New Tees 6.30.08
We've been really bad lately at updating you with new t-shirt designs, mostly because there hasn't been much new lately. So we're doing a big update right now. First up is The Ryde. They have two new designs, and we like Surf.
Threadless has new tees from the past two weeks as well. Our top picks are Cake is Awesome, Cooking with Friends, Where the Heart Is, Field Study 01, and Le Romantique, and the reprints Being Vague is Almost as..., Rainbow Worrier, Parable Paranoia, and Don't Play With Matches.

Pat Tank Top by Velvet
The name of the Pat Tank Top by Velvet is a bit deceiving as it's actually a halter top, but it's still super cute. It's a simple top with twisted knot detail at the bust and a scoop neck. It's available in two colors: admiral and scarletta.

Check Button Down Top by Splendid
We loved checkered and plaid tops and can't get enough of them. They will always remind us of fall, but why not wear them year round? The Check Button Down Top by Splendid has a fold-over collar, eight buttons down the front, a patch pocket at the bust, button tab detail at the back, a single button at the rolled cuffs and elbow length sleeves. It's also semi-sheer and available in cornflower and lacquer. If you like this, there's also the Check Tank Top that we reviewed last week.
Blanca Top by Velvet
We really like the details on the Blanca Top by Velvet. This blouse has crocheted lace detail flanking the buttons down the front. There's a scoop neck that has a long bow, a scoop back, ruching at the neck, and ruching at the 3/4 length sleeves. It is 100% silk and available in two colors: camellia and turquoise.
Striped Long Sleeve V Neck Pullover by Milly
We know that long sleeved sweaters aren't really what you're looking for in the summer, but we think the Striped Long Sleeve V Neck Pullover by Milly is too good to pass up! This preppy V-neck sweater has stripes throughout, ribbed banding at the edges, long sleeves, and comes in coral and leaf. Wear it on a cooler evening or save it for this fall.

Elais Cami Top by Velvet
We love crocheting, and the Elais Cami Top by Velvet has a ton of it. Theis simple tank has crochet knit throughout the bust and straps and ruching at the empire waist. It's available in two colors: tango and tidal.
Side Sash Gathered Tank by Vera Wang Lavender Label
If you need a formal top, we like the Side Sash Gathered Tank by Vera Wang Lavender Label. This tank is made of wrinkled satin and has a tie detail and ruching at the bust, ruching at the waist, a hidden back zipper, 1.5 inch straps, and a lined bodice. Pair with black pants or skirt for an elegant evening.
Organic Button Placket Top by C&C California
C&C California is known for casual comfort that is also stylish, and they are certainly doing that with the Organic Button Placket Top. This top has three button closures and four more button details at the V-neck, elastic banding at the low waist, rolled edges throughout, and no sleeves. It's made from 100% organic cotton and is available in black, navy, and white.

Athena Top by Young Fabulous & Broke
If you like single strapped tops, the Athena Top by Young Fabulous & Broke is for you. There is one twisted strap, overlapping detail throughout the body, and banding and ruching at the neck. It also is a little forgiving in the stomach in case that's a sensitive area.
Striped Hoodie by Splendid
This next top is super cute. The Striped Hoodie by Splendid has a scoopneck, keyhole with button detail at the bust, short sleeves, and a hood. It's very pretty, and we really like the moss color.
Jobi Top by Velvet
The Jobi Top by Velvet is sexy and sweet at the same time. What a great combination! It has gathered ruffle detail at the wide V-neck, a drawstring bow at the bust, and cap sleeves. It's available in four colors too: black, carbon, cherry, and sea. There's also a bit of a bohemian feel to it, which makes it just that much more fun.

It comes in two colors: polar blue and shaded daffodil.
Silky Melange Jersey Top by Marc by Marc Jacobs
We love how the Silky Melange Jersey Top by Marc by Marc Jacobs is basically a luxury t-shirt. It has a scoop neck, vertical seam detail throughout, short flutter sleeves, and it's 100% silk. Looks great with your favorite pair of jeans.

Once again Nanette Lepore designs one of our favorites of the week. The Love Me Tender Top is a textured blouse with pleating and band detail at the crossover V-neck, no sleeves, a lined bodice, and hidden back zipper. It's 100% silk too. We love the plum color, and it's also available in black.

It comes in two colors: ash and moss.

