It's getting hot out there, which means comfortable clothing is essential for looking and feeling your breeziest all Summer. Sundresses (preferably ones that don't cling to your body) are a given, but some of the most crucial items to stock up on are comfortable tops, from tanks to tees to blouses, to mix and match with your cute skirts [1], heat-proof jeans (perhaps a summery white pair [2]?!), fun shorts, and breathable pants (like this winning $30 linen style [3]).
While we're all about investing in lifetime pieces when you can, affordable tops are always ideal in our book, especially when they're extremely comfortable and adorable — that's just impossible to resist. Of course, the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [4] is filled with cute options under $40 — including styles for curvy figures [5] — from the cutest bow-tie smocked tank [6] to a classic-with-a-twist striped tee with puffy sleeves [7] and playful t-shirts [8] with just enough detail to make them feel special.
Ahead, scroll through our edit of affordable tops to keep your Summer outfit rotation fresh and breezy. With every style coming in under $40, you can stock up on several without the extra stress on your bank account. Stay cool out there!
