With Tops This Chic, Fashion People in Your Life Will Be Doling Out Compliments

As the weather gets warmer, I can no longer rely on my favorite stylish coats to pull my outfits together. It's around this time of year that my attention then turns to an array of chic tops to carry my wardrobe through spring and summer. The right top has so much power to bring an outfit to the next level, so I always make sure to have a selection of favorites ready to go for the new season. I'm especially keen on versatile options that instantly elevate any look without much effort and will get noticed by my most stylish of friends.
I spent some time this week skimming the offerings at some of my go-to online retailers like Nordstrom, Reformation, Shopbop, H&M, and J.Crew, to name a few. I was so pleased with my finds that I ended up complicating things since I want every last piece. From elevated basics to minimalist trendy standouts, there are so many gems to choose from. Scroll on to discover an incredibly chic selection of tops that are guaranteed to have the fashion people in your life doling out endless compliments. I sprinkled in some outfit ideas to get you inspired as well.
Goes great with everything from jeans to skirts.
