Sorry, White Tops—Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber Are Making a Case for This Elegant Alt
In recent weeks, there has been a noticeable shift away from the timeless white top. Instead of the crisp style, fashion insiders are opting for its more sophisticated and versatile counterpart: the black top. Two leading figures embracing this style evolution are Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber.
Spotted in NYC this weekend, Bieber and Jenner showcased how to master the art of layering black tops under outerwear. Bieber, ever the minimalistic dresser, paired a sleek black crewneck sweater with a leather bomber jacket, wide-leg pants, and loafers—striking the perfect balance between refined and effortlessly comfortable. On the other hand, Jenner opted to elevate a black tee with straight-leg jeans, a suede blazer, a chunky scarf, loafers, and an east-west bag.

The elegance of black is undeniable. It injects an air of maturity and sophistication into any outfit, whereas white can sometimes feel too casual or stark. Plus, black pairs seamlessly with winter's most popular hues—navy, burgundy, and gray—making it a fail-safe option.
Whether you're looking for a classic tee or a cozy sweater, keep scrolling to shop the black tops worth adding to your collection.
