"What are you wearing tonight?"
 

It's the age-old question—every woman has asked or been asked it; few have a quick answer. Maybe because it forces us to confront our entire wardrobe and play a game of mental gymnastics—mulling and mixing and matching in our minds. But the answer may be simpler than we think: the going-out top. Just as so many other style and beauty relics of the '90s and early aughts are currently resurfacing (see low-rise pants, slip dresses, and miniskirts), so is the going-out top. Sexy, cool, a little retro, and a whole lot of fun. All you need is a pair of jeans.

But wait, you didn’t know Victoria’s Secret sold those? Scroll on.
