched to my skin, never white. A beige or taupe singlet with ivory or natural linen pants, straight or softly wide. Tan slides, a woven bag and gold jewelry, with a brown belt if there are loops. Slightly different neutrals look better than an exact match. An open linen shirt adds cover.
6. Red Singlet Top With White Jeans
A red singlet with white jeans puts all the attention on the top. Go tomato, cherry or burgundy depending on how loud you want it. Straight or slightly flared white denim, thick enough that the pocket lining doesn't show. Tan sandals, a woven bag and gold accessories, plus a slim brown belt. A navy cardigan over the shoulders gives it a nautical edge, and loafers with a beige trench carry it into cooler days. A new red singlet can bleed onto white denim when damp, so I wash it on its own a couple of times first.
7. Striped Singlet Top With Navy Shorts
Stripes with navy tailored shorts read coastal without turning into a sailor costume, as long as the stripes are narrow and the shorts have a clean front. White and navy is the classic; cream and black is quieter. Loafers, sandals or low sneakers, a canvas tote and dark sunglasses. Keep jewelry subtle, since the stripes are already the pattern. If the singlet is close-fitting, choose slightly roomier shorts. A cardigan over the shoulders for breezy evenings. It's what I'd wear for a day of sightseeing.
8. Satin Singlet Top With Tailored Pants
A satin singlet softens tailored pants and turns them dressy. Wider straps and a neckline that doesn't need constant adjusting are the two things I check, because satin slides. Black, champagne or deep green, with matching or contrasting trousers. Pointed slingbacks, a compact clutch and delicate earrings. A clean tuck lets the satin drape, though a longer one can hang over slim straight pants. A fitted blazer if the neckline feels open. One shiny thing is enough. It packs smaller than a dress and does the same job.
9. High Neck Singlet Top With Midi Skirt
A high-neck singlet covers more at the chest while leaving the arms bare, and that suits a midi skirt well. Tuck it into an A-line, pleated or draped skirt. A solid black or white singlet grounds a print, and a colored top suits a neutral skirt. Low block-heel sandals, a structured bag and medium earrings. With a full skirt, the singlet has to be fitted. If you'd rather not emphasize the waist, a cropped cardigan ending above the skirt's widest point helps. Shoes that show part of the foot keep the midi length from feeling heavy.
10. Scoop Neck Singlet Top With Maxi Skirt
A scoop neck with a flowing maxi is the easiest summer pairing here. A fitted top against a moving skirt, with a plain singlet over a print or a tonal skirt for a minimal look. Flat sandals, a crossbody and a few slim bracelets, plus a wide-brim hat outdoors. Check that the hem clears the ground in the shoes you'll actually wear. If the singlet fabric is thin, add a smooth camisole underneath. Tuck it fully, or add a slim belt if the waistband needs it.
11. Black Singlet Top With Leather Pants
A plain black singlet with leather or coated pants is all about texture. Straight-leg or relaxed trousers are more comfortable and more current than skin-tight ones. Pointed ankle boots, a structured shoulder bag and earrings. All black makes a long line; a gray blazer or cream jacket adds contrast. Because the pants are loud, the singlet should have no logos or lace. A square neck adds a little structure. On a warm evening, coated denim breathes better than full faux leather.
12. White Singlet Top With Black Maxi Skirt
White singlet, black maxi skirt: about as dependable as outfits get. A fitted ribbed singlet against a straight, A-line or gathered skirt. Black flat sandals, a structured tote and bold earrings. A black belt helps if the waistband is plain. Swap white for cream and add brown accessories for a softer version. The singlet must be long enough to stay tucked when you move, so I raise my arms in the fitting room to check. A cropped denim jacket or fine cardigan in cooler weather.
