The Trendy Way Everyone Is Wearing White T-Shirts in 2024

The beauty of fashion is that there can be big, bold trends like red tights, and there can be simple, subtle trends that are easy for everyone to incorporate into their wardrobes. I'm here to talk about the latter. This trend is not in your face, but the second I see someone wearing it, I know they know what they're doing.

As far as basics go, a white T-shirt is about as boring as it gets, so it's no surprise that people are always looking for fresh ways to style them. Currently, that way is layered underneath a jumper. I've been seeing this IRL and on my Instagram feed every single day for the past several months. The T-shirts are white and always crewneck, and they can be fitted or loose, long-sleeved or short-sleeved. The jumper they're worn under are either V-necks (a popular style right now), crewnecks, or cardigans.

What I love about this T-shirt styling trend is that it adds an effortless, relaxed quality to sweater outfits and a layer of warmth on spring days. Plus, if your sweater is scratchy, the tee will provide a barrier between itchy fabric and your skin.

Style tip: When wearing a longer T-shirt that will show below the bottom of the jumper, be sure to choose a tee that's on the looser side.
