9 Tops Our Editors Love For a Winning ‘Jeans and a Nice Top’ Style Combo
The fail-safe combo will take you from date nights to dinner and drinks with the girls and everything in between.
While embracing trends and trying different styles is one of the things we love about fashion, there’s one outfit combo that is guaranteed to nail the brief every single time.
The “jeans and a nice top” combo has been getting us through date nights, drinks with the girls and even work meetings for years – and we’ll keep turning to it for years to come.
