I'm not the type to let it all hang out, which is why I'm a fan of this spring's only slightly skin-baring tops. Strategically designed to show just the tiniest--but arguably sexiest--bit of skin, these blouses make a fresh statement, plus provide the perfect amount of ventilation. I particularly love these by Tome (above), Cheap Monday, Tibi, Asos, Maison Mayle, Banana Republic, Milly, and Madewell.
