You’ve got your crew necks and your deep Vs, but Kaia Gerber knows that a T-shirt can be a lot more interesting when the neckline is a bit more askew.
This week, our February 2026 cover star was spotted out in New York City in one of her classic minimalist fits, which was centered around a graphic tee from Emily Dawn Long that’s been embraced by everybody from Pedro Pascal to Hacks star and co-showrunner Paul W. Downs.
The cropped shirt comes from a collection where Dawn Long repurposes vintage tees, printing them with the phrase “spoiled boys” on the front, as a cheeky nod to her male shoppers. “We love our boys,” the designer writes in the description for the product on her site. She also told Vogue: “‘Spoiled’ usually gets a bad rap—like it’s a negative thing—but it can also mean pampered, cared for, and cherished. It’s a term of endearment.”

Kaia Gerber is seen in New York City on August 26.
While the shirts come in a variety of fits and colors, Gerber’s is particularly notable for its collar, which was sliced along one side to create a draping, off-the-shoulder neckline, giving the tee a bit of an elevated silhouette.
Down low, The Shards star paired her shirt with a black pencil skirt and a pair of inky ballet pumps (perhaps pulled from her own collaboration with Repetto). Finally, she slung her recent favorite tiger-print Fendi baguette bag over her shoulder, while finishing things off with a pair of chunky round sunglasses and every It girl’s go-to accessory of late: a set of wired earphones.
When it comes to Gerber, it’s no surprise at this point that even her T-shirt game is strong.
