While it may be tempting to stay home in front of your personal AC, Target wants you to shed the layers and show off your best summer looks with new clothing drops that are proving to be fashion-forward, lightweight and, most importantly, easy on the wallet.

Out of all the fresh styles to choose from, ShopBillboard couldn’t help but zero in on the online retailer’s sleeveless blouse that’s only $25. The cuffed top will easily replace your crop tops as the design offers a mid-weight woven fabric that’s light and airy for days you can’t bring yourself to throw on a heavier T-shirt. Since it comes with a sleeveless construction, it can provide optimal air circulation to keep you cool and comfortable whether you’re getting brunch with friends or commuting to the office.

A New Day Sleeveless Blouse

Take on the summer heat in this elevated cropped sleeveless blouse that comes in sizes XS-4X and is “so cute” on all body types, according to reviewers. Since the top cinches at the bottom, it can look flattering on a range of body shapes to define a waistline. Size up or down depending on where you want the hem to land. What we like: the Target blouse is made from a soft material that won’t end up digging into your skin. You can also choose from two shades or stock up on both.

You’ll also notice that the material has a woven style in addition to a crew neckline that, when paired with layered necklaces, will add a more clean-cut and dressed up look. If you want to go for something more casual, then pair the top with some barrel-leg jeans and platform boots.

One reviewer also praised how the fit ends up having “no awkward armpit gaping” and holds a “nice shape” when you put it on. For a more looser look though, they recommend sizing up.

Hype Life: Supreme Was Just Sold Again For $1.5 Billion

HipHopWired Featured Video

Logo For Fashion Label Supreme

The world’s most popular streetwear label has a new owner. Supreme has been sold once again for $1.5 billion.

High Snobiety is reporting that the New York-based brand has been put up for sale for a second time within the last five years. Back in November 2020, VF Corporation announced they agreed to purchase Supreme in an all-cash deal to the tune of $2.1 billion. VF is a global apparel company that houses several high-profile brands including The North Face, VANS, Timberland, Dickies, Jansport, and more. The two entities enjoyed a longstanding business relationship before the agreement due to several co-branded efforts between Supreme and their brands.

On July 17, VF announced they had entered an agreement with EssilorLuxottica to acquire Supreme for $1.5 billion. The deal has taken the industry by surprise as EssilorLuxottica has historically only played in the eyewear space.

Francesco Milleri, Chairman at EssilorLuxottica expressed his enthusiasm in a formal statement

“We see an incredible opportunity in bringing an iconic brand like Supreme into our Company” he said. “It perfectly aligns with our innovation and development journey, offering us a direct connection to new audiences, languages and creativity. With its unique brand identity, fully-direct commercial approach and customer experience – a model we will work to preserve – Supreme will have its own space within our house brand portfolio and complement our licensed portfolio as well. They will be well-positioned to leverage our Group’s expertise, capabilities, and operating platform.”

Supreme Founder James Jebbia commented, “In EssilorLuxottica, we have a unique partner that understands that we are at our best when we stay true to the brand and continue to operate and grow as we have for the past 30 years. This move lets us focus on the brand, our products, and our customers, while setting us up for long-term success.”
