The end of summer means it's time to say goodbye to a lot of things we love (think tan lines, bikinis, and 8 p.m. sunsets). But the positive side of saying goodbye to things like tanks and crop tops is that we get to say hello to the pretty, more elaborate tops it's been too hot to wear. As I've been working on other fall stories (which means scanning the new-arrivals sections of editor-favorite retailers and scrolling through my Instagram feed), I couldn't help but notice the abundance of gorgeous tops all my favorite brands are introducing right now. From pearl-adorned cardigans to asymmetrical necklines to sheer sleeves, the top selection is excellent right now. Keep scrolling to see and shop the 21 prettiest fall tops I've seen thus far, and consider your outfit planning done.
