I noticed Zoë Kravitz, Hailey Bieber, and EmRata exchanging white tees for this trendy top, so I decided to follow suit.

      Whenever I reflect on my autumn wardrobe, I can't help but feel a bit downcast that my playful hemlines, airy prints, and lovely embellishments can only shine during the warm weather. In colder temperatures, my outfits tend to come across as more severe and somber, featuring fitted coats, sharp silhouettes, and luxurious materials. Recently, I've been on the lookout for pieces that carry a more decorative style, whether it’s swapping my suede jackets for stylish leather funnel-neck options or upgrading my cashmere selection with one of the season’s trending colors.

      One item I haven’t yet found a suitable replacement for is the classic white T-shirt. That is, until I noticed a wave of celebrities trading in this basic staple for something much more eye-catching. Lately, many prominent members of the celebrity fashion world have been enhancing this wardrobe essential by opting for baseball tops instead.

      This ‘90s trend, popular among punk musicians and skateboarders, has gained new admirers like Emily Ratajkowski, Zoë Kravitz, and Hailey Bieber, who have all been champions for the resurgence of this once-outdated piece. It’s clear that these unconventional marketing strategies have paid off; I, too, have been influenced and have added a few baseball shirts to my collection. But let’s rewind for a moment.

      Commonly known as a raglan tee, this design boasts a relaxed fit and a distinct contrasting sleeve color that contrasts with the usually white base. The sleeves are cut diagonally, lending a more laid-back and effortless vibe to the style. Nowadays, it’s the type of top you might see on Jeremy Allen White or Jacob Elordi, making these endorsements feel quite fresh and innovative as a fashion choice. Rather than leaning into the sporty associations, Emily, Zoë, and Hailey have managed to style the shirt in a way that feels quite sophisticated while maintaining a casual aesthetic.

      The first appearance I noticed was when Ratajkowski showed up in New York to promote her role in Lena Dunham's new Netflix romcom, Too Much. The model and author opted for a playful, vintage-inspired baseball top from Bode that said "I’m A Speed Skater," pairing it with capris and heels for a chic look. Meanwhile, Zoë Kravitz was on her own press tour for Darren Aronofsky's Caught Stealing, where she embraced a playful take on late ’20th-century fashion with a full ensemble from Auralee’s spring/summer 2026 collection. This included a blue-and-white baseball top and a sheer checked shirt, evoking the grungy minimalism of that era.

      Lastly, on the West Coast, Hailey Bieber styled her baseball top with Alo Yoga pants and flip-flops from The Row. Given her beachside location and the fact that her top was from an Australian brand, her outfit had a more surfer-inspired feel compared to the others, showcasing the versatility of this understated style.

      Personally, I’ve been enjoying mixing athleisure with corporate wear by pairing the baseball top with everything from tailored pencil skirts to leggings and loafers. Several close friends and colleagues have also caught onto its charm, with many asking for suggestions for baseball tops that won’t make you look like you borrowed from your younger brother’s closet. So, without further delay, here are some of the best baseball tops available right now to help you embrace this trend.