13. Gray Singlet Top With Pleated Trousers
Gray singlets get dismissed as gym wear, but with well-cut pleated trousers they look quietly smart. Charcoal over lighter gray pants is tonal; heather gray with navy is softer. A fitted singlet balances the room the pleats give. Loafers, a leather belt and a work tote, with studs and a watch. An oversized blazer with the sleeves pushed up adds cover. The pleats should fall straight from the waistband; if they pull open, the trousers are too tight at the hip.
14. Halter Singlet Top With Palazzo Pants
A halter singlet with palazzo pants is fitted at the shoulders and loose below, with plenty of movement. It needs secure coverage through the bust and a neck strap that doesn't dig in after a few hours, which is the thing I check most with halters. High-waisted pants make the legs look longer. A solid black top with printed trousers, or matching colors. Platform sandals keep the wide hems off the ground. A small bag and statement earrings, no necklace. Carry a wrap or a loose linen jacket.
15. Knit Singlet Top With Linen Shorts
A knit singlet adds texture to a hot-weather outfit. Lightweight and breathable, but knitted tightly enough to cover. Tailored linen shorts in camel or olive: pleated fronts look polished, pull-on pairs look like a holiday. Leather slides, a woven bag and a watch. Tonal looks smart, while contrast shows off the knit. Tuck it or pick a length that ends at the waistband. Dry fine knit singlets flat; on a hanger, wet knit stretches downward.
16. Printed Singlet Top With Neutral Trousers
A printed singlet hands you a color palette. I pick the trousers from a shade already in the print, beige, navy or black, so the outfit looks planned. Straight or wide legs make the top look grown-up. Simple loafers or sandals and a solid bag. Skip statement accessories with a busy pattern; small earrings and a plain belt are plenty. A plain blazer in the trouser color if you want a layer. Tuck it into a high waist so the print has a frame.
17. Brown Singlet Top With Cream Jeans
Brown and cream is a warm neutral pairing that carries well past summer. A chocolate, mocha or caramel singlet with cream straight-leg jeans. Brown loafers or woven flats, ankle boots when it cools. A tan bag and gold jewelry, with a belt that matches the shoes. A fitted top suits relaxed denim; a looser singlet suits straighter jeans. A camel blazer for in-between weather. Cream sits more gently next to brown than bright white does.
18. Green Singlet Top With Beige Cargo Pants
Green with beige cargos looks practical and fresh. Forest, sage and bright leaf green each change the mood, so pick the one that suits your accessories. Relaxed but not huge pants. Cream sneakers, a compact crossbody and a cap for an active day. A fitted singlet keeps the cargo pockets from bulking up the whole shape. Tuck it and add a webbed or leather belt if you want a waist. In cool weather, add a cropped utility jacket in a neutral rather than a second green.
19. Blue Singlet Top With White Linen Pants
Blue and white looks crisp in heat. Pale blue is soft; cobalt or navy contrasts more. High-waisted white linen trousers, straight or wide, with the singlet tucked. Tan sandals, a woven tote and gold jewelry warm up the cool colors, or go pale blue accessories and white shoes for a tonal version. Check the linen for coverage in daylight. An open striped shirt on top for sun. It needs very little else.
20. Pink Singlet Top With Light Wash Jeans
A pink singlet softens light-wash jeans. Dusty rose, pale blush and bright fuchsia all work, depending on how much you want it noticed. Straight or cropped jeans with white sneakers or neutral flats, and a cream bag. With a bright pink, keep everything else quiet; a pale pink can take a patterned scarf or a colorful bag. Tuck it into high-waisted jeans or choose a waist-length singlet. A white denim jacket over it when it cools.
21. Yellow Singlet Top With Denim Midi Skirt
A yellow singlet with a denim midi skirt is cheerful and practical. Butter yellow suits light denim; mustard looks striking against a darker wash. Yellow is a hard color next to some skin tones, so I hold it under my chin in daylight before buying. A front slit for walking, the singlet tucked, a slim belt. White sneakers or tan sandals, a structured crossbody and small earrings. An open white shirt with rolled sleeves keeps the yellow showing.
