The latest menswear-inspired piece that's trending? Suit vests. (You can thank Kendall Jenner and Tommy Shelby.) While vests usually act as layering pieces, the tailored item looks exceptionally well contrasted with loose jeans as just a top.

Cardigans aren't just for the preppy dressers. While an oversized sweater may pair well with skinny jeans, the best match to a cropped top are jeans that are high-waisted and have a slight flare. (We've all seen that "little shirt, big pants" TikTok right?)

Instead of a plain t-shirt, find one that has an interesting detail like a polo collar. It's an easy level-up for a simple outfit.
