Chic dressers already eager to embrace transitional summer-to-fall fashion are letting everyone know there's one major trend worth adding to their rotation. It's not the expected loafers, trench coat, or dark denim. Instead, it's the henley tee. That's right: in place of classic white T-shirts, fashion people are reaching for collarless tops with a half-button placket, mostly in long-sleeve styles. The latest insider to be spotted in one? Lucy Hale.

Over the weekend, Hale was seen in L.A. wearing a casual yet polished outfit. She paired frayed-hem denim shorts and an oversized white long-sleeve henley shirt. To complete the look, she added The Row's Marlo 12 Bag, flip-flops, and wire-frame sunglasses.

If you're loyal to your white T-shirts, don't worry. Henleys offer that same effortless versatility. The difference? You don't have to overthink what to layer on top. In 2026, the henley is the look. Simply add your favorite jeans, trousers, or even denim shorts, and you're good to go.
