THE FUSE

Just when you thought the Y2K revival might have peaked, another one of the early aughts’ staples has reemerged: the layered look. But unlike its original incarnation that was all about stacking mall-informed camisoles and polo shirts, today’s layering renaissance feels more elevated — serving as the perfect blueprint for fall dressing. And Athleta’s Perfect Rib Layered Top is acing the layer-sance. In a chic stacked silhouette, you’d never suspect this twofer top is actually one streamlined piece, offering the look of layering without the bulk. Nostalgic yet modern, the Layered Top pairs as easily with sweatpants as it does with daily denim — proof that Athleta’s style influence extends well beyond the gym.
