    If You Live In Denim Shorts, Here Are 37 Cute Tops That’ll Go Perfectly With Them

    Time to give your plain gray T-shirt a break.

    All sizes in this post are listed in women's.

    1. A magical Bardot crop blouse with a killer silhouette you'll want to buy in every last color.

    Promising review: "This top is so cute and surprisingly great quality. It’s not see-through at all so I can go braless, and it's very comfortable. The tie in the back is a little too long, like too much material, but that’s the only small thing and I’ll play around with it I’m sure." —Sammy

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 36 colors).

    2. A martini T-shirt you can wear for your next outdoor martini, Caesar salad, and french fries lunch date. It's an unstoppable trio that I'll defend to the death! Extra dirty, please.

    Get it from Princess Polly for $45 (available in sizes ).

    3. A one-shoulder top in a crop length that'll keep it feeling easy breezy, despite the group chat piling on the excuses as to why you're not going to the theme park next Sunday as planned.

    Goodful

    Get it from our Goodful shop for $85 (available in sizes S–XL).

    4. A printed midi skirt and tank set you can get way more mileage out of when you wear the top with a pair of denim shorts. So cute! And so efficient. (I'm having a trophy whipped up in your honor right now.)

    This is my colleague Kayla Boyd wearing this set! Here's what she has to say about it: "I love a matching set because it takes most of the work out of putting an outfit together. And this one is such a great deal! I love how comfy and easy it is to wear. I was concerned about it being see-through, but it wasn't! It has a stretchy waist and a cute tie detail in the front of the skirt. For spring days, I just throw a denim jacket over it. And, of course, I plan to wear it all summer as well. I would 100% buy more colors in this — and there are so many to choose from!"

    Promising review: "I loved it. The material is light and airy. Very sexy." —Tiffany Gibbs

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes XL–5XL and 36 colors/prints).

    5. A halter vest top if you've been on the prowl for a men's vest to wear as a top at thrift shops (SAME) but haven't found the right one yet.

    Target

    Get it from Target for $20 (available in sizes XXS–4X and also in black; also check out a similar faux-leather vest).

    6. A longline sports bra you can (and tbh, SHOULD) just wear as a crop top. It's too hot out for shirts that cover your belly button.

    10. A cheery collared crop top that's kinda giving Allan from Barbie. (In a good way, promise.) 

    Promising review: "This is a very cute rainbow crop top. The fabric is very soft, not itchy at all, and it fits exactly as I expected! The colors are very pastel/light and not overly bright. Very affordable for what it is. Exactly the right size; don't buy any smaller than you're used to (because it won't fit). Also, when I opened it up at first, it looked way too small, but when I actually put it on, it was comfy and PERFECT. I would definitely recommend this product for someone who is looking for something casual and comfy!" —Gina

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 18 colors and patterns).

    11. A smocked top that'll scream "I got this on holiday in Italy" while in reality the closest you got to Italy in 2023 was rewatching White Lotus season two while housing a frozen lasagna in the AC.

    Promising review: "I love the shirt. It would be great for a summer night with a pair of skinny jeans and heels for a night on the town or date night, whatever.

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 34 colors).

    13. Or a tie-front top to give ya more of a peek of skin. Even if the forecast calls for rain, your pics will still be ~sizzling~ in this.

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–4XL and 38 styles).

    14. A sensory compression tank in a soft, supportive material in a seamless *without* tags. It's supportive enough to skip wearing a bra with it. Really, the only thing missing is its ability to make your lunch.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    My colleague Emma Lord is modeling this gorgeous top. Here's what she has to say: 

    "I am *obsessed* with this crop top — the corset strap in the back is completely adjustable, giving you full reign over where the neckline falls and how tight it's strung on your back. It's super comfortable and so breezy to wear in the warm weather (plus the velvet does an excellent job of obscuring all my SWEAT, of which I have a lot)."

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and 11 colors). 

    19. A satin scarf you can wear as a top, tie around your ponytail, use as a headband, tie on your tote for a lil' extra flair. There are so many stylish possibilities for jazzing up your wardrobe!

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes S–L and 13 colors).

    21. A striped long-sleeve shirt can pair perfectly with your signature red lipstick color. Add a cat-eye and it'll feel v Taylor Swift coded.

    Reviewers suggest ordering a size up for the perfect fit.

    Promising review: "Very cute and comfortable! I like the ribbed fabric and the shirt is long enough to tuck in, but not long enough to bunch up under the waistline of your bottoms." —Emily

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 16 colors).

    22. An aptly named "afternoon delight" shirt that couldn't be named anything else on this planet. Feel free to hum Starland Vocal Band all day while wearing it and soaking up the compliments.

    Promising review: "I love this top! What a statement! The color and the stripes is perfect for spring and summer and I can't get over how adorable the bow is. You can tie in the front or the back. I also love the off-shoulder look. I can dress this up or down, thinking even on white cutoff shorts for the summer and some cute sandals! This top has all the girlie frills and definitely a statement. Highly recommend and fits true to size." —Jolie and Grace

    Get it from Amazon for $40.99 (available in sizes S–4XL and three colors).

    Promising review: "The BEST basic tank! I have this in three colors (white, black, and salmon/pink), and I’m reordering the white because I wear it so much! The built-in bra and pads are great so you can just throw this on with a pair of jeans, shorts, or leggings for the warmer weather and go! I also wear it for working out, and it keeps everything in place." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $18.39 (available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).

    26. A too-chic-for-words (but I'll try) crop top for when you really wanna jazz up your trusty ol' shorts.  It's just begging to be photographed at a cute group dinner.

    27. A soft, loose-fit V-neck with stripes that'd be a perfect subtle slasher-summer outfit if you just so happen to find yourself working as a camp counselor by a lake with some sus activity. Throw in some chucks and tube socks, and you'll be golden for your inevitable encounter with Jason Vorhees.

    Get it from Amazon for $21.98+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 12 styles).

    33. A cinch tank top made for layering over lacy bralettes or bikini tops. Um, did this just make me want to rewatch the cinematic surfing masterpiece Blue Crush. Perhaps.

    Get it from Abercrombie & Fitch for $40 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and five colors/patterns; and in a matching skirt).

    35. A halter tank top you can throw on with basically any bottom that you own. And reviewers say it's compressive enough that you can skip the bra with it — which is especially welcome when it's THIS hot outside. 

    Promising review: "I have bought this top in seven different colors because I am that obsessed with it. I have gifted it to all of my friends for their birthdays because it is that great. It is spandex-like material and super comfy, but the fit and style of it are what I am obsessed with. It is super cute. I wear this to work out in or even just wear to go out in without a bra underneath, and it keeps everything in check. My number one clothing item for the last couple of months!!" —Midwestern Girl

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 23 colors).

    37. A rib-knit ruched crop top that I would personally wear if I were cast on Rock of Love in 2023. (Btw, the best dating reality show ever is on Hulu.)  But then I'd probably just use the zipline all the time and end up getting kicked off on like ITYSL.
