Hot Summer Looks

Wearing a belted top gives you an easy trendy edge.

You can't go wrong with a belted top this summer. It finishes and perfects all of your longer-style tops, and best of all, you can wear different belts to completely change the look of your top, add tons of options to your repertoire (especially good for those on a budget), and quadruple your "style points."

  • Stay Creative--Easily: Wear the belt that comes with your tunic for guaranteed success. If you're hesitant about branching out and trying new belts, use the one that comes with the top as a type of template. Measure its width, note the buckle, and then head out to find slightly similar belts in different styles and colors.

  • Perfect Match: A simple chiffon skirt will look stunning with this gorgeous top, or you can branch out and go for a pair of completely casual wide-legged trousers for a night out on the water.

  • Get Cute: Round-toed shoes will add a touch of sweetness to an otherwise hot look.