22. Orange Singlet Top With Khaki Shorts
An orange singlet wakes up plain khaki shorts. I'd go burnt orange for an earthy version and bright citrus for a bold one. Flat-front tailored shorts contrast with the casual top. Tan slides, a canvas tote and tortoiseshell sunglasses, with gold earrings for warmth. Tuck fully or partly. An open cream linen shirt makes a good third layer. Never match orange shoes or a bag to it; neutrals let the top stand alone.
23. Purple Singlet Top With Gray Jeans
Purple and gray is an unexpected pair that looks quietly confident. Lavender, plum or violet with charcoal or washed gray jeans. Dark on dark is sleek, and pale lavender is gentler. Black loafers or white sneakers. A black bag anchors it, and silver suits the cool purples. Straight or relaxed jeans keep it current. With thin straps, an oversized gray blazer adds structure. Keep everything else simple so the color pairing is the point.
24. Monochrome Black Singlet Top Outfit
All black looks polished when the textures change: a ribbed cotton singlet, woven trousers, a leather bag. Without that, it looks flat. A fitted black singlet with wide-leg trousers, a midi skirt or straight black jeans. Loafers or sleek boots, then silver or gold earrings for one bright point. Tuck the top or add a belt. In heat, show some ankle or foot to lighten it, and a linen blazer keeps the single color. Black singlets fade fastest of all, so I wash them inside out and cold.
25. Monochrome White Singlet Top Outfit
All white looks fresh when every piece is opaque and has some structure. A white ribbed singlet with ivory trousers or a maxi skirt; mixing whites keeps it from looking like a uniform. Cream loafers or white sneakers, and a tan or woven bag for a little contrast. Underwear should match your skin, never bright white, which shows through. Gold warms it, silver cools it. A white shirt or blazer as a layer. For travel I choose washable fabrics, because white shows every coffee drip.
26. Singlet Top With Oversized Blazer And Jeans
An oversized blazer gives a singlet and jeans immediate structure. A fitted white or black singlet and straight jeans in a medium or dark wash. The blazer should look relaxed but still sit on your shoulders, not slide off them. Push the sleeves up. Loafers, low heels or sneakers, a structured bag and simple earrings. Tuck the singlet and add a belt. Petites usually look best in a blazer that ends at the upper thigh; taller frames can go longer.
27. Singlet Top With Linen Shirt And Shorts
A linen shirt over a singlet gives sun cover without the heat. A fitted white or black singlet, tailored shorts or clean cutoffs, and an oversized shirt in white, sage or a narrow stripe. Wear it open with the sleeves rolled once or twice. Flat sandals, a woven tote and sunglasses. The shorts should show below the shirt so it doesn't read as a short dress. A close singlet avoids bulk under the loose layer, and you can tie the shirt loosely at the waist.
28. Singlet Top With Cardigan And Trousers
A singlet under a cardigan with trousers covers you from a hot street to a cold office. A smooth fitted singlet with high-waisted straight or wide trousers, then a fine-knit cardigan worn buttoned, open or over the shoulders. Tonal cream and camel look refined, while black trousers ground a bright cardigan. Loafers or ballet flats and a medium bag. With wide trousers, keep the cardigan at the waistband or upper hip; longer cardigans suit narrow pants. Lightweight knit only, so nothing bulks at the shoulders.
29. Singlet Top With Denim Jacket And Maxi Skirt
A denim jacket adds a little toughness to a soft singlet and maxi skirt, and it's the layer I pack for spring trips. A fitted neutral singlet, a printed or solid skirt, and a cropped or waist-length jacket so the tucked waist stays visible. Flat sandals, sneakers or ankle boots change the season. A crossbody that sits above the skirt's widest part. Light-wash denim with pastels, darker denim with rich colors. With a strong print, keep the top and jacket plain, and leave the jacket open.
