Shopping in between seasons isn’t always easy. I’s way too hot to think about sweaters but tank tops are also on their way out — this is where lightweight, flattering tops are key. Your best bet is to pick up styles that are breathable for warm days but can still easily pair with a cardigan when the brisk mornings come. And when blouses give your shape a slimming effect? Sign Us up!
Below, we rounded up 17 stylish, summer-to-fall tops that do just that. Each one is versatile, lightweight and made to flatter, making them ideal for brunch dates, in-office meetings and beyond. From elongating V-necklines to draped fabrics that skim instead of cling, these Amazon pieces will make your outfits (and figure) look better. Plus, they are all under $25, so you can pick up a few without breaking the bank.
