Look hot this summer with a sleeveless silk top. Banana Republic has half a dozen tops worth wearing. The red silk top shown here is described on their site as follows: "Knotted straps and a macramé woven front give this top a unique, handmade appeal, but it takes an elevated turn when worn with a ribbon belt, which creates a ladylike empire waist from its silky bodice."
