Speaking of great summer tees, I'm all about sporting the iconic but currently-all-the-rage polo shirt. They look fresh and cool when teamed with more dressed-up pieces, whether it's a statement skirt or a sleek pair of pants. Rendered in a sophisticated pique material, like the Toteme one in the last pic, below, they look decidedly elegant--i.e., can do wonders for a basic pair of shorts. I'm loving these versions by J.Crew, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Acne Studios (50% off), Tibi (40% off), Vince, Topshop, and Theory (50% off).
