And just like that, we’re in the last week of August. I can’t believe summer is almost over and fall temperatures are already starting to creep in! As we’re nearing the end of summer, I thought I’d share another casual summer outfit while I still can.
One of my go-to silhouettes, regardless of the season, is the hourglass shape. Pieces that hug the bust, cinch at the waist, then flare back out are fail-proof for me. I love the casual, summery look of off-the-shoulder tops, but many of the ones I’ve seen flare out from the bust – which, for a top heavy person, is not ideal. That’s where the peplum top comes in.
This top, called the Printed Off-the-Shoulder Smocked T-Shirt, from American Eagle checks all the boxes. I ordered this top in size XXS and it fit like a glove. For reference, I have a 24″ waist and tops that are anywhere from 20″-22″ typically hit me at the waist. From the top of the shirt to the top of the hip, including the sleeves, is elasticated, so there’s room to give.
When I need to put together an outfit quickly, tops like this are the best because I know the silhouette will work, and it allows me to look casual while still having a defined shape.
Do you have a go-to silhouette you like to wear? Let me know in the comments down below!
