We've all had our fair share of tops [1] that are ridiculously cute but can get super uncomfortable really fast (particularly after a big meal when the only option is unbuttoning your pants and hoping no one notices or kindly looks the other way). Off-the-shoulder tops often fall into this category. While they highlight your shoulders and neckline in a feminine and flattering manner, styling hiccups like keeping an off-the-shoulder top in place or finding a silhouette that doesn't constrict your midsection can be challenging. Or sometimes the design of an off-the-shoulder top comes with too many bells and whistles. Corset detailing! Voluminous sleeves! Fluted cuffs! Sashes and trims! Etc., etc. Summer fashion is supposed to be fun, easy, and, ideally, breezy. For such a vibe, a simpler off-the-shoulder top is the way to go. Like this POPSUGAR Off-the-Shoulder Button Front Top [2] ($25, originally $34).
With sweet flutter sleeves and button-down detailing, this lightweight off-the-shoulder top is truly heroic in the heat. With an elasticized neckline to keep your top in place sans uncomfortable digging, the rest of the top gently billows out to flow over jeans, pants [3], and skirts [4] and hits at that ideal point where your midsection is covered without the length teetering into tunic territory. When you can't deal with a clingier silhouette, it doesn't get more ideal than that, especially in the heat. Bonus: the short bell sleeves cover just enough of your arm so that you have some coverage but not so much that you'll feel too covered up in hot weather.
When it comes to styling this comfy off-the-shoulder top, you've got options: it comes in dusty pink, bright red, light blue, and black (the latter two colors are available in extended sizes, too!) which feels fun and fresh for the Summer whether you team yours with jeans, shorts [5], skirts, leggings, or maybe even a trendy pair of biker shorts. See? Options!
Ahead, shop the cute, comfortable, and airy [6] off-the-shoulder top from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [7]. At just $25 (and $28 for extended sizes), you may want to scoop up one in each color.
