Not to sound biased or anything, but our team of editors is a pretty stylish group. I always turn to my fashion colleagues to learn about the latest emerging trend, glean some outfit inspiration, or discover my latest shopping obsession. Not only do they have an excellent eye for shopping picks, but they also have great taste in personal style. So when half of our editorial team shares the same fabulous wardrobe basic, you know it has to be a good one.
Enter the Medusa Top by Lioness. An affordable label stocked at retailers like Shopbop and Urban Outfitters, Lioness is an Australian brand that impresses us with its affordable but elevated pieces, and this top is no different. At first glance, it’s a plain tank but look a little closer and you’ll see that it’s actually chic AF. Made from a comfortable stretch fabric, it features a high neckline and gathered detail at the sides that lend a polished and expensive-looking feel to it.
Ahead, see how many of my fellow fashion editors and I are styling the Lioness draped top and why we love it so much. Then, shop more tops with a similar vibe and discover the rest of the Lioness line further down.
“I’m notorious for wearing my white ribbed tanks on repeat, so this is a fun upgrade. It’s still simple but feels really elevated thanks to the pretty draping at the top. I’ll be wearing it with maxi skirts like this one, and jean shorts alike.”—Anneliese Dominguez, branded content fashion editor
“I’ve been buying a lot of colorful separates lately, like these printed bottoms, so a white tank is a necessary styling piece in my summer wardrobe. I like this one, in particular, because it’s the ideal length to wear with all of my favorite high-waist pants, from belted trousers to stretchy beach pants, plus the high neckline makes it feel a bit more polished. I wore this ‘fit on a Sunday in Malibu and scored tons of compliments, just saying.”—Michaela Bushkin, senior branded content fashion editor
“I’ve been shamelessly wearing this top on repeat this summer. I own a ton of white ribbed tanks but none of them feel quite as elevated as this one. The higher neckline and subtle gather at the top makes this piece super easy to dress up, which I love.”—Aniyah Morinia, associate branded content fashion editor
I wouldn’t think to describe a white tank top as “elegant,” but that’s exactly what comes to mind with this one. The high necklines just lend an elevated quality to it that none of my other white tanks possess, which makes it far easier to dress up.
I might have to snag this sand color next.
It also works as a going-out top paired with a miniskirt and heels.
The white version we’re all obsessed with.
Yep, it also comes in gray.
This one is a favorite of our Editor in Chief Kat Collings, who always looks chic.
This Reformation top hits on all the details we love: the high neckline and subtle ruching.