30. Singlet Top With Trench Coat And Jeans
A trench makes a singlet wearable in mild spring and autumn weather. A white, black or striped singlet, straight jeans and a beige or navy trench left open. Loafers or ankle boots add seasonal weight. A structured tote and a slim belt. Keep the singlet tucked so it still looks finished when the coat comes off indoors. With a long, loose trench, wear narrower jeans; cropped jeans and loafers show the ankle, which stops a long coat from swamping you. A light scarf for warmth.
31. Singlet Top With Suit And Sneakers
A singlet makes a matching suit friendlier for daytime and creative offices. An opaque, fitted top in white, black or a color that complements the suit. Clean leather sneakers take away some formality. A structured tote, a watch and small earrings. Tuck it fully and keep the waistband smooth. Muted blue, green or rust suits look more distinctive than neutrals. Check how your workplace feels about thin straps before you wear one; I keep the blazer on in meetings. The suit still has to fit at the shoulders, even worn open.
32. Singlet Top With Pencil Skirt And Blazer
Singlet, pencil skirt and blazer is a sharp, simple outfit. Wide straps and an opaque fabric. Tuck it into a high-waisted skirt that lets you walk and doesn't pull across the hips. An open blazer keeps a long vertical line. Pointed flats, slingbacks or loafers, a top-handle bag and one piece of jewelry. Black, navy and camel feel professional, and a colored singlet brightens them. Knee length or just below. Nothing so tight that you notice it by lunchtime.
33. Singlet Top With Joggers And Denim Jacket
A singlet with tapered joggers and a denim jacket is a comfortable travel outfit that still looks dressed. Joggers in smooth knit or woven fabric, not old sleepwear. All black underneath lets a blue denim jacket stand out. Streamlined sneakers, a crossbody and small hoops, with the jacket sleeves pushed up. Olive or navy joggers with a cream singlet for more color. The cuffs should sit neatly above the shoes. A cap for errands, minimal logos. It's my airport outfit.
34. Singlet Top With Leggings And Button Down Shirt
A long button-down turns a singlet and leggings into something you can wear out of the house. A fitted black singlet, high-rise leggings in thick matte fabric, then an oversized white or striped shirt left open. It should cover part of the hips without swallowing you. Supportive sneakers, a roomy tote and sunglasses. Crew socks look sporty, no-show socks look sleek. Do up one or two middle buttons for some waist. Thin leggings go see-through when you bend, so I do a squat test in the fitting room.
35. Athletic Singlet Top With Bike Shorts
An athletic singlet and bike shorts make a base for walking, light exercise or a long casual day. Moisture-wicking fabric with enough stretch. A longer singlet skims the waistband, while a cropped one needs high-rise shorts. Supportive sneakers, crew socks, a light zip jacket and a belt bag, plus a cap and sunglasses outdoors. Black or navy shorts with a bright top, or one neutral for both. Check that the shorts stay opaque when you bend. Tie a shirt around your waist for afterward.
36. Singlet Top With Tennis Skirt And Sneakers
A fitted singlet and pleated tennis skirt are easy to move in, and built-in shorts are essential. A white skirt suits a pastel or dark singlet; a black skirt suits bright tops. Low sneakers, ankle socks and a small crossbody. A cardigan over the shoulders softens the sporty look. Small studs or hoops that won't catch. The singlet should tuck in or meet the waistband without bunching. With a very short skirt, a slightly longer top or an open shirt balances it.
37. Singlet Top With Bermuda Shorts And Loafers
Bermudas and loafers give a basic singlet a tailored direction. The shorts should end around the knee and sit smoothly through the waist and hips. A fitted black, white or ribbed singlet balances the longer, straighter shorts. Leather loafers, a slim belt, a structured bag and gold or silver earrings. A light blazer for work-ish settings, an open linen shirt for weekends. Petites often look better in a slightly shorter Bermuda. Tuck the singlet fully and keep the shoes sleek, or the long shorts cut the leg.
