A denim top is the piece that stops an outfit looking like it tried. This edit covers denim shirts cut loose enough to wear open over a swimsuit, fitted corset and bustier styles in structured denim, cropped and off-shoulder cuts for summer, and sleeveless shirts for layering. Washes run from pale and worn-in through to deep indigo and black. Denim on denim works when the washes are clearly different — pair a pale top with dark jeans rather than matching them closely. Structured denim softens with wear rather than stretching, so the fit you get in the first month is close to the fit you keep.
