About William Brown

In a May 2025 interview, William Brown, Group President of United States & Canada at Marriott, discussed his personal style, noting that he has been known for wearing white t-shirts since at least 2012. Brown stated that he has worn white t-shirts since his days as a DJ, explaining that he thinks "they look clean and they're just normal" and can be paired with jeans or various footwear. He mentioned that he buys the shirts at H&M and said "nothing wrong with that, don't judge me" when a lunch companion pointed out the brand. Brown recounted an incident from around 2012 when he was wearing a black t-shirt and someone asked him "Where's the white t-shirt — I've never seen you not wearing a white t-shirt." He also suggested that his wardrobe could be the subject of an advertisement, comparing it to Tai Lopez's "here in my garage" format, saying "you could be like 'here in my closet, only white shirts.'"

You've become known to be like the white shirt guy. When we were at lunch, she said you buy them at H&M. Nothing wrong with that. Don't judge me. Was that a conscious choice, or did you just start wearing them and people started realizing it?

Dude, I've been wearing white t-shirts right back to the DJ days. Like, I was once wearing a black t-shirt and I was walking through my hometown with this girl, and I bumped into some other girl, and she was like, 'Where's the white t-shirt? I've never seen you not wearing a white t-shirt.' This was like 2012 or something. I just think they look clean, and they're just normal. You can wear jeans with them, you can wear nice shoes or not nice shoes.

You should make an ad about that, you know, like how Tai Lopez used to have 'Here in my garage.' You could be like, 'Here in my closet, only white shirts.' And then you obviously have to somehow connect it to the offer, but that would be an interesting hook.
