Never underestimate the power of the humble T-shirt. Beloved by celebrities, stylists, and fashion lovers alike, the affordable and universally flattering T-shirt might be fashion's great equalizer. But of course, T-shirts are subject to the whims of the fashion elite just like any other article of clothing. From fabric and finishing to silhouette and cut, T-shirt trends change with every passing season.
As for summer 2022, we did some investigating to determine the tees that will continue to dominate this year. From crochet tees to plissé, shop the six summer T-shirt trends that will reign supreme this year.
Crochet
Crochet has been everywhere this summer, but a crochet tee is a great way to incorporate the trend in a cool and relaxed manner. You can even transition the tees into fall—just add a blazer or a leather jacket on top.
Saturated Shades
We've been all about daring colors here at Who What Wear, and it doesn't stop at T-shirts. While we'll always love our classic white T-shirts, a bright-colored option will be an easy way to have a little fun with your wardrobe.
Oversize Tees
This summer, we're gravitating toward boxy and oversize T-shirts that you can throw on over bike shorts or a dress and even tuck it into something high-waisted for a relaxed vibe.
Polos
Little details sometimes have the biggest impact. Case in point: the polo neckline. Despite it being a small detail added to a T-shirt, it changes up the whole look. It brings the look more toward the preppy side, making it more polished overall.
Designer Tees
Graphic tees will hardly ever go out, but I've noticed lately that designer logos and prints are coming back stronger than before. Think '90s and Y2K inspired, like this Dior version.
Plissé
There will always be a spot for more interesting T-shirts, and right now, those are plissé tops. The texture never wrinkles, looks so expensive, and, in my opinion, is timeless. Invest now and wear forever.
