2. Tank Top
You can't beat an easy yet elevated tank with your favorite skinny jeans to keep comfortable and sleek.
3. Crop Top
Love crop tops? Consider a simple but vibrant pick with those trusty high-waisted skinny jeans.
4. Slouchy Blazer
If you're going for a layered look and it's a bit chilly, toss on a lightweight, slouchy blazer.
