As another blouse option, we like this smocked crop-top that "looks more expensive than it is" can be worn during the last few weeks of summer and into the fall. Made from lightweight cotton, it has a shirred bodice, puffy three-quarter-length sleeves with ruffle details, a square neckline, and a ruffled hemline. While it's still warm out, the top will look great with a pair of denim shorts or a mini skirt, and once fall weather hits, you can style it with long jeans or trousers.

Its knit bodice will keep you warm, while the cutout sleeves will allow air to flow through. You can wear it buttoned up on its own or throw a simple tee or tank underneath.
