Not Button-Downs, Not Blazers—The Surprising Piece Fashion People Are Turning to This Fall
Hint: you probably already own several.
The humble piece celebrities and fashion people alike can't stop reaching for this fall is one I guarantee you already own: the T-shirt.
Before you decide you've heard this one before, hear me out. T-shirts are having a major moment—just not in the way you'd expect. It's not just about a single perfect white T-shirt this time (although I would love to break those down for you another day). Now, T-shirts are showing up in cool new ways—sold pre-layered, with eye-catching stripes and color blocking.
I never really needed to "get into" this trend, since my style has always leaned tomboy. I wear one every day, in one form or another—so consider this guide from an insider. Ahead, I'm breaking down my favorites by category: layered, raglan, striped, and graphic.
Layered Tees
A no-brainer staple, especially at this price point.
A less structured take on the trend.
Technically a sweater, but this still gives layered T-shirt vibes with some added warmth. The colors are also so satisfying.
With some low-slung jeans and oversized black sunglasses, this shirt is a winner.
A more subtle foray into the double-layered look.
The contrasting stripes are a yes in my book.
Raglan Tees
I recently saw a very stylish coworker in this top and immediately added it to my cart.
Cou Cou intimates can do no wrong. The cut of this shirt is perfection.
Chocolate and baby blue is one of my favorite color combos.
Making me want a strawberry lemonade.
I'd wear this with a creamy jean and dark brown belt with brown accessories for a model-off-duty look.
Striped Tees
The hint of pink and slightly flared sleeves make this stand out.
Can we talk about how chic this removable scarf is?
Styling the blue-on-blue striped tee with even more blue with the bag and denim is an expert move.
This looks exactly like a vintage tee I would overpay for in Paris.
Another subdued stripe. Loving the hint of baby blue.
Bell sleeves are just precious to me. I'd style this with a creamy pair of denim pants and an oxblood belt, like this one from Déhanche.
Living for the pop of red on the collar.
Well done in every way.
Into the contrasting stripe detail.
Bateau necks for the win!
These colors are lovely together.
A fresh and structured take on a typical tee.
Graphic Tees
A cheeky phrase will always win my heart over.
Just wait until you see the back.
This is as close to sports as I'll get.
Okay, I lied, this is as close to sports as I'll get.
This shirt makes me want to book a vacation.
Picturing this worn with a baggy navy trouser and sporty trainers.
If you can pull this off, I want to be your friend.
Futuristic and funky.
The color!
