Tops

You can keep your bottoms understated; dressy tops are where it's at when you want to impart of-the-moment oomph into your outfits. Year-round, it's all about a rainbow of tees (long sleeve and short, please) and button-downs to top off your jeans, pants, and skirts. For summer, go boho with embroidered blouses, drapey thin knits, poet-sleeve shirts and swingy tank tops. Revitalize your closet with tops on sale whenever you spy them: While they're hot is the time to sprinkle in a few stand-out trends (tie-dye, anyone?).
