This top would be perfect paired with jean shorts or a basic skirt for any summer activity.

The shirt is looser at the top and then tightens as it goes down to make your waist and stomach look smaller. This top would be perfect paired with jean shorts or looser pants to contrast from the tight fit of the top.
