Refined Crop Tank
This crewneck tank top is the ideal piece to wear alone or layered underneath button-downs, blazers, and cardigans, and the slightly cropped length hits at the right spot for high-waisted bottoms, such as linen pants, maxi skirt, and jean shorts. Its cotton jersey material makes the sleeveless top equal parts stretchy and soft, plus it’s machine washable so you can toss it in the laundry pile when you return from your trip. Style it with dainty gold jewelry and a crossbody bag for an effortless look.
Cruz Poplin Mini Dress
Dresses are the best low-lift outfits, but some styles can only be worn once throughout your trip. If you need a versatile option, this kaftan mini dress is a no-brainer. You can toss it over a bathing suit as a cover-up, and dress it up with wedges and a necklace stack for dinner. The flowy silhouette is up to 81 percent in white, pink, and olive, starting at just $28.
Cascade Silk Top
It doesn’t get more luxurious than a 100 percent silk garment, and this top from Banana Republic is no exception. You don’t have to spend a small fortune either: It has a 71 percent discount right now, bringing it down to just $35. The top has a flattering design thanks to its V-neck and back and ruched, elastic waist. Plus, the material is smart for summer travel since it takes up minimal space in your suitcase (leaving room for more shoe and handbag options) and is super lightweight.
Cotton One-Shoulder T-Shirt
If you want a timeless piece with a twist, consider adding this one-shoulder top to your capsule wardrobe. It’s available in black and white and features a relaxed fit that makes it breathable for hot weather and easy to tuck into various bottoms. Pair it with tailored shorts and flats for a photo-worthy daytime look, or style it with a mini skirt and heels for a night out. According to the site, nearly 600 customers added it to their virtual cart yesterday, so grab it while it’s still in stock.
