Valentino’s New $1,980 Tee Is Silly; These 4 Embellished Tops Cost Way Less

SheFinds

Valentino-known for outftiting the ladies-who-lunch set-is going more casual with a line of 10 T-shirts that cost up to $1,980. According to The Cut, the tees (see above) are embellished with scraps leftover from expensive Valentino garments, but that mostly sounds to us like crafty recycling (what were they doing with the "scraps" otherwise?), not a fact meriting a two grand tee shirt spend.

We found four embellished tees that don't cost a mortgage payment.

If you're a size medium, act fast because this Ella Moss Antoinette lace panel T-shirt ($88) probably won't be around much longer. We love the girly-modern lace detail.

This Mossimo Black tee ($16.99) has silver stud detailing that's perfect for skinny jeans and platform shoes, but also works under a blazer at the office - no one will even see it till you ditch the jacket for evening.

Joe's Jeans oversized T-shirt ($82) that has a cool studded shoulder and slouchy cut that's both comfy and evocative of the '80s. Wear it with dark, wide-leg jeans instead of leggings for a more modern look.

This Diane von Furstenberg white and silver sequin T-shirt ($225) may be pricey, but it's still $1,755 less than a Valentino tee. If you'd prefer to wear pants to a fancy event, this top is an appropriate, comfortable answer for what to wear on top.
