As our summer soirees are limited mostly to the outdoors this year, there are still places to go and people to see and looking chic while doing so. Statement tops are a must-have no matter the season but even as we are recovering from a worldwide pandemic, we can still wear the eye-catching styles we love in the best way we know how, comfortably. This summer, statement tops can be easily paired with a range of denim jeans to tone down the drama in the most subtle way possible.
Whether inside or out attending everything from game nights to girl time, casual chic is always a major win.
A Subtle Statement

Crisp and refreshing, fun white tops are one of my summer go-to's, even more so when designed with subtle yet distinct details. My favorite aspect of this particular top is its criss-cross cut-outs along with the wide button-down sleeves. The lightweight material makes it perfect to pair with jeans for a casual and contemporary look on a warm summer day.

For a casual yet bold summer slay, find a statement top with a pop of color and plenty of shoulder drama. Worn with your best-fitting mom jeans, this look will definitely be a highlight for the fashion archives. Make the top your own by adding a sneaker or sandal depending on the mood.
