Not White, Not Black—the Trendy Tee Every Fashion Person Is Wearing This Spring
Stripes for spring? Groundbreaking! While a white or black tee will never go out of style, it's about this time of year when we start to see striped tees dominate. And for spring 2026, in particular, we're seeing chic and fresh takes on stripes thanks to the rise in the sporty-preppy trend that we saw all over the S/S 26 runways. Everywhere I turn these days, I'm seeing a chic fashion person sporting some cool version of this season's striped tees—whether it's a cropped silhouette paired with low-rise jeans or an oversize stripe tee styled with lace-trim shorts, there's no question that wearing one will add a trend-forward touch to your look this season. And while a Breton-stripe tee remains a classic, this season I recommend thinking out of the box. Go for a variety of bold and bright colors, and seek out stripes of various sizes.
Below, I'm sharing the chicest striped tees I'm loving this season—a mix of both short-sleeve and long-sleeve. There's a little something for every budget.
