In case you missed it: Fashion enthusiasts have been subtly swapping their white t-shirts for this more stylish basic for fall.
Fashion-forward dressers eager to transition from summer to fall are highlighting a key trend that deserves a place in their wardrobes. Surprisingly, it’s not about the usual loafers, trench coats, or dark jeans. Instead, they are opting for the Henley tee. That’s right: rather than sticking with classic white T-shirts, trendsetters are choosing collarless tops featuring a half-button placket, predominantly in long-sleeve designs. The latest celebrity to be seen sporting one? Lucy Hale. Over the weekend, Hale was spotted in Los Angeles wearing a relaxed yet refined outfit, which included frayed-hem denim shorts paired with an oversized white long-sleeve Henley shirt. She completed her ensemble with The Row's Marlo 12 Bag, flip-flops, and wire-frame sunglasses.
