Jennifer Lopez wore it to a dance studio. Sabrina Carpenter chose it for her new music video for “Manchild.” A classic shirt, tied at the waist, may be the simplest outfit you’ll wear this summer, but surprisingly, it still feels like a fashion moment with impact. A basic piece that suddenly transforms into something with character.

Throw on a bikini top, tie it at the waist, and call it a beach outfit. Or pair it with cropped jeans and sneakers for a run.
This trick works because it doesn't look like you're trying too hard. A white or striped shirt, loosely tied around your stomach, gives off the "I didn't think much of this outfit," feeling, even if you've thought it through. As sunscreen fans, we like that it covers your arms and shoulders without making you feel hot.
Clearly, both J.Lo and Sabrina Carpenter know the power of a simple style trick.
