The Simple Wardrobe Switch It-Girls Are Making This Spring

Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa have all been making the case for the humble long sleeve white tee.

Between fashion’s growing pull towards maximalism and colour-drenched styling, one surprisingly simple piece has emerged as the subtle backbone of the most stylish trans-seasonal wardrobes: the long sleeve white tee.

Sure, it may have started as an anti-trend moment, but it’s quickly become fashion’s new favourite basic, especially since it-girls like Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa have got hold of it, and we can see why.

The low-key nature of this long sleeve white tee makes it very easy to style, going with everything from bermuda shorts and denim to camo print cargos and lace-trimmed silk skirts without missing a beat. While the relaxed silhouette invites a laidback, off-duty energy that feels cool without trying. It’s also just a really practical piece to get you through those spring days where a jacket feels like overkill, but your tanks and baby tees leave you feeling a little chilly.

For the most part, the exact long sleeve white tee we’re seeing features a boxy fit with a classic crewneck and wide, oversized sleeves. For those craving a bit of waist definition, you can also wear it with one side tucked up into your bra. Otherwise, let it flow as is for more of that undone, nonchalant vibe.

Unlike so many of the micro trends we see come and go, this feels like it has some longevity. After all, a good basic will forever be in fashion. And considering you can pick up some quality 100% cotton versions for under $100, it’s one trend piece we’ll gladly give into.
