Embellished tops are all over, denim is nothing new, and pairing them together is not the most novel idea either. But with Fall coming along soon, why not get a quick refresher on how to amp up the denim we all love so much? While a t-shirt with jeans is wildly sexy, sometimes the situation calls for something more dressy. That's when an embellished top serves its fashion purpose. We love the way Emma Roberts fancied up her lightwash skinny jeans with a floral embellished top and gold pumps, how Natalie Portman's black jeans and flats sparkled via a black appliqué top while traveling, and how Claire Danes added pizazz to her dark-wash straight-leg jeans with a beaded tunic. Inspired by these ladies, we set off to find the best embellished tops that will take your favorite denim to a dazzling level.
Whether it be a bit of fringe or a smattering of sequins, embellished shoulders are a surefire way to take your basics to the next level.
