Color Stories: Your Guide to Styling Five Must-Have Shades
We all have those days where getting dressed feels harder than it should...so we wanted to make it easier (and more fun). We pulled together our Everyday Poplin Tops in our 5 favorite shades and styled each one with its own color story. You can see exactly how to pair pieces, play with tones, and even match your makeup without overthinking it. Think of this as your go-to guide for putting together outfits that just work—easy, elevated, and still totally you.
Melon
Melon is one of those shades that quietly does a lot of work—it’s soft, sun-warmed, and effortlessly flattering without feeling overly sweet. The Erica Everyday Top in this hue brings a fresh, luminous base to your outfit, striking that perfect balance between peach and coral. Paired with crisp white denim shorts, the look feels clean and elevated, while neutral sandals ground the palette with an easy, understated finish. To tie it all together, a coral-toned blush adds just the right flush to the cheeks, echoing the warmth of the top without competing for attention. The result is a cohesive, glow-forward look that feels polished, modern, and naturally radiant.
Seafoam
Seafoam is that fresh, mood-lifting color that instantly makes an outfit feel light and effortless. We paired The Erica Everyday Top in this cool, breezy shade with our rugby Peyton skort for a playful mix of sporty and polished, then added pops of pink with a sneaker to keep the look feeling fun and unexpected. The contrast brings just the right amount of energy without overwhelming the softness of the seafoam. For makeup, a rosy mauve liner paired with a sheer coordinating gloss keeps things easy and wearable, adding a touch of warmth that ties back to the pink accents. It’s the kind of look that transitions seamlessly through seasons—fresh now, and just as chic later on.
Light Pink
Light pink is the definition of soft, feminine styling—it’s easy, romantic, and always feels a little extra special. We paired The Erica Everyday Top in this delicate shade with floral denim shorts to lean into that sweetness, creating a look that feels light and playful without trying too hard. The pearl-detailed sandal adds a polished touch, bringing in a subtle elegance that elevates the whole outfit. For makeup, a mauvy pink blush keeps everything in the same tonal family, giving the cheeks a natural, rosy glow that ties it all together. It’s an effortlessly pretty look that feels timeless, fresh, and just a little bit dressed up.
Hot Pink
Hot pink is one of those shades that instantly makes a statement—in the best way. We styled The Erica Everyday Top in this bold hue with a wide leg crop denim to keep the look balanced and effortless, then added a gold sandal for a touch of warmth and polish. It’s that perfect mix of laid-back and eye-catching. For makeup, we kept it simple and let the color do the work—pairing it with our office-favorite “Summer Fruit” gloss for a juicy, vibrant finish. When your top and lip are this good, they really do all the talking.
White
A classic crisp white is one you’ll reach for again and again. We styled The Erica Everyday Top in white with our signature sweatpant denim shorts for that perfect mix of relaxed and refined, then finished the look with a neutral sandal to keep everything grounded and easy. It’s effortlessly clean, but still feels styled. For makeup, we kept things in the same soft, natural direction with a coordinating neutral eyeshadow palette, adding just enough warmth and definition without taking away from the simplicity. It’s a seasonless look that always feels fresh, polished, and put together.