38. Singlet Top With Capri Pants And Slingbacks
Capris with slingbacks have a retro, polished shape. Fitted or straight capris, ending well below the knee; on most legs I prefer a hem just above the ankle, since mid-calf can cut the leg at its widest point. A ribbed singlet tucked smoothly. Slingbacks show some foot and balance the cropped hem. A structured bag, narrow sunglasses and small statement earrings, plus a scarf tied to the bag for a little pattern. With black capris, a red or blue singlet has impact. A cropped cardigan if you want a layer.
39. Singlet Top With Flared Jeans And Platform Sandals
A fitted singlet with flared jeans gives a balanced shape: a defined waist and volume below the knee. A square-neck, ribbed or halter singlet adds structure up top. Platform sandals or wedges keep the hems off the ground. A compact shoulder bag, hoops and a simple belt. White is the classic; rust or green feel more personal. The jeans should almost cover the shoes. Add a cropped jacket that ends at the waistband, never a long coat that hides the waist.
40. Singlet Top With Distressed Jeans And Heels
Distressed jeans look more grown-up with a smooth singlet and proper shoes. I'd pick controlled rips over heavy shredding. A black, white or satin-finish singlet contrasts with the rough denim. Pointed pumps or low sandals and a structured bag, plus a tailored blazer to sharpen it. Hoops or one chain. Straight or relaxed distressed jeans balance better than very tight ones. Tuck and belt. Rips grow with every wash, so I wash distressed denim inside out on a gentle cycle.
41. Lace Trim Singlet Top With Satin Midi Skirt
A lace-trim singlet with a satin midi skirt is delicate enough that it barely needs accessories. Subtle lace edging rather than big sheer panels, and straps that actually hold. A softly draped skirt in black, champagne or a muted jewel tone. Slingback flats or low heels, a small bag and small earrings. A fine cardigan or tailored blazer for cover. Tuck carefully so the lace lies flat. A denim jacket and flats make it casual. Lace trim snags on rough edges, so I wash these in a mesh bag.
42. Crochet Singlet Top With Linen Maxi Skirt
A crochet singlet with a linen maxi is all natural texture, and it's the outfit I'd pack for a beach town. Choose a lined top, or wear a plain camisole underneath. Cream, tan or soft coastal colors. Flat leather sandals, a woven tote and simple wooden or metal jewelry. An elastic or drawstring waist keeps it relaxed; a structured waistband looks more polished. Keep the top fitted or tucked so the two pieces don't look shapeless. Only one crochet item. A wide-brim hat and a light shirt for sun.
43. Button Front Singlet Top With A-Line Skirt
A button-front singlet adds a small detail to an A-line skirt. Working buttons feel casual, while decorative ones give a smoother front. A neutral top with a printed skirt, or a colored singlet with a solid denim or linen skirt, tucked in. Ballet flats or low sandals, a small bag and earrings. Keep the buttons done up unless it's designed to open, and check for gaping between buttons at the bust before you buy. With a full skirt, choose a close-fitting singlet. A cropped cardigan for cover.
44. Square Neck Singlet Top With Tailored Shorts
A square neck frames the collarbones and gives a straight upper edge, so tailored shorts look crisp with it and you need very little jewelry. A black, cream or striped top with high-rise pleated or flat-front shorts. Slingback flats or loafers, a compact bag and a slim belt. Broad shoulders look softer with wider straps and a slightly rounded square neck. A light blazer or cardigan worn open. Keep the singlet tucked, and make sure the shorts have room through the thigh.
45. Racerback Singlet Top With Parachute Pants
A racerback singlet and parachute pants play fitted against oversized. High-rise pants with adjustable hems let you control how they fall over the shoes. Chunky sneakers suit very full pants, slimmer ones suit less volume. A belt bag or small shoulder bag, plus a cropped bomber or windbreaker. Keep the singlet plain and supportive, since the racerback is already a strong line. Black, gray or olive are easiest; a bright singlet makes a focal point. Small earrings and sunglasses.
