Refresh your closet with this flowy, wrinkle-resistant $28 top: 'I ended up ordering four colors'
You can wear T-shirts year-round, but sometimes you want something equally chill but with a little more pizzazz for dressier occasions. Fans say the Prettygarden Summer Casual Crewneck fills that pesky wardrobe gap. With ruffled sleeves and drapey fabric, it's polished enough to pair with linen trousers or dark denim for a day in the office or dinner at your favorite restaurant. Add it to your warm-weather wardrobe for just $28.
This beauty comes in plenty of colors, and it's machine-washable.
This shirt has a loose, flowy fit that makes it uber-flattering, whether you decide to wear it with jeans or tucked into a skirt. Like your favorite T-shirt, you can dress it up or down, wearing it on its own or layering it with a jacket.
It's made with 100% polyester, so, admittedly, it's not the most breathable top out there, but that comes with a "pro": It doesn't wrinkle. This makes it an especially good option for a summer getaway or work trip. The shirt comes in 18 colors — get it in light pink, green or sky blue, or go with classic black to wear it year-round.
Hundreds of Amazon shoppers have given Prettygarden's Summer Casual Crewneck five stars, and many say they've bought multiple colors.
"The flutter sleeves make it dressy, but it's so comfortable that it feels casual," wrote a happy customer. "The fabric is great because it is a bit textured in a way that makes it where you never have to iron it. The fit is true to size and so flattering ... I ended up ordering four colors."
"I love this top! I purchased it in two colors, and love them both," shared another loyal fan. "The fit is perfect, the fabric is not too thin, like others I've purchased (and returned). These tops can be worn with jeans or dressed up for something more fancy."
A third shopper added that for a short-sleeve top, it doesn't show too much arm: "The sleeve details make the shirt! I don't like to show off my arms, but this shirt made me super comfortable in short sleeves."
Reviewers disagree on the sizing, though. Some say it runs true to size, while others say it runs big or small. One area where they do agree: There's not a lot of give to the fabric.
"I just wore the top for the first time and I really like it," wrote one buyer. "I ordered a large, which is standard for me, and it does fit a little tight through the shoulders, but not enough to return it. The top doesn't have a lot of stretch to it ... [But] so far, I give it a thumbs-up."
"Fits as expected, but the material has no give," agreed another reviewer. "When I wear a shirt, I like there to be some stretch to it when I move my arms rather than feel like I'm limited on my movement for fear of it tearing. Once again, it does fit well, just wish I had read the description a little further to verify the materials used. Washed up beautifully. Looks good on."
My suggestion? Order your normal size, but consider trying one size up as well. Amazon makes returns super easy (and they're free!).
This shirt takes about as much effort to wear as a regular tee, but it won't wrinkle like your favorite cotton go-to.

This floral top also has ruffled short sleeves, but it adds some kicky crochet detailing.
