I love statement tops. I live and die by the promise of a cute, chic top to transform any outfit from boring to beautiful. While my daytime style veers more into the understated-comfort category, I'll always find an excuse to wear something bright, shiny, and sparkly on a night on the town.
Now that the weather is getting warmer and I'm finding more and more excuses to get out of the house, a statement top of choice paired with a simple pair of jeans has been my go-to outfit. Notwithstanding the fact that it's quite simple to assemble (you only need two pieces of clothing!), it also gives an insight into my playful personality— something that a white tank top simply can't do.
Below, browse all of the statement tops I've been eyeing on Shopbop, including a few I'm more than sure you'll fall in love with too.
