Not many pieces in my wardrobe are as versatile as a great summer top. That's why they're a staple in all my tried-and-true outfit formulas. I can rely on a simple white tank top to pair with various skirts for an effortless summer work outfit. An off-the-shoulder top with black jeans serves as a reliable going-out look. And whenever I'm in a fashion rut, I can combine any pretty top with trendy denim for a quick yet stylish outfit. So, I'm updating my summer wardrobe with a few items before the new season begins.
After browsing the sale sections at my favorite retailers, I found plenty of options to elevate my cute summer outfits. There's the under-$50, '90s-inspired tube top from Abercrombie & Fitch, which I would wear with a slinky slip skirt and slingback heels. I also discovered a leopard-print Ganni top, popularized by Copenhagen It-girls, that you can grab for 30 percent off. Additionally, there's plenty of summer workwear on sale from Banana Republic and Gap.
