Speaking of great summer tees, I'm all about sporting the iconic but currently-all-the-rage polo shirt. They look fresh and cool when teamed with more dressed-up pieces, whether it's a statement skirt or a sleek pair of pants.

I'm loving these versions by , , (50% off), (40% off), , , and (50% off).

I love this update on the classic white tee. So versatile and so cute!

A cropped length and braided pockets make these everyday jeans a little less everyday-looking.

It's a beach cover-up! It's a evening-out top! It's a summer day shirt! It's everything--and then some. (And a little Chloe-spirited too.)

This tank top possesses the rare mix of fancyfree and flounce--just what I need!

This tee pretty much nails easy breezy summer.

Cotton, fringed, the ultimate spring statement jacket.

This warm weather season I intend to stay stylishly cool in lightweight yet high-impact tops. The kind that stand out with nothing more than a pair of jeans or tailored shorts. The billowy , above, would be a good place to start. And I'd keep going in any of these by , , , , , , , and .