Scoop Neck Short Sleeve Top by Nieves Lavi
We really love the burnt orange color of the Scoop Neck Short Sleeve Top by Nieves Lavi. This print top has ruching at the scoop neck and cap sleeves. It's pretty simple, but the fun print makes up for that.
Print Halter Top by T-Bags
T-Bags is known for their unique prints, but we must say that the print on the Print Halter Top is quite possibly our favorite yet. This halter has a bow at the bust, elastic banding at the back, spaghetti straps that tie behind the neck, and a lined bust. It's going fast, so buy it while you can!
June 21, 2008
Raglan Sleeve Pullover Top by Juicy Couture
The Raglan Sleeve Pullover Top by Juicy Couture is fun because you can wear it two different ways. There are six buttons at the bust and a tie at the neck that you can either tie and button up for a more conservative look or leave undone for something more casual. There's also rickrack trim at the neck and bottom hem, a single button closure and ruffle trim at the cuffs, and short sleeves. As of writing this, it is available in four colors (chamomile lawn, cherry pie, peck, and white), but they are going fast.

Ombre Cinch Waist Top by Free People
Ombre with eyelet, what a great idea! The Ombre Cinch Waist Top by Free People is a voile top with eyelet detail throughout, five buttons at the front, a drawstring at the neck, a tie closure at the bottom hem, and crocheted straps. It is semi-sheer and available in two color combinations: pink/grey and purple/navy.
Check Tank Top by Splendid
It's hard to find plaid that is cute but doesn't remind one of a Sadie Hawkin's dance from high school, but Splendid was able to do it! The Check Tank Top is a plaid voile tank with a bow at the bust, elastic banding at the top and bottom hems, and spaghetti straps. It's semi-sheer and available in rosebud and sunshine.
Geo Bow Tie Camisole by Milly
Everyone needs a cute, white summer tank top! The Geo Bow Tie Camisole by Milly is a cotton top with embroidery throughout, elastic banding and ruching at the top and bottom hems, beaded spaghetti straps that tie at the shoulders, and a lining. It's sexy, will keep you cool in the sun, and a blast to wear!

TakePride - Help the troops with your tees!
We recently found out about TakePride, a "grassroots effort started by young artists and former members of the military to re-define what it means to support the troops by using art, style and the stories of real-life Americans at war." They have a line of tees that each has a story behind it. They are really worth looking at both for their stories but also because the tees have some great designs. For many of us, it's quite easy to live our comfy lives and forget what is happening in other parts of the country. By buying a tee, you are helping out too, as at least 20% of the company's profits go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
Malea Tunic by Ella Moss
We love Ella Moss here at Shirt Snob. Here's another fun and sexy top from her. The Malea Tunic has a crochet inset and ruching at the front, a crossover split back with a tie, large banding at the bottom hem, ruching at the sides, and short flutter sleeves. It comes in black and white.
Chelsie Ruffle Top by Joie
The ruffles on the Chelsie Ruffle Top by Joie turn an average tank into something special. Besides the ruffles at the V-neck, there's elastic banding at the waist, three buttons and a tie at the bust, and no sleeves. It's available in caviar and steel grey.

Four Band Stripe Tank by Splendid
The Four Band Stripe Tank by Splendid looks like the perfect casual and comfortable tank for the hottest days of the year. Available in three colors (cornflower, lacquer, and sunshine), it is a striped tank with ruching at the scoop neck, seam detail at the front, elastic banding at the bottom hem, and spaghetti straps. At such a great price, you can afford to buy it in all three colors!
Copper Eroded Tank Top by Imitation
While we really like the Copper Eroded Tank Top by Imitation, we're not enjoying the skirt quite so much, and we hope that our readers can look past that and judge this tank alone. It has a curved hemline, silk contrast throughout the scoop neck, center back panel, and straps, and a scoop back. It's slinky and sexy and would look great with a pair of skinny jeans.
Calypso Top by Tart
The Calypso Top by Tart is a really fun tank with all its draping. There's pleating and an overlay at the bust, a loose body, and one inch straps that loop at the back. It is available in black and crimson.

Rhianna Strapless Top by Ella Moss
The Rhianna Strapless Top by Ella Moss is the perfect top for showing off your nice shoulders! This tube top has a tie and ruching at the bust, wrap detail at the front, and is lined at the bodice. This is one we definitely want in our closet this summer!
Scarf Print Baby Doll Camisole by Free People
We can't get enough of this next top, the Scarf Print Baby Doll Camisole by Free People. We love yellow, and this top makes bohemian very now. This print voile top has a ribbed jersey bodice, a lace inset at the bust, crocheted lace banding at the empire waist, and adjustable spaghetti straps from the V at the back. It's definitely a unique top, and a beautiful one too!
Jarmon Jacket by BB Dakota
The Shirt Snob has found her new favorite jacket! The Jarmon Jacket by BB Dakota is a beautiful indigo blue with short puff sleeves, a hood, front pockets, four buttons down the front, and a removable belt at the waist. It has a slim fit too so it's quite flattering. It's also 100% cotton, so it's not too heavy. Perfect for an air conditioned office!
