Where did all the tops go?

We've all been searching high and low for anything but a sweater—here are some tops and blouses to shake things up.

Once upon a season, blouses ruled the runway, but now it seems we've fallen victim to a top shortage crisis. The era of the extravagant blouse has been hijacked by the "clean girl" aesthetic, where a humble button-up and a white ribbed tank top reign supreme. Blouses are either too pricey or simply too much to ask for, leaving our closets in a monotone of lazily styled essentials. Maybe we've gotten so comfortable with our universally worn, easy-to-match button-ups that we've forgotten the wild and wacky world of tops. Here are some top options that promise to rescue your closet from monotony and usher in a vibrant revival of the once-glorious blouse.
