Summer’s Baby Tees

credit: Lisa Says Gah

How you know a baby tee from all other t-shirts and tops? Simply a matter of fit and comfort, much less about the style. A baby tee is a baby tee. If it can be worn easily underneath a slip dress, it is definitely a baby tee. The 90’s staple item from film hits Clueless and celebrity babes like Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore and Winona Ryder wore them almost religiously. The woman responsible for making it iconic is former stylist Linda Meltzer whose love for all things vintage basically gave birth to the baby tee era.

Now it’s a classic and the one item that remains in a summer wardrobe. A baby tee goes with everything, not just a slip dress.
