No matter what time of year it is, I somehow tend to run hot. Even though New York City reaches sub-zero temperatures, I still work up a sweat in heavy knit layers. As winter slowly (but surely) fades away, I’m more than happy to say goodbye to the pieces that keep me hot in favor of flattering blouses that dive right into spring.
To stay dry as the weather heats up, I’m looking for soft pieces that feature breathable fabrics with chic accents. I tracked down styles that fit the bill at stores like Amazon, Walmart, Free People and more. I was very impressed after scrolling through these colorful top options, many of which have belly-slimming silhouettes and classic designs that work for the office, brunch and beyond.
