As we start moving past April showers toward May flowers, we can finally start filling our closets with lighter layers in confidence. From breezy crochet sets to chic sandals, trendy tennis skirts & more, we couldn't be more excited to bring all the sunny, tropical vibes to our 'fit checks. Of course, if we're talking warm-weather wardrobe staples, we absolutely can't leave out the forever-trendy baby tees that we're once again spotting on our favorite stars and seeing all over our social media feeds recently.

First popularized in the '90s, baby tees have become a key player in the street style fashion game. They're the perfect blend of casual and chic, and they're widely beloved for how cute they look when paired with anything from a satin maxi skirt to baggy jeans. This season, they're back and trendier than ever, featuring a whole assortment of designs that range from witty phrases to TGIF-inspired graphics. Whether you're in the middle of horse girl spring or eagerly anticipating the start of rat girl summer, there's a baby tee out there for every girlie.
