The tied-neck is very in this season; we lurve this comfortable rayon/lyocell blend from Banana Republic. Available in orange, green, or brown, they’d all look great beneath a suit. We particularly love the idea of the green one beneath a navy or gray structured cardigan, perhaps with a brooch on the lapel for some added interest. On sale for $24.99 (was $44). Women: Cap-sleeve tie-neck top - Pine green

Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale is here! Tons of great stuff is on sale; for today’s TPS report we like this modern t-shirt from Theory. It’s longer than your usual t-shirt, has slightly puffed sleeves, and comes in 5 colors. We think it’d look great beneath a cropped jacket, for a modern look, or tucked in and worn beneath a cardigan or on its own for a more traditional look. Was $65, now $39.

New York and Company’s cotton-spandex shirts are great basics to keep in your closet — the touch of spandex means not only that they’re forgiving but also, in our experiences, that you can sometimes forgo the iron. They’re having a sale right now, too, on all of their city stretch shirts — most are marked to $25, with a special sale where if you buy one you get the second one 75% off. So you could get 2 blouses for under $33 — not bad if you’re growing your wardrobe. We like this great blue plaid number — it’s on trend with the resurgence of plaid without being lumberjack-like.

If you love DvF’s wrap dresses, but can’t quite pull one off (either because the prints aren’t flattering on you, or wrap dresses just aren’t flattering on you), you may want to try a wrap blouse, like this woven one on sale at ShopBop. Worn with trousers, it’s less feminine than a wrap dress, and there’s no fear of the wrap dress popping open throughout the day. We highly recommend wearing it with a tank top, as almost every DvF thing we own is cut way, way too low for work. Originally $265, it’s now marked to $185. Diane von Furstenberg Camille Wrap Blouse

About a year ago, we were on the hunt for a super thin cotton turtleneck to layer under our sleeveless dresses and short-sleeved blazers.  We wanted something very thin, high quality, comfortable, and washable — with slightly longish sleeves if possible.  And, a year ago, it seemed like we could barely find one anywhere.  So when we saw this “whisper thin” turtleneck at the Gap, we had to point it out — it comes in a variety of sizes and a bevy of colors.  And, best of all, it’s only $26.  Women: Whisper thin turtleneck - true black knit

We like the navy version of this tank, but we love the white version. (We posted the navy because it was easier to see!) We think the ruching at the neckline would look great under a brown or navy suit, and the neckline is perfect to accessorize with a pair of pearls or a demure necklace. On sale, from $58 to $29.95.

Great top from Ella Moss — we think it would look great with flared trousers, possibly with a high waist. Worn with a shrunken jacket, the crochet detailing won’t leave you showing too much skin. Available at Pink Mascara for $97. Ella Moss Button Up Blouse

Our love affair with Gap continues this season with this cotton/silk blend pleated-neck top.  Alas, it only comes in earth brown and a pink floral, but try the earth brown and that gorgeous neckline beneath a beige or gray suit.  With Gap’s weekend sale, it’s available now for $28 (was $48).  Women: Pleated-neck top - earth brown

We like this laid-back v neck tunic from Rebecca Taylor — it’s pretty and modern in an old-fashioned, romantic way — and yet it would be great under suit. How many articles of clothing is that true of? Better yet, the tunic is on sale at Shopbop - it was $228, and is now $159. (The version in white is even less!) Rebecca Taylor V Neck Tunic
