We're not saying J.Crew doesn't do cool clothes, but the latest lineup of tops is so effortlessly on trend, we did a double take. With ruffles, one-shoulders, gingham prints, and bright rainbow stripes, this isn't your average selection of wardrobe staples. In place of regular button-downs, these come with revamped details — the kind that make even work outfits all the more alluring.
It's time for a strategic change-up. Scoop up any one of these bold new tops — all under $100 — and consider your outfit made.
