the perfect holiday
the perfect holiday
tl;dr
our perfect holiday gift guide is live. shop california-made pieces that feel like home: sweatshirts, tees, sets, and everything under $100 that just confirm how perfect you already are.
the season of soft
some holidays feel loud. this one doesn’t have to.
we’re here for the quiet mornings, the late flights home, the kind of gifting that feels more like a home than a headline.
“holiday shopping” usually means chaos, but we built this collection so you can skip that part. every piece, from ziggy to johnny, is designed locally in boyle heights, california. brushed cotton fleece, classic ribbed knits, soft jersey. nothing overthought, everything done right.
these are the gifts that don’t need wrapping paper to feel special. the ones you throw in a tote and somehow still nail it.
gifts that feel like home
we call them basics, but they’re anything but. every sweatshirt, every tee, every tank was made to live in… and more importantly, to actually be worn.
this isn’t about gifting trends that expire in january. this is about building a closet that works twelve months a year. our holiday gift guide is full of pieces that find their way into every routine: cozy enough for mornings on the couch, refined enough for dinner out, timeless enough for next december too.
think ziggy: cropped just right, a little boxy, a little bold. the one you’ll see on everyone from the friend who swears she doesn’t care about clothes to the one who’s somehow always “accidentally” on trend.
pair it with johnny. ankle-length sweatpant, relaxed through the leg, the uniform of those who know that comfort is the real luxury.
and if you’re gifting for someone who prefers something lighter, our t-shirt collection is the definition of “everyday elevated.” easy fits, california cotton, the kind of weight and drape that only gets better after a few washes.
for her. the classics she’ll actually wear.
we’ve all been there. gifting something that looks great for five minutes and disappears forever.
not this year.
this is the season of forever favorites: soft sweatshirts, worn-in tees, and easy sets that outlast every trend.
for something lighter, our women’s tees and tank tops are timeless staples that work every season. gift one, gift three: they’re the definition of “can’t go wrong.”
for him... or the one who keeps stealing yours.
we didn’t mean to make unisex basics. it just kind of happened.
wilder started as his sweatshirt, but the lines blurred fast. same soft california fleece, slightly broader cut, equally irresistible. for cozy holiday gifts that hit right every time, this is the one.
our men’s collection keeps things simple: clean silhouettes, quality fabric, zero overthinking. pieces that move easily from early flights to late-night dinners, made to be borrowed, lived in, and inevitably shared.
so whether you’re shopping gifts for her, him, or whoever ends up wearing it most, the rule’s the same.
if it feels this good, it’s fair game.
small batch. big heart.
a lot of “sustainable” brands love to say it. we actually live it.
our entire supply chain lives within a few blocks of downtown los angeles. yarn, fabric, cutting, sewing, finishing. it all happens close enough that we can walk between steps. fewer miles, less waste, tighter control, and more intention.
this means when you shop california-made basics from perfectwhitetee, you’re giving more than just a gift. you’re supporting a circular, local ecosystem of makers. every piece passes through hands that actually care how it feels when you pull it on.
and because we only produce what makes sense, we avoid overbuying, overstocking, and overhyping. keep it small, keep it special.
call it sustainability, call it common sense. we just call it good design.
gifts under $100 that don’t feel underwhelming
we get it: you’ve got a list, and you’re not trying to max out a card.
that’s why so many of our staples land comfortably under $100 without ever feeling like a compromise.
our long sleeve tops and cropped tanks make thoughtful gifts that still leave room for a bottle of wine or your go-to candle.
for cozy holiday gifts that hit that just-right balance between luxe and low-key, you can’t miss with a sweatshirt. especially ziggy, the one customers keep buying “just in case” and somehow end up keeping.
and if you’re still not sure what they’ll love most, let them choose. a perfectwhitetee gift card always fits. no sizes, no guessing, just instant proof you get it.
style it your way
there’s no wrong way to gift comfort. but if you’re looking for inspiration, start here: complete looks pulled straight from our gifts that look good together edit. these sets were made to mix, match, and make mornings easier.
the classic set
the one everyone ends up living in. shrunken crew, relaxed pant. easy, timeless, perfectly california.
the off-duty edit
a little relaxed, a little structured. pair them together for the kind of “i didn’t try” energy that somehow looks pulled together every time.
the velour upgrade
plush velour that layers with iconic chic. ideal for gifting someone who lives in tees but deserves an upgrade.
the weekend pair
for the one who’s always on the go. oversized, unisex, and built for movement. technically “his,” but we know how that goes.
the minimalist’s match
sleek. tonal. understated. the kind of duo that works just as well at brunch as it does on the couch.
the perfect holiday wardrobe isn’t about brand-new outfits. it’s about new ways to wear what already works.
made to mean something
behind every stitch is intention. our founders, jen and lisa, built perfectwhitetee as an answer to a question most of us didn’t realize we were asking: why does no one make basics that actually feel good?
their solution wasn’t complicated: make everything locally, source the best cotton, and design shapes that actually make sense on real bodies. keep it slow. keep it small. keep it honest.
so when you give perfectwhitetee, you’re not just giving clothes. you’re giving thoughtfulness. you’re giving something that feels like home.
faq

yes. explore our under $100 favorites. timeless cotton tees, cropped tanks, and soft layers that won’t blow your budget.
the part worth giving
the best gifts aren’t loud. they don’t sparkle or shout. they just fit. like the sweatshirt she won’t stop wearing or the tee he keeps “borrowing.”
this season isn’t about more. it’s about meaning. small gestures, slow mornings, soft fabrics that somehow say everything without a single word.
give something that feels like that. made in california, made to last, made for whoever’s on your list (including you).
you are perfect.
