I’ve worn this tropical shirt more times in recent weeks than I’d like to admit. It’s just so easy to throw on with any pair of jeans and shoes day or night and makes you feel instantly summer-ready.

You know those brands that literally only make cool pieces? That’s LPA. Whether it’s the above (which is, not surprisingly, sold out), a similar style crop top, or one of its many dresses, no matter what you opt for, if LPA made it, you know you’ll look good.

I feel like every time I’m getting ready for an event and have no idea what to wear, I’m able to think of a new way to style this top by Area. Whether it’s with jeans, tucked into trousers, or over a miniskirt with a belt like below, it’s surprisingly one of the most versatile pieces I own.

Few things make me happier than finding an amazing and affordable everyday top from Zara. This lilac one from last season is sadly sold out, but I highly suggest opting for one of the many similar styles on the site before those are gone too.

I captioned this photo with the line “Thanks, it’s Reformation” because, within an hour of wearing it, I received at least 10 compliments and had to repeat the phrase over and over again. Safe to say it was a good buy.

If you’re looking for something in the “going out” category, this is definitely it. Plus, just the fact that I.AM.GIA is now available on Shopbop feels worthy of a celebratory purchase to me.

Despite buying this Nanusha top on an Instagram-induced whim months ago, I’ve surprisingly gotten more use (and compliments) out of it than most other things I own. Something about the brand’s unique color and silhouettes is just unlike anything else out there right now. For next season, I’m strongly eyeing the below.

As the most inactive and unsporty person on the planet, I found quite a bit of joy in the irony of me wearing this tee. However, for just $35, it’s becoming one of my favorite T-shirts thanks to the subtle yet beautifully colored logo and boxy fit. Pro tip: It runs about one size large.

Leave it to Ganni to make cropped tops feel actually fashiony. I love the light material and contrast-colored smocking on this one because it makes it feel daytime appropriate as well as cool for night time.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Everyone who doesn’t already own this flattering Reformation top really should. It’s the perfect cross between classic and trendy and pairs perfectly with jeans.

Australia-based brand Posse has perfected the summer top in every aspect from cut to color to fabric. You pretty much can’t go wrong with anything they make.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
