8 elevated basic tops I’m loving for spring 🌸👚 El 8 elevated basic tops I’m loving for spring 🌸👚

Elevated basics are one of my go-to pieces this time of year. They’re a step up from a plain tee with just enough detail to feel more put together.

These tops have textures, soft patterns, a pop of color, or a fun sleeve. They’re easy to dress up or down, layer, or wear on their own… which is why I reach for them on repeat.

Here are 8 of my favorite elevated basic tops for spring—some new, some longtime staples 🤍 Which one is your favorite?
