I talk a lot about “better-than-basic basics.”
Which is just that: a basic with elevated details.
Of everything I wear in the summer, the category I turn to the most is updated white tops. I wear them when I want something like a simple white tee with a bit more style impact.
I ordered several recently, so I have some go-to outfits for vacation.
These white tops are incredibly versatile, pairing effortlessly with any bottom, from shorts to jeans or trousers.
Since I’m still working while we’re away, my goal is not to think about anything unnecessary so that when I wrap up my work day, I can focus on family and fun.
I’m sharing some of my finds today if you want something similar.
All the tops below are under $40, making them a budget-friendly addition to your wardrobe. Plus, there are a few cotton and cotton blend options, something I know our readers are always looking for.
You’ll see all of these featured in upcoming outfit pics, starting with the top I featured earlier this week.
I wore it to dinner for Bri’s birthday – yes, all white!

Button Down Short Lantern Sleeve V Neck Cotton
Another all cotton option is this pretty “lantern” sleeve top that feels like you found it in a little boutique.
I like the shape of the sleeves and stitch detail at the shoulder – all little elements that help elevate it.

Note, this says “hand wash” but I never listen to it. I’ll throw this in with delicates and let it hang dry.

This next option is not going to be fore everyone, but I ordered it in white (and tan) to pair with drawstring linen pants and flat leather sandals.
I like the texture it will bring to a neutral outfit.
It’s not cropped, but it is short so skip if you are long waisted. Bonus that you don’t have to tuck it in.
Available in several colors, in S – XL for $35. Size up if in between.
