The classic white T-shirt is a wardrobe staple, and for me, it’s an absolute must-have piece. That perfect style (I love those from Uniqlo) is the base layer to many of my well-styled looks. But I recently started wearing a long-sleeve white tee during these transitional temperatures, and I feel so chic with it.

To be honest, I just randomly tried one from Abercrombie, not thinking much about it. But the long-sleeve nature styled with my favorite Tibi trousers just hit. I actually started noticing more fashion people wearing long-sleeve white tees this season as well. Hailey Bieber recently wore an anti-trend outfit I want to wear on repeat while in New York City: that trusty tee, straight-leg jeans, and flip-flops. The long-sleeve tee just feels so effortless and a vibe (similarly to the trending long-sleeve baseball tees we're seeing everywhere).

I have other outfits saved from It girls wearing long-sleeve white tees, styled with everything from a gorgeous lace-trim skirt to cool pants (re: balloon pants). Although given the simple nature of the top, it can really be worn with anything. For reference, in terms of cut, it's a lot of relaxed styles, but also slightly fitted silhouettes I'm spotting.

Below, you'll see how fashion people are wearing white long-sleeve tees for spring 2026, along with the best shirts to shop from brands like COS, Aritzia, and Gap.

I'm going to recommend this ensemble to so many people over the next few weeks, featuring the gorgeous lace-trimmed skirt (a spring 2026 staple), long-sleeve tee, and sandals. It's just so effortlessly chic.

This is the anti-trend outfit I'm 100% wearing this season with the straight-leg jeans and flip-flops.

As I mentioned above, a white long-sleeve tee really can work with anything. I'm so into this outfit with the top paired with cool balloon pants.
