A great top is kind of the best thing ever, whether you're 18, 29, 37, 41, 56 . . . OK you get it. From gingham prints to polka dots and stripes, tops can be totally mood enhancing whether you're trying a playful version on a date, a classic-with-a-twist style for the office, or a casual-cool basic to wear, well, anywhere!
The best kinds of tops [1] really speak for themselves, meaning they don't require much else to look great wherever and whenever you wear them. That's why one of our all-time favorite outfit combos is a top with jeans, especially for Spring and Summer when effortless style is all the more satisfying (i.e., no complicated layering).
Right now, a few of our favorite trends in the top category are puffy sleeves [2], ditsy floral prints, and '70s-inspired camp shirts [3] in bright colors and playful patterns. As for can't-beat-them basics, ribbed tees, striped tops [4], and simple camisoles are always in rotation, which means stocking up on a fresh assortment each season is essential.
Ahead, shop our edit of cute Spring and Summer tops from the POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's [5] — not only are these styles versatile for all occasions, but they're super affordable. We're talking $33-or-less affordable — ca-ching! If you're partial to a top-and-jeans pairing like we are, we've also included our favorite affordable POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's [6] jeans for $37 or less, including vintage-inspired, colored, and summer white washes.
