I have a confession: it is April, and I have not started my spring shopping. I promised myself that I would clean out my closet before I bought anything, and I have not completed the purge yet.
As an interim step, I have a folder in my bookmarks, called “Shopping Spring/Summer 2026,” filled with things that I am saving for the post-clean out restock. This shirt, impossibly cool and of-the-moment, has definitely made the cut.
Brought to you by & Other Stories, this shirt combines the 2026 vibes with a classic stripe. It feels like your cool younger sister’s button down. It accentuates the waist, drapes beautifully, and looks great with high waisted pants.
The thing I particularly like about this shirt is that because the foundation is striped button down, you can blend it into your wardrobe easily. Any outfit you could wear a striped shirt with, you can wear this top. So while it may seem more challenging to wear, just treat it like you would any striped top. It would be very cute with navy or denim shorts.
Looking for a similar vibe in a more wearable package? Marcella NYC has a stand-alone shirt that would be great for work. This Karen Millen blouse offers a bit more drama, but still reads “office attire.” Like the idea of a dramatic vibe-y shirt but want something longer? Banana Republic has a cool, corset-inspired top you will love.