46. Graphic Singlet Top With Black Jeans
A graphic singlet works when everything else is plain. Black straight or relaxed jeans give the print a clean background. Ankle boots, canvas sneakers or loafers, depending on the graphic's mood. A black crossbody and minimal jewelry. A partial tuck suits an oversized top; a fitted one can go under a denim jacket or open overshirt. Don't combine big prints, logos and statement accessories. I repeat one color from the graphic in the shoes or bag, and I wash printed singlets inside out so the print doesn't crack.
47. Floral Singlet Top With White Shorts
A floral singlet and white shorts keep the focus on the print. Tailored cotton, linen or clean denim shorts, depending on how polished you want it. I pull one color from the flowers into a bag, earrings or a hair scarf. Neutral sandals and a woven tote. With a big colorful floral, add no other patterns; a tiny floral can take a striped cardigan. Tuck into a high waist. Check white shorts in daylight for opacity and wear smooth skin-tone underwear.
48. Embellished Singlet Top With Wide Leg Jeans
An embellished singlet dresses up wide-leg jeans without making them uncomfortable. Keep the details controlled: beads along the neckline, metallic straps or small embroidery. Dark or clean medium-wash denim, with the top tucked to show the waistband. Pointed flats, low heels or sleek boots and a solid bag. Skip necklaces. A plain blazer frames the embellishment. Pick jeans that fall smoothly rather than pooling. I wash beaded tops by hand, never in a full machine load.
49. Longline Singlet Top With Slim Pants
A longline singlet covers the hips and suits slim or straight pants. It should skim the body, not cling or flare at the hem. Black leggings, ponte pants or narrow trousers. Loafers, pointed flats or ankle boots and a structured tote. If it looks shapeless, an open cropped jacket or a long necklace adds a vertical line. Side slits help it fall over the hips. Don't pair a long singlet with equally loose pants unless oversized is the plan. One color top to bottom looks the most streamlined.
50. Layered Singlet Top With Sheer Blouse And Trousers
A fitted singlet is the best base under a sheer or semi-sheer blouse. Match it to your skin, the blouse or the trousers, depending on how visible you want it to be. Tailored wide or straight trousers with both tops tucked. Loafers, pointed flats or low heels, a structured bag and small earrings. I line up the singlet straps with the blouse's shoulder seams so they don't show as extra lines. Monochrome looks refined; a contrast singlet makes the transparency the point.
Packing Singlets for a Week Away
Singlets are the best travel top I know: light, quick to dry and happy under almost every layer in this post. For a week of warm weather, this is what I'd pack.
- Three singlets: one white, one black and one color that suits your face.
- Three bottoms: straight jeans, linen trousers and a midi or maxi skirt.
- Two layers: an open linen shirt and a light blazer or denim jacket.
- Two pairs of shoes: flat sandals and white sneakers or loafers.
Every singlet goes with every bottom, so that's nine outfits before you add a layer. Rinse one in the sink at night and a cotton blend or fine rib is usually dry by morning. Roll them rather than fold them; ribbed knits crease less that way.
Why White Singlets Turn Yellow Under the Arms
Those yellow underarm marks come from sweat mixing with antiperspirant, and heat sets them. Let antiperspirant dry before you dress, wash white singlets soon after wearing instead of leaving them for days, and keep them out of a hot dryer until the marks are gone, because heat can make them permanent. A white singlet that's already badly yellowed is often cheaper to replace than to rescue.
How Many Outfits a Plain Singlet Really Covers
A singlet goes with nearly everything because it's so simple; the outfit comes from what you balance it with. Fitted singlets go with wide pants and full skirts, and longer ones with slim trousers and leggings. Shoes, one layer and one or two accessories decide whether it looks finished. Choose opaque fabric, straps that cover your bra and a neckline you don't have to keep adjusting. Then start with what you own: two singlets and the bottoms already in your closet will give you more outfits than you'd expect.
