When it comes to shopping for spring blouses, breathability is my number one criterion. Of course, style is a close second, but there’s nothing worse than getting stuck in a sweat-inducing top for hours at a time. So, when I found this Amazon Essentials short-sleeve blouse at the top of the retailer’s best-sellers list, I immediately understood why: It’s equal parts “flattering” and “breathable,” shoppers say, and select shades and sizes start at just $19.
Available in six colors and patterns, the top is made from machine-washable viscose that a reviewer confirmed is “lightweight but not see-through.” Plus, it has functional buttons down the front, a split neckline, and a rounded hem with small side slits. The top also has pleated shoulders that subtly conceal your bra straps and prevent them from creating bumps.
