The summer season is about to kick off, and that means lots of fun in the sun.

Jardin Tank by Donna Estin

Why we love it: This tank makes great use of lace along the top not only to help keep you cool, but also to look your best.

Simple Summer by Originally Lovely

Why we love it: We love how the ribbing of the collar doubles as the straps for the tank in this top. Simple, but very clever.

THEA Top by Susanne Müller

Why we love it: Is it basic? Yes. But sometimes that’s all you need to get the job done.
