Sale Tops
Nine tees and nothing else in the drawer, and then a week turns up with a dinner in it, a cold Sunday and a Friday that is not quite casual: sale tops exist for exactly that week. A polo, a check shirt, a crew sweat. Buying across the week is what a reduced price makes affordable, and it is the only real reason to shop a sale this way.
Sale Tops
Sale Polos, Check Shirts and Sweats for the Rest of the Week
Breadth is worth more than depth in sale tops, and a reduced price is what makes breadth affordable. A cotton pique polo covers the days a tee is slightly too little. A check shirt goes over a tee on a Friday and holds up on its own at a table. A crew sweat takes the cold end. Four different things cover four different kinds of day. Four of the same thing cover one. Men's tops and women's tops hold the current season on either side of the range.
Reduced Tees, Polos and Check Shirts
Weight is the quickest way to see the gap. Cotton jersey does the warm end of a week. A pique polo, a woven check shirt and a brushed crew sweat each take it a step further into the cold, and between them a week stops needing the same tee with a jacket over it twice. All tops puts the whole top half in one grid, and long sleeve tops handles the sleeves if that is where the hole is. So it comes down to whether you are filling a gap in the week or going deeper into the part of it you already have covered.
