Stocking up on versatile tops that can be worn in multiple settings is the key to never having a “what to wear” moment.  The goal is to keep a great selection of easy-to-style tops that save Us time so that when we leave from work or meetings, we can head straight to happy hour or a girls’ night out without feeling like we brought corporate America to the party. One of our go-to places for going out tops is Express. Since the retailer is having a super good sale, now is the perfect time to toss a few designs into our carts.

Who says showing skin is out until it warms up outside? We can pull it off effortlessly with the classic off-shoulder top boasting a sultry, snug fit. This Express One Eleven Modern Rib Off-The-Shoulder Tee manages to be alluring enough for date night yet just casual enough to pair with distressed denim jeans. All we will need to complete the look is a pair of pointed toe pumps, a trench coat and a top handle statement bag.

We can order this shirt in classic black but it is also available in three additional colors. Shoppers raved most about how well this top fits. They really appreciated the stretch of the fabric with one reviewer noting that it is a thin top without being see-through. Several reviews shared that shoppers ordered the top in more than one color. Sizes for this top range from XXS to large.

This top will look fabulous topped by a cropped faux fur jacket and a pair of moto leggings with ankle booties. We could also step out wearing flared jeans to play up a ’70s-inspired look.

Shoppers who bought this peplum loved how Express gave the traditionally masculine plaid print a softer touch and we concur.
